Facial expressions give each person their own individual charisma. However, if facial expressions are very pronounced, the skin can develop wrinkles due to the constant strain. Such expression lines are often initially only visible during movement. If they dig deeper into the skin, at some point they will no longer disappear even at rest.
Expression lines include, for example, frown lines, laugh lines or crow's feet, nose wrinkles and mouth wrinkles. The so-called thinker's forehead is also caused by excessive facial expressions. If the wrinkles no longer disappear on their own and the facial features appear very furrowed and grim, we can restore youthful freshness with Botox in Stuttgart.
During Botox treatment in Stuttgart, we achieve lasting relaxation of the mimic muscles. Botulinum toxin is a muscle relaxant, i.e. a substance that temporarily reduces the activity of individual muscles. As a result, the wrinkles caused by facial expressions are gradually smoothed out.
Are you interested in wrinkle correction with Botox in Stuttgart? Then arrange a non-binding consultation now. In a personal consultation, you will find out all the details about the treatment and how to gently and permanently remove unwanted wrinkles.
What is Botox?
Botulinum toxin, also known as Botox, is a metabolic product of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. In aesthetic medicine, it is mainly used to prevent and treat wrinkles.
How does Botox work?
Botulinum toxin acts on the transmission of stimuli between nerves and muscles. A targeted injection into the muscle responsible for the wrinkles temporarily reduces muscle activity. The muscle relaxes and facial expressions are reduced. In this way, wrinkles caused by facial expressions can be removed or at least visibly reduced. After a few months, the body breaks down the botulinum toxin on its own.
Which wrinkles can be treated with Botox?
Botulinum toxin is used to treat mimic wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movements. These include frown lines (glabellar lines) between the eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, laugh lines and crow's feet around the eyes. Botox relaxes the facial muscles in these areas, smoothing the skin and reducing wrinkles.
How does wrinkle correction with Botox work in Stuttgart?
Before your Botox treatment in Stuttgart, we invite you to a personal consultation. Dr. Schumacher will discuss your expectations of the treatment and what is currently bothering you the most. He will then plan your wrinkle treatment in Stuttgart individually for you.
Treatment with Botox in Stuttgart takes around 10 - 30 minutes. After the treatment areas have been cleaned and superficially anaesthetized, Dr. Schumacher injects the botulinum toxin directly into the muscle whose activity is to be reduced. This procedure is painless and leaves no permanent marks.
After treatment in our practice in Stuttgart, you can return directly to work or your private life. You should take it easy physically for 1 - 2 days and cool the treatment areas as required. In the first few hours after treatment, you should keep your head as upright as possible and not lie down. Apart from this, however, you are not restricted any further.
What side effects can occur with Botox injections?
Botulinum toxin is a well-tolerated active ingredient that has been used for medical purposes for a very long time. Accordingly, Botox treatment is considered to be very safe when carried out professionally.
Dr. Schumacher has been performing wrinkle corrections with Botox for many years. As a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery, he is also very familiar with facial anatomy.
We use very low doses of Botox in Stuttgart, which prevents an unnatural or mask-like appearance. The effect is also temporary. There is no permanent change.
Swelling, redness or bruising may occur briefly after Botox treatment. However, such side effects should subside after a short time.
How much does a Botox treatment cost in Stuttgart?
Every treatment in our practice, including a Botox treatment, is planned individually. We are therefore unable to quote a fixed price for wrinkle treatment with Botox. We will be happy to provide you with a transparent cost calculation for your Botox treatment in Stuttgart during a consultation at.
Frequently asked questions about Botox treatment in Stuttgart
After we have injected the Botox in Stuttgart, it takes around 2 - 4 days for the effect to become visible in the skin. After around 14 days, the Botox will have taken full effect and we can assess the results of the treatment.
The effect of Botox is limited in time, as the active ingredient is gradually broken down by the body. The average shelf life is around 4 - 6 months. The Botox can then be injected again in Stuttgart to maintain the result permanently.
Depending on the desired result, we use Botox or hyaluronic acid for wrinkle correction in Stuttgart. A combined treatment is also possible. Both active ingredients have a different mode of action and are therefore used against different types of wrinkles.
Hyaluron is a classic volumizing filler. It compensates for age-related volume loss and creates new volume in areas where the skin has sagged or sunk.
Botox does not create volume, but reduces the activity of the facial muscles. If wrinkles are caused by excessive facial expressions, we can relax them with targeted Botox injections in Stuttgart. As a result, wrinkles caused by facial expressions are also smoothed out.
