Praxis Avorya - Treatment with Botulinumtoxin

Botulinum toxin treatments are a quick and effective method of reducing wrinkles. They offer a non-surgical option for people who want a more youthful and refreshed appearance. By relaxing the facial muscles, wrinkles can be smoothed and skin texture improved. However, you should be fully informed about the risks and side effects before treatment and consult an experienced doctor in order to achieve the best possible results.

Treatment with botulinum toxin can be used to treat wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movements. Small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected into the muscles to be treated in a low concentration. This leads to the targeted inhibition of muscle activity and results in a smoothing of the skin area.

The most common areas treated with botulinum toxin are the forehead, the so-called frown lines between the eyebrows and the crow's feet around the eyes. Targeted injections in these areas can achieve a significant improvement in the appearance of the skin. The results are usually visible within a few days and last for several months. 

Botulinum toxin is mainly used to treat mimic wrinkles on the face (e.g. frown lines, mouth wrinkles) and in the neck and décolleté area. The muscle relaxant can be used to treat the following types of wrinkles/problem areas, among others:

• Frown lines/glabella lines
• Forehead wrinkles/worry lines
• Eyebrow lift
• Crow's feet/smile lines
• Marionette lines/mentolabial lines
• Bunny lines (nasal wrinkles)
• Mouth wrinkles/plisse wrinkles
• Strawberry chin/cobblestone chin/chin wrinkles
• Turkey neck/platysma folds
• Smoker's lines
• Gummysmile
• Facial contouring and narrowing
• Migraine botulinum treatment
• Lip Flip (for fuller lips without filler)
• Masseter muscle
• Botulinum toxin for sweating (hyperhidrosis)
• Bruxism/teeth grinding
• Nasal narrowing
• Migraine and depression
• Corner of the mouth lift
• Tensions in the neck and shoulder muscles
• Nefertiti lift

Before the therapy, a detailed consultation takes place, in which your medical history is recorded, and the skin situation is assessed. Dr.med.univ. Kerbler (A) informs you about treatment options, risks, procedure, and costs. A photo documentation is created. The injection is done with fine needles, for which anesthesia is usually not necessary. The muscle relaxant is injected at several points to achieve a beautiful result while maintaining facial expression.

The session lasts about 15 minutes. A first treatment success is visible after three to five days, the full effect occurs no later than after 14 days. Depending on the area and individual conditions, the effects last three to six months. A follow-up appointment after 14 days allows for a review of the result and, if necessary, targeted follow-up treatment.

Botulinum toxin treatments are a popular method of reducing the appearance of wrinkles and making the skin look younger and fresher.  

After such a treatment, follow-up care is of great importance as it helps to optimise possible results and minimise complications. Aftercare following treatment with botulinum toxin is relatively straightforward. Most patients return to their daily lives immediately and do not need to take any special measures.

Overall, botulinum toxin treatment offers a variety of benefits for patients who have both aesthetic and medical concerns. With an increasing number of applications and constant advances in research, it is likely that the use of botulinum toxin will continue to increase in the future. However, it is important that treatments are carried out safely and responsibly in order to achieve the best possible outcome for patients.
