The active ingredient botulinum toxin is best known under the synonym Botox, the brand name of a preparation for injection into the skin. Used correctly, it can minimize crow's feet, frown lines or thinker lines and make your face a few years younger.

Botulinum toxin has been used for over 30 years for specific muscle and nerve diseases in children and adults. However, Botox is more often used to prevent or treat expression lines. As a preventive measure, Botox can be injected into the facial skin at a young age so that muscle strands that lead to expression lines are inhibited and wrinkles do not form in the first place. Already existing wrinkles are smoothed by the muscle relaxation that Botox causes.

One of the most well-known side effects of Botox is the mask-like face, but this is almost impossible if used correctly and the necessary dose is calculated precisely. In some cases there are bruises at the injection site, very rarely headaches or red eyes occur, the eyelids may be weakened and therefore droop. In some cases, Botox can affect your mood.

The use of Botox is considered very safe. However, there are still no long-term studies for the active ingredient. To be on the safe side, we recommend that you take out beautyprotect. If follow-up treatments are necessary after your Botox application, we will cover the costs.

The Botox application is not a surgical procedure, so the effects or “strain” on your body are relatively minor. However, because a specific active ingredient is injected, it is important that you tolerate it well and that it does not interact with other medications you are taking.
