Botox treatments
Wrinkle treatment with botulinum relaxes the muscles of the expression lines and thus reduces the formation of wrinkles in the short and long term. The body is given time to heal deep skin break lines formed over the years with natural regeneration.
In the medical field, botulinum is used to reduce facial expression wrinkles, which are a considerable psychological burden. In addition, there are numerous studies that speak for an antidepressant, migraine alleviating, mood-lifting effect.

Botulinum refers to a protein derived from nature, which today is used as a highly purified drug for the temporary, controlled relaxation of muscles in, among other things, aesthetics (wrinkle treatment), pain therapy (migraine, teeth grinding) and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
The former term botulinum "toxin" dates back to the days of discovery > 200 years ago, when this protein was found in 100,000-fold doses in rotten sausage (Latin botulus = sausage) and should no longer be used today. This quantity would be absolutely unattainable today in purified form for financial and logistical reasons alone.
Botox treatments are generally suitable for adults who have specific aesthetic concerns or medical conditions they wish to treat. Suitable candidates for Botox treatments are usually:
People with wrinkles: Botox can be effective in reducing expression lines on the face, such as frown lines, frown lines (glabellar lines) and crow's feet.
People with excessive sweating: Botox can also be used to treat excessive sweating, particularly under the armpits (hyperhidrosis).
People with muscle spasms or spasmodic disorders: Botox can be used to relieve muscle spasms and spasmodic conditions such as blepharospasm, cervical dystonia and spastic paralysis.
People with migraines: In some cases, Botox can be used to prevent chronic migraine attacks.
Healthy adults: Healthy adults who want to reduce wrinkles or prevent the appearance of wrinkles may also be candidates for Botox treatments.
It is important to note that filler treatments should be customized. A detailed consultation prior to treatment is therefore advisable to ensure that it is suitable for your specific needs
We only want happy and satisfied patients. Therefore, we will tell you openly and honestly whether this therapy meets your objectives or whether we consider an alternative therapy more suitable.

Botulinum is used in particular for the temporary reduction of moderate to severe wrinkles in the area between the eyebrows (frown lines), horizontal forehead wrinkles and the so-called crow's feet at the sides of the eyes, the extent of which can certainly represent a considerable psychological burden for adults. In addition, there are numerous studies that speak for an antidepressant, migraine alleviating, mood-lifting effect.
You are welcome to present yourself without make-up for a non-binding consultation during the consultation hours.
If facial expression lines in particular are to be smoothed, the appropriate dose is selected on the basis of musculature and the objective from the experience of the practitioner. Based on the individual muscle structure and course, treatment points are marked after disinfection and the botulinum is precisely introduced with barely visible needles. Occasionally, smallest bruises can occur, which may then be easily covered with make-up on the same evening.
Important! The effect starts only after 3-10 days, so the maximum muscle relaxation is achieved after 14 days.
In the first days no effect is visible and wrinkle smoothing occurs increasingly in the period between 2-8 weeks after treatment.
The body must be given some time to gently smooth out the skin stress lines that have formed.
If you have any questions about the process, we are always here for you.
Rules of conduct exist on numerous websites that have historically emerged since the days of botulinum discovery. Most of them have no scientific basis.
Our recommendations include:
- No pressure or manipulation of the sites for 4 hours to avoid spreading the botulinum to other lots
- Moderate sport is possible without problems after 4 hours
- Avoid 24 h sauna, intensive sun, solarium
- 48 h no treatments that get under the skin
(Microneedling, dental surgery/cleanings, tattoos, piercings, permanent makeup, sharp peels, laser treatments).
Botulinum is extremely well tolerated. Unlike most other drugs, ALL possible effects and side effects here are temporary.
Minor side effects include bruising as well as unintended treatment of neighboring muscles. The risk of bruising is strongly dependent on the treatment region.
We will be happy to advise you on the details of your desired treatment in an on-site educational consultation.
The durability of Botox treatments varies from person to person, but can generally last between 3 and 6 months. After a Botox injection, the effect usually starts to become visible within a few days to a week and reaches its peak after about 2 weeks. After that, the effect gradually diminishes as the botulinum is broken down by the body. Regular refresher treatments are required to maintain the results. The exact durability depends on various factors, including injection technique, dose and individual physiological differences.
How do botulinum vs. fillers differ ?
- Filler are substances that have a "filling" character. In recent years, hyaluronic acid has become established due to its high product safety, its tolerability as an endogenous substance and its precise controllability of results.
- Botulinum inhibits the activation of certain nerves on muscles and sweat glands. This also explains its effect. In the muscle area, it can be used to smooth out wrinkles caused by muscle movement or to reduce excessively strong muscles - such as the chewing muscle in patients who grind their teeth. The targeted inhibition of sweat glands is an excellent treatment for excessive sweating, e.g. in the armpits, hands and feet.
A major advantage of minimally invasive procedures is their ease of combination. The preparations we use for botulinum, hyaluron and thread lifting can be safely combined.
In particular, different regions can be treated at the same time. If the same region - such as the eye area - is to be treated with hyaluronic acid and botulinum, an interval of 2 weeks is recommended in most cases.

Dr. Conrad was recommended to me by my best friend because I have been suffering from acne scars on my cheeks for a long time. He took his time and screened my skin.
