Botulinum toxin (Botox for short) is a natural protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It temporarily inhibits signal transmission from the nerve to the muscle, causing it to relax. Since the signal to the muscle cell to perform the movement is absent, there is a reduction in frowning or forehead wrinkles.
In addition to being used to smooth wrinkles, Botox can also be used to treat excessive sweating and, in chronic cases, to treat migraines.
Risks
Botulinum toxin type A has been used for medical aesthetic treatments since the 90's and side effects are very rare. The injection may cause redness, swelling or bruising at the injection sites. Spread of the nerve agent into the bloodstream is almost impossible due to the local injection. However, we recommend that the treatment be performed only by a qualified medical professional.
The treatment
During Botox treatment, the nerve toxin is administered into the skin with small injections. On average, the effect lasts for 3-6 months, after which the muscles return to normal. Regular treatment with Botox takes about 15 minutes. A little more time is needed for the initial consultation. We do not treat pregnant and breastfeeding mothers or patients with certain rare diseases, such as the nerve disease myastenia gravi.
Hyaluronidase is an endogenous enzyme that breaks down hyaluron. If an injection with a filler containing hyaluronic acid does not produce a satisfactory cosmetic result , if overcorrection has occurred by mistake or if complications are imminent, the hyaluronic acid in the skin can be rapidly dissolved again with hyaluronidase.
During treatments with hyaluron, so-called fillers, consisting of hyaluronic acid, are injected under the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a natural protein and an important component of connective tissue that, among other things, ensures that the skin is supple and elastic. As the skin ages, it automatically loses elasticity and thus substance. The water bound in the skin by the hyaluronic acid decreases and wrinkles appear. The jelly-like substance of fillers is therefore ideal for filling these wrinkles and rejuvenating the skin area.
Risks
Since hyaluronic acid is a protein produced naturally in the body, the treatment has no unpleasant consequences for the body. The injection may cause redness, swelling or bruising at the injection sites.
The treatment
Hyaluronic acid is administered into the skin with small injections. The treatment takes about 30 to 45 minutes on average. The effect remains visible for 6 to 12 months. We do not treat pregnant and nursing mothers, as well as patients with certain diseases, such as chronic infections or certain types of cancer.
