Botox® treatment for wrinkle reduction in Düsseldorf: Gentle beauty and a natural glow

Wrinkle-free and radiant with our Botox treatment

The art of plastic and aesthetic surgery gives people the opportunity to boost their self-confidence and improve their appearance. In this exciting world of aesthetic medicine, botulinum toxin A, better known as Botox, plays a prominent role in reducing wrinkles and rejuvenating the face and neck. In the statistics of recent years up to and including 2019, botulinum toxin A injections are undoubtedly at the top of the list of minimally invasive aesthetic procedures, and for good reason. Botox excels in wrinkle treatment as it effectively and non-invasively reduces wrinkles, rejuvenates the skin and preserves natural beauty without the need for surgery. As an experienced plastic and aesthetic surgeon from Düsseldorf, I am pleased to offer you a sound introduction to the amazing world of Botox® for wrinkle treatment.

Botulinum toxin - the secret behind our wrinkle reduction

The mode of action of botulinum toxin A is based on its ability to temporarily inhibit muscle activity in the injected areas. When Botox® is injected into a muscle group, it blocks the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is responsible for the transmission of nerve impulses. Without a nerve impulse, the muscle cannot contract. Many wrinkles, e.g. mimic wrinkles on the face, are caused by repeated muscle contractions over time. Botox reduces the intensity of these muscle movements, which leads to the skin over these muscles becoming more relaxed. As a result, the wrinkles can recede and the formation of new wrinkles can be slowed down. The effect of Botox® begins after approx. 3-5 days and usually lasts for 4-6 months. After a few months, the muscles begin to move normally again and repeated treatment is necessary to maintain the desired effect.

Wrinkle-free and fresh: Which areas can be treated?

The areas of application for Botox® treatment against wrinkles are wide-ranging and are customised to your individual wishes and needs. Prominent areas include mimic wrinkles such as forehead wrinkles, frown lines, crow's feet and glabellar lines. Other facial injection areas or indications include bunny lines, upper lip wrinkles, a gummy smile, marionette lines, nasolabial folds or even a strawberry chin. Neck wrinkles can also be treated with botulinum toxin A. The main focus here is on correcting neck lines or patysma bands. Somewhat newer trends are Barbie Botox, i.e. neck narrowing paired with Traptox, i.e. the injection of the trapezius muscle to achieve visually narrower shoulders, or calf narrowing with Botox®.

What contraindications does botulinum toxin A have?

Before we can start Botox® therapy on you, we must ensure that you do not fulfil any of these exclusion criteria. The absolute contraindications include

• Neuromuscular diseases such as myasthenia gravis, Eaton-Lambert syndrome or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
• Inflammation at the injection sites
• Proven hypersensitivity to one of the ingredients
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Coagulopathies (coagulation disorders) and the use of anticoagulants (anticoagulants) are regarded as relative contraindications. However, treatment can still be carried out in this case after appropriate counselling.

Gentle beauty with minimal risks: Your path to wrinkle reduction

Treatment with botulinum toxin A is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure carried out directly at our practice in Düsseldorf.
The treatment usually only takes a few minutes and requires no further downtime. The procedure is generally safe and without any major risks.
However, there are some side effects, such as pain, redness, haematoma or swelling in the area of the injection site, temporary unwanted muscle weakness or allergic reactions to the active ingredient, which can occur with the application. Asymmetry or an unsatisfactory aesthetic result are also possible, in which case a corrective injection is usually the solution. To avoid all complications and risks as far as possible, Dr Anna Luykanova will carry out a comprehensive consultation before the treatment and answer all your questions to ensure that you are well informed and comfortable.
