Wrinkle smoothing with neurotoxin (BTX)
Although wrinkles can sometimes add a certain elegance, most people don't appreciate them very much. Wrinkles often make us look exhausted, anxious, irritable or unkind, and add to our age. It's no surprise, then, that most of us try to avoid wrinkles or, if possible, disguise or cover them up.
BTX is both a medical remedy and a natural substance containing toxins that inhibit the transmission of neuromuscular impulse, prevent excessive muscle contractions and relieve muscle tension.
Effects of neurotoxin (BTX)
- Prevents muscle contraction, allowing the skin to remain smooth and taut
- Smoothes existing wrinkles
- Prevention of new wrinkles
- Restores skin elasticity and prevents skin loss
Why choose BTX application?
Creams and serums only work on the surface of the skin, and if we are looking for a more long-term and effective solution, it is better to use modern medical methods.
Signs of aging, especially wrinkles, can be effectively alleviated by applying substances that relieve muscle tension. This leads to tightening of the skin and smoothing of wrinkles.
What types of wrinkles is BTX suitable for?
At Elizabeth Beauty Clinic, we use cutting-edge products that contain small amounts of highly purified protein, which is a derivative of the bacteria Clostridium botulinum.
How does the BTX treatment work?
BTX wrinkle smoothing is an outpatient procedure that takes only a few minutes. The application is done with a thin needle under the skin in the appropriate area, the procedure may be uncomfortable for a few seconds. Within minutes to hours after the procedure, the tiny punctures are smoothed out and no one will be able to tell you have had the treatment.
How long does the effect of BTX wrinkle smoothing last?
Neurotoxins only work for a temporary period of time, their effect is not permanent. After a few days, up to 2 weeks after application, you will notice a relaxation of the muscle which will then last for 3 to 6 months. With more repeated treatments, the intervals are usually longer.
How does BTX differ from hyaluronic acid fillers?
The principle of action of neurotoxin is completely different from the effect of hyaluronic acid fillers. While neurotoxins block the movement of muscles, which subsequently do not form wrinkles, hyaluronic acid hydrates the skin, thus helping to fill in pre-existing wrinkles.
BTX will prevent the formation of new wrinkles, helping to smooth out lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows or around the mouth. Hyaluronic acid is an excellent hydrating filler for existing static wrinkles.
Both methods can be combined perfectly. We can best plan the treatment and procedure for removing your wrinkles together during your individual consultation.
Are there risks and complications associated with wrinkle smoothing?
If you choose an erudite doctor who has training and experience in aesthetic dermatology, then the risk is almost zero. The correct dose is important when applying BTX. Over-application would result in a stiff, "emotionless" facial expression, which is not our goal. Instead, at Elizabeth Beauty Clinic, we strive for natural rejuvenation and relaxation of facial expressions.
What can BTX be combined with?
Other methods are also used to reduce or eliminate wrinkles. To fill in existing static wrinkles, we apply hyaluronic acid fillers. Other skin rejuvenation alternatives include self-blood therapy, mesotherapy, microneedling, laser treatments, chemical peels, rejuvenation with Endolift® treatments, or non-invasive facelifts.
Every skin and every age requires its own treatments, which is why we offer individual consultations as part of our service.
When is an app not safe?
The application of neurotoxin (BTX) is not suitable for everyone. A thorough consultation is always conducted prior to the procedure, during which we focus on the client's overall health, medical history and any contraindications. Our primary goal is safety and maximum effect of the procedure, so if we find that BTX is not suitable for a client, we will suggest an alternative solution tailored to their needs.
Who is BTX not suitable for?
- Pregnant women
- Breastfeeding mothers
- People suffering from certain neurological and muscular disorders
- People with allergies to some of the ingredients of the product
- Persons with blood clotting disorders
- In case of inflammation at the site of application
