Botulinum toxin is a natural purified protein that causes relaxation of the muscles responsible for wrinkle formation appearing during the aging process. The preparation causes relaxation of facial muscles thus allowing patients to attain natural appearance.

At Medical Margaret Spa doctors work only with use of highest quality original botulinum toxin preparations by world-renown companies.

- ALLERGAN: BOTOX

- GALDERMA: AZZALURE

- MERZ AESTHETICS: BOCOUTURE

A small amount of the preparation is injected into specified facial muscles where later nervous impulses causing the muscles to cramp are hindered. Since the muscles are relaxed, wrinkles simply do not form in the area.

The procedure itself takes 10 minutes and most people can resume their usual duties immediately after the injection.

It is important that botulinum toxin be applied by an experienced doctor who is sure how much preparation to apply and where it should be applied. Only precise and professional application will ensure natural appearance.

Botulinum toxin has a very good safety profile. The preparation has been used in esthetic medicine for over ten years and in neurology and ophthalmology – for over twenty years. There are numerous publications pertaining to its effectiveness and safety. Side effects, if they do occur, are usually benign or mild and most often reversible. It is good to remember that by choosing an experienced doctor we minimize the risk of side effects. The medication is used even in two year old children suffering from cerebral palsy.

Within a few days after the procedure lack of formation of mimic wrinkles should be visible. The effects can last for up to six months. However, one needs to remember that this period is different for every patient. With following procedures the period might be prolonged. One should not undergo the procedure more often than three times a year.
