The drug botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxic substance used medically and aesthetically, is injected to relax muscles, reduce wrinkles, and treat certain medical conditions such as chronic migraines and excessive sweating.

The treatment begins with the skin being cleansed and the injection points marked. Botulinum toxin is then injected with a small, thin needle into the specific muscles to be treated. The treatment usually only takes a few minutes.

The treatment is not permanent. The effects usually last between 3 to 6 months, after which the treatment can be repeated to maintain the results.

Muscle relaxant injection therapy is effective in reducing visible signs of aging by smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines. It can also be used medically to treat conditions such as chronic migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms, improving the quality of life for many people.

How often the treatment is repeated depends on the individual's response to the treatment. Typically, the treatment is performed every 3 to 6 months to maintain the desired result.

In clinical practice, different brands of botulinum toxin A show no significant difference in the duration of effect. Duration may vary from individual to individual, with some reports of subjective preferences for specific products.

Choose a qualified and experienced therapist. Inform about your health status and any medications. Discuss expectations and possible risks with your therapist. Follow aftercare instructions carefully.

To have injection treatment you must be over 18 years of age.

Treatment with botulinum toxin A is generally considered safe when used correctly by qualified healthcare professionals. Most side effects are mild and transient, such as bruising and swelling at the injection site. Serious side effects are rare and can be minimized by choosing an experienced practitioner.

Complications can occur due to incorrect dosage, injection in the wrong places, treatment performed by inexperienced personnel, when aftercare advice is not followed, or individual reactions that lead to unwanted side effects such as asymmetry, drooping eyelids, or unnatural facial expressions.

No, it is not recommended to have injection treatments while pregnant or breastfeeding. There is not enough research to show that it is safe for the fetus or breastfeeding baby.

The cost varies depending on the treatment area, the amount of product used and the competence of the practitioner. To see the prices at E´Peau, check the price list above.

Muscle relaxant injections are not traditionally used in the lips to create volume, but rather to reduce fine lines around the mouth and discreetly rotate the lip. The treatment, also known as a lip flip, gives the impression of fuller lips. The treatment contributes to a subtly improved appearance and a more harmonious smile.

Treatment in the chin relaxes tense muscles in the area, reducing the appearance of an "orange peel" texture and contributing to a more well-defined chin and jawline.

It is generally not recommended to undergo an injection treatment when you are sick, especially if you have an infection, fever, or a weakened immune system. Being sick can increase the risk of side effects and can also affect how well your body heals and responds to the treatment. It is best to wait until you are fully recovered before undergoing any aesthetic treatment.

The effect typically begins to wear off after about 3 to 4 months, with muscle activity gradually returning. To maintain the desired result, follow-up treatments are recommended before the effect has completely worn off. However, repeat treatment should not be performed until 12 weeks after the previous treatment.
