Botox is the commonly used name for botulinum toxin – a substance that has been used in aesthetic and therapeutic medicine for many years. It works by temporarily blocking neuromuscular transmission in selected areas. As a result, the muscles responsible for facial expression lines relax, and the skin above them becomes smoother.
Botox is particularly effective in reducing expression lines such as horizontal forehead lines, the so-called “frown lines” between the eyebrows, and “crow’s feet” around the eyes.
It is also used to treat bruxism (excessive tension of the masseter muscles), excessive sweating of the underarms, hands and feet, as well as chronic migraines.
Botox treatment is quick and minimally invasive. It involves several precise injections with a very fine needle into carefully selected points. Most patients do not require anesthesia, and the procedure usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes.
You can return to your normal daily activities immediately after the treatment, while following the recommended aftercare instructions. For 24 hours, you should avoid intense physical activity, saunas and massaging the injection sites.
The first results usually become visible after 2–3 days, with the full effect developing within 7–14 days. Results last an average of 4–6 months, after which muscle activity gradually returns. The treatment can be safely repeated to maintain the desired effect.
At Garden Clinic, botulinum toxin treatments are performed exclusively by experienced doctors specializing in aesthetic medicine. Patient safety and natural-looking results are at the heart of every procedure.
We take an individualized approach, selecting the dose and injection points to smooth the skin while preserving natural facial expressions.
