Botox treatment – gentle wrinkle reduction without surgery
Expression lines are a natural part of the face's expression—but over time, they can become permanent and make the face appear tired, stern, or older. Botox (botulinum toxin) treatment offers a gentle, non-surgical way to visibly smooth these expression-related wrinkles and restore a fresh, relaxed appearance to the face. The treatment is quick, virtually painless, and requires no downtime—ideal for anyone who desires a naturally rejuvenated appearance.
How does Botox work?
Botulinum toxin is a well-tolerated active ingredient that specifically relaxes the activity of certain facial muscles. This reduces the muscle movements responsible for the formation of expression lines. The overlying skin can recover, existing wrinkles smooth out, and new ones form less quickly.
The effect begins after a few days and reaches its maximum after approximately 10 to 14 days. Depending on the treatment area and individual metabolism, the effect typically lasts 4 to 6 months. After that, the treatment can be repeated without any problems.
Who benefits from wrinkle treatment with Botox?
Treating expression lines with botulinum toxin is particularly suitable for people who have developed facial wrinkles due to their pronounced facial expressions and who desire a smoother complexion. These wrinkles typically appear in areas with strong muscle activity—for example, the forehead, eyes, or between the eyebrows. Some people are genetically predisposed to developing wrinkles earlier, which is why Botox treatment can be beneficial even at a younger age to prevent the formation of deep lines.
Botox targets muscles by relaxing them—but it doesn't replace lost volume. Wrinkles caused by volume loss due to the natural aging process are therefore more effectively treated with hyaluronic fillers. In many cases, a combination of both methods can optimize the desired result.
Which areas can be treated with Botox?
Botox is particularly suitable for the treatment of:
-
Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
-
Forehead wrinkles
-
Crow's feet (wrinkles on the sides of the eyes)
-
Bunny lines (fine lines at the root of the nose)
-
Corner of the mouth wrinkles or “marionette lines”
-
Chin or neck wrinkles (e.g., “cobblestone chin” or platysma bands)
-
Gummy Smile
-
excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis treatment, e.g. under the armpits)
-
The treatment is individually tailored to your facial muscles to achieve a fresh, natural-looking result – without rigid facial expressions or artificial expressions.
Procedure for wrinkle injections with Botox
Preparation
No special preparation is necessary for botulinum toxin wrinkle injections in Leipzig. However, it is recommended that you stop taking blood-thinning medications—such as aspirin—a few days before your appointment to reduce the risk of minor bruising. If you are unsure, Dr. Graß will be happy to help you find a suitable alternative.
The treatment
The actual procedure takes only a few minutes. First, the face is thoroughly cleansed, and an anesthetic cream is applied to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. Thanks to this preparation, the injections are usually barely noticeable. Dr. Graß then injects a very small dose of botulinum toxin specifically into the affected muscles. The effect begins within a few days and gradually leads to a visibly smoother appearance of the treated skin areas. If a more pronounced correction is desired, a repeat treatment after a few weeks may be advisable.
Aftercare
After the treatment you will be able to return to social activities and work immediately – special aftercare is usually not necessary .
What are the risks of Botox treatment?
Wrinkle treatment with botulinum toxin is considered a safe and well-tolerated procedure that, when used properly, generally does not cause complications. However, individuals with certain pre-existing neurological or muscular conditions should avoid treatment; a thorough medical evaluation is required beforehand.
Because the active ingredient doesn't remain in the body permanently, its effects are temporary and reversible. A professionally performed treatment won't alter your facial expressions unnaturally – provided it's performed by an experienced and qualified specialist. However, if Botox is injected improperly, it can occasionally lead to temporary muscle weakness or asymmetry.
Minor side effects such as swelling or small bruising at the injection sites are possible but harmless. These usually subside completely within a few days and can be alleviated by gentle cooling.
