FAQ (Anti Wrinkles Injections)

How does muscle relaxing toxin injection work?

It works by relaxing facial muscles, thereby temporarily reducing and smoothing dynamic frown lines and wrinkles, i.e. those lines caused by movement of the muscles.

Is treatment painful?

Discomfort is usually minimal and brief. Prior to injection, your physician may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anaesthetic cream. The entire procedure takes approximately 10 minutes. Most patients are in and out of the physician’s office without downtime following treatment.


How long does the treatment take?

Anti-Wrinkle treatments usually take somewhere between 10-20 minutes.

Will I still be able to make facial expressions?

Although the results are visible, a treatment with muscle relaxing toxins will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look as if you’ve “had work done.” The muscle activity that causes frown lines between the brows is temporarily reduced, so you can still frown or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases between your brows.

When will I see results of the treatment?


How long will the effect last for?

The treatment  is temporary; the effects may vary from patient to patient depending on the dose administered and the individual patient differences, with duration lasting approximately 3-6 months.

What are the most frequent reported side effects?

- Headache

- Discomfort, burning sensation, redness or bruising at the injection site.

- local muscle weakness including temporary drooping of the eyelids, double vision, dry eyes, lack of feeling and nausea or flu like symptoms.

Side effects are temporary and, in case of the eyelid drooping, generally resolve spontaneously within 2-4 weeks.
