BOTULINUM TOXIN
Botulinum toxin
is a powerful medication available only by medical prescription. For many years, it has brought relief to children and adults suffering from migraines, cerebral palsy, neurological diseases with increased muscle tension, allowing patients to improve their motor function and lead a normal life. The remedy has been tested and proven to be completely safe (in studies where it has been used by and under the supervision of medical specialists) on millions of patients worldwide – it has no permanent side effects (in other words, its effects are fully reversible).
The relatively small doses used in aesthetic medicine make it a true lunchtime procedure – with no period of convalescence, unnoticeable to those around you: practically invisible traces of the injections, gradual onset of the drug’s action after a few days, the effect also gradually disappearing after a few months. In the hands of an experienced practitioner, it
provides a significant improvement in appearance and wrinkle reduction without affecting facial features and natural appearance.
The most important indications and effects of botulinum toxin in aesthetic medicine:

- It significantly reduces forehead wrinkles, wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet) and lower eyelids, frown lines.
- Allows a gentle brow lift or compensation of pre-existing brow asymmetry.

- Provides spectacular and often months or even years of symptom-free periods in excessive sweating of the armpits, hands and feet
