Cosmetic Botulinum Toxin Injections (Botox)

Botulinum toxin injections are one of the most commonly used methods for reducing expression lines and relaxing the upper face.
They help smooth out forehead wrinkles, “frown lines” or glabellar lines, fine lines around the eyes (“crow’s feet”), and reduce excessive muscle tension while preserving natural facial expressions.

The effect is temporary but long-lasting —typically 3 to 6 months, with a gradual decline in effectiveness.

"Full Face" technique

Botulinum toxin therapy, performed by Dr Lynova, focuses on relaxing overactive "depressor" muscles - these are the muscles that pull the cheeks down. By releasing this tension, we achieve a natural, synergistic lifting effect and a fresher, more open facial expression.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

In what situations is botulinum toxin used?

To reduce expression lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes, as well as to alleviate excessive muscle tension (e.g., a “tight” forehead, the habit of furrowing the eyebrows).

Will my face look like a “mask” after the procedure?

When administered in the correct doses, cosmetic injections do not make the face stiff —the goal is to soften facial expressions, not to completely block them. The end result is a naturally relaxed face, not a “frozen” one.

How quickly can the effect be seen?

The first changes usually appear after 2–4 days; the full effect is seen in about Days 7–14 .

How long does the result last?

On average, 3–6 months. After several regular treatments, the effect may last longer for some patients.

Are the injections painful?

The sensation is comparable to a brief prick; most patients describe the procedure as minimally uncomfortable. A numbing cream is used if necessary.

Is recovery necessary?

No, you can resume your daily activities right away, as long as you follow your doctor’s instructions regarding head position and physical activity during the first few hours.

What are the possible side effects?

Minor bruising, swelling, mild headaches, or a sensation of heaviness in the treated area. Rarely—asymmetry or an excessively strong effect, which can usually be corrected during a follow-up visit.

Who should not receive botulinum toxin injections?

  • For pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding.

  • Patients with severe neuromuscular disorders (e.g., myasthenia gravis, etc.).

  • In cases of severe allergic reactions to botulinum toxin products or the components of the injection.
    In all such cases, the decision is made by a physician following an individual assessment.

Can botulinum toxin be combined with other procedures?
