What is Facial Botox?

Facial Botox is the targeted application of Botulinum toxin, forming the basis of a successful rejuvenation treatment in most cases. With this approach, we can positively influence many signs of aging, resulting in a more relaxed, refreshed, and youthful appearance. Botulinum toxin is also used in the field of beautification. By timely and targeted application, the development of troublesome wrinkles can often be significantly delayed or prevented entirely.

Unsightly facial wrinkles can make us look older and more tired than we feel. These develop over years due to skin folding caused by facial muscle movements. Our facial expressions, the movements of our face, are mediated by a variety of muscles. Depending on the activity of these muscles, the skin loses its elasticity, leaving visible wrinkles even when the muscles are relaxed.

What is Botox or Botulinum?

Botox is a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which causes muscle paralysis by inhibiting acetylcholine synapses. In medicine, it is referred to as a "neuromodulator" because it blocks the transmission of signals from nerve cells to muscle cells. Botulinum can also successfully modulate the activation of gland cells. After its approval as a medication in pure synthetic form in 1970, its range of applications has continuously expanded. Initially, it was approved for correcting eye muscles in cases of strabism (application since 1980, approval for this indication in 1989). Since 1988, Botox has been widely used in neurology and aesthetic medicine. Remarkably, the application often preceded official approval for the corresponding indication by many years. Research on the correction of wrinkles began in 1988 and was quickly applied broadly. Official approval for this indication in Germany came in 2006. With over 40 years of experience and billions of treatments conducted worldwide, Botox is considered absolutely safe.
What can be achieved using Botox?

Botox is excellent for relaxing muscles. In aesthetic treatments, it is used where the activity of specific muscles results in undesirable wrinkles of the skin. By strategically relaxing the underlying muscles, the skin can be visibly smoothed. With skillful application, besides wrinkle treatment, other positive effects can be achieved. If the tension of a downward-pulling muscle is reduced, a slight lifting effect occurs. In addition to the classic applications for treating forehead and frown lines, the most common areas treated are the lateral eye wrinkles, known as "crow's feet." However, the targeted use of Botox goes far beyond these well-known applications. For example, a more beautiful arch of the eyebrows can be achieved, as well as lifting the corners of the mouth for a friendlier, more open face, or even better defining the jawline in the so-called "Nefertiti lift."

Even a natural "enlargement" of the lips can be achieved without the need for fillers like hyaluronic acid. The facial shape can also be positively influenced by the use of Botox, making the face appear slimmer.

Treatment Process

In a detailed consultation, I will first attempt to understand your desires and expectations. Then, a precise analysis of your facial proportions will follow, documented using our three-dimensional Vectra H2 system. This makes it much easier to discuss the available options to best meet your wishes.

The treatment itself takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the extent. By using the finest injection needles available on the market, the treatment is almost painless and generally leaves no traces. You can leave the practice immediately and resume your activities right away. You will start to notice the initial effects of the treatment after a few days, with the full effects taking about 10 days to set in. At a follow-up appointment after this period, we can assess your results and, if necessary, further optimize them. The results of a botulinum treatment typically last an average of 4 to 6 months and gradually fades during this time. The treatment can then be repeated. Regardless of whether you choose to be treated by me or a colleague, I always recommend entrusting yourself to the doctor you trust the most. During the first botulinum treatment with a new doctor, they need to assess the results based on their experience. In this area in particularly, it is very important that patient and practitioner "grow together”, as no immediate visible result can be assessed.

The optimal, personalized treatment will not be achieved in the first session. The better your doctor knows you and the effects of their treatment on you, the more targeted the subsequent treatments can be, and the happier you will be with your results.

Before the Treatment
Vor der Behandlung ist, wie bei jedem ärztlichen Eingriff Ihr schriftliches Einverständnis erforderlich, nachdem alle Fragen ausführlich geklärt wurden. Hierzu gehört auch, ob bei Ihnen vielleicht Umstände bestehen, die eine Botulinumbehandlung nicht zulassen. Dies wären z.B. eine Schwangerschaft oder bestimmte Nerven- oder Muskelerkrankungen. Bitte informieren Sie mich im persönlichen Gespräch.
Im Idealfall tragen Sie am Tag der Behandlung kein Makeup, andernfalls wird dieses in der Praxis entfernt, damit die Haut desinfiziert werden und Injektionen unter optimalen hygienischen Bedingungen durchgeführt werden können.


After the Treatment
After a botulinum treatment, it's advisable to avoid sunbathing, tanning beds, or sauna visits for 10 days. Also, strenuous activities that raise body temperature and metabolism should be avoided for about 2 days. To prevent unintended spreading of the substance, massages or pressure on the injection sites should be avoided.

Reviews
This is what our patients say on Jameda
"I had Botox and hyaluronic filler treatments with other doctors before, and I was looking for a new practice. I am very glad to have found Schumann Aesthetics. Mr. Schumann took a lot of time for a truly comprehensive consultation, explaining the risks and weighing which treatment would be best for me. He didn't try to convince me to do the maximum to charge as much as possible; instead, he tailored the treatment to me individually and immediately provided a very fair price. Mr. Schumann has a very pleasant, sympathetic manner, is highly professional and confident, takes his time, and listens. I had Botox and hyaluronic injections (pain-free) and am thrilled with the results. I had a very clear comparison through 3D images of my face before and after the treatment. I am absolutely delighted with this practice and will definitely come back."
"I was in the practice for the second time today and felt very well taken care of again. I received detailed advice, and all my questions were answered emphatically. I am (again) very, very satisfied with the results of the treatment."
"I am absolutely thrilled! 5 stars in all areas: reception, explanation, feasibility, sense & nonsense, premium products, hygiene, palpation, checking, verifying symmetry - and all (almost) painless or very tolerable. Not a single bruise on my face! The result: 10 years younger & fresher!"

Special Applications for Men

Also as a man, you can benefit from targeted botulinum applications. The expertise of the practitioner is of paramount importance in this regard. An application that provides wonderful aesthetics for women, such as a beautiful arch of the eyebrows, can quickly make men appear unnatural. We are aware of these differences and offer each patient an individually tailored treatment for the best possible personal result.
