The effectiveness of botulinum toxin is based on its ability to block nerve impulses to the muscles, weakening muscle activity. The effects typically begin within 3–10 days of treatment and usually last for 3–6 months, after which the effect fades, and the condition returns to its original state.
At SF-Cliniken, Botox treatments are always personalized, with the appropriate dosage selected for each client to achieve the best possible result. If additional treatment is needed after the initial session, it can be done free of charge within 2–4 weeks.
Botulinum toxin is a muscle-relaxing medication that smooths wrinkles and skin. It works by affecting the nerve impulses of facial muscles, relaxing them and preventing muscle contraction, but only in the treated area. The medication does not affect skin sensitivity, for example.
In aesthetic treatments, botulinum toxin is used for wrinkles on the forehead, the "Sibelius wrinkle" between the eyebrows, crow's feet around the eyes, brow lifting, corner of the mouth lifting, and smoothing wrinkles above the lips.
Medically, botulinum toxin can be used for conditions like excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). Teeth grinding (bruxism) is also an indication for treatments we perform. Treating the masseter muscle can also slightly narrow the lower face if the jawline muscles are already strong.
The results of the treatment are visible about 2–5 days after the injection. The effect is always temporary and typically lasts for about 3–6 months. The treatment can also be combined with facials, dermal fillers, or mesotherapy for even better results.
If you have multiple allergies to medications, we do not perform botulinum toxin treatments. We also do not provide botulinum toxin treatments for pregnant individuals.
