Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injections that relax the muscles driving dynamic expression lines — frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines and crow's feet around the eyes. At Ars Estetica the treatment is performed by a doctor after assessing how your face moves, so expression is softened rather than frozen. Single areas or discounted multi-area plans are available, with a full-face option for patients wanting broader, balanced softening of upper-face lines.

Anti-wrinkle injections use small, precisely placed doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce the activity of selected facial muscles. By easing how strongly those muscles contract, the overlying skin creases less and existing dynamic lines may soften over the following days. At Ars Estetica the treatment begins with a doctor assessing your facial movement and agreeing which areas to treat — most commonly the glabella (frown lines), forehead and the lateral eye area, with the option to combine several areas in one session. The injections themselves take around ten to fifteen minutes using a very fine needle; no anaesthetic is usually required and most people return to normal activities the same day, avoiding lying flat, heat and vigorous exercise for the rest of that day. Results typically begin to appear after three to seven days and settle by around two weeks, with the effect generally associated with a duration of three to four months before muscle movement gradually returns. The clinic prices single areas, two- and three-area combinations and a full-face plan, so treatment can be scaled to your goals. Anti-wrinkle injections are intended for adults wanting a refreshed but still-expressive look; they are not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the doctor will review your suitability and any contraindications before treating.
