Our face has to work hard every day, for example when we talk, laugh or yawn. We constantly use our facial muscles, without which facial expressions or non-verbal communication would not be possible. In addition, the skin is constantly exposed to environmental influences that stress, dry out and irritate it. Over time, this leaves some marks on the face and wrinkles. Once they are there, they do not disappear naturally.
This is where aesthetic medicine comes in: With a Botox injection, wrinkles can be smoothed out again and the face appears gently renewed and rejuvenated.
What is Botox and how does it work?
Wrinkles are the result of natural skin ageing, as the elasticity and resilience of the skin decreases over time. In addition, our facial expressions cause small wrinkles on the face, which deepen over time and eventually become permanently visible. This is where Botox injections come in: Botox® is the brand name for a drug containing the active ingredient botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin is injected into certain facial muscles and relaxes them. This reduces wrinkles and gently smoothes the skin. Botox treatment is therefore particularly suitable for combating facial wrinkles. These include frown lines, forehead wrinkles and wrinkles around the eyes (also known as crow's feet).
