Botox effectively smooths dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repeated facial muscle activity. Commonly treated areas include forehead lines, the glabellar frown lines (between the eyebrows), and fine lines around the eyes, also known as crow’s feet.

Botulinum toxin type A works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to the targeted muscles. This relaxes the muscles underneath the skin, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance. The treatment preserves natural facial expressions while softening lines—without surgery.

The procedure takes only a few minutes. Using a very fine needle, the doctor injects precise amounts of Botox into the relevant facial muscles. No anesthesia is required. Our experienced physicians ensure the natural expression of your face is maintained while achieving smooth and balanced results.

Effects typically appear within 2–3 days, with the full result visible after 10–14 days. The smoothing effect lasts 3–6 months on average, depending on individual muscle activity and metabolism. Follow-up treatments are easily possible to maintain results.

Avoid makeup, intense touching of the treated area, and strenuous exercise on the day of treatment. For about one week, direct sun exposure, sauna, and tanning beds should be avoided. Minor redness or small bruises may occur but usually disappear the same day. Most patients are socially presentable immediately after treatment.

Botulinum toxin type A is considered very safe when correctly dosed and administered by qualified medical professionals. At LIVION Hamburg, only licensed physicians perform the treatment. Rare side effects, such as mild redness or small bruises, are temporary.

Yes. Preventive Botox treatments are increasingly popular among younger patients. By relaxing the facial muscles early, the formation of deep wrinkles can be delayed or even prevented. We provide personalized advice in a detailed consultation to determine the best approach.
