What is meant by treatment?

Botox for wrinkles at LIVION in Hamburg

Botox treatment is a minimally invasive procedure in which small amounts of the active ingredient botulinum toxin A are injected into the facial muscles. This temporarily inhibits the muscles in the respective area and can reduce wrinkles. Botox is primarily used to treat forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and crow's feet.

How is a Botox treatment performed?

Wrinkles can be reduced while preserving natural facial expressions

During a Botox treatment, the active ingredient, botulinum toxin type A, is injected into the targeted muscles. The procedure takes only a few minutes and usually does not require anesthesia, as a very fine, nearly painless needle is used.

What you should bear in mind after treatment

Aftercare following Botox treatment

After treatment, you are usually immediately socially presentable. Minor redness and swelling may occur immediately after treatment, but this usually subsides within a very short time. Make-up should not be worn on the day of treatment. Sun exposure and saunas should be avoided for approximately one week. The first effects are visible after up to three days and are fully achieved after 14 days.
