Wrinkle Correction - Results

The primary goal of wrinkle injection with botulinumtoxin, e.g. by using Botox® is not the achievement of a mask-like face, but simply an increased reduction of certain dynamic wrinkles and the preservation of a natural and harmonious facial appearance. With professional execution, this is an absolutely achievable result using botulinum toxin A.¹³

The effects of botulinum toxin usually set in between 2 to 5 days after treatment; hence, it is most sensible to judge the true effects after this time period. Optimal results are first visible after approx. 6 weeks due to the fact that the skin needs this time to fully regenerate. A further effect of treatment is often smoother skin as well as a reduction in the secretion of sweat; however, you should not anticipate constriction of other nervous functions such as tactile sensitivity in the skin. Studies which span seven years show no signs of permanent muscle degeneration due to treatment with botulinum toxin, e.g. by the injection of Botox®.^14,15,16

Have your doctor explain your individual situation as well as the results you can expect. Also speak about possible risks.
