In medicine, botox has been used for almost 40 years in the treatment of spastic disorders in neurology. And in plastic surgery – for more than 30 years for the removal of wrinkles. It is effective in the hands of experienced doctors specialized in wrinkle removal, and the procedure is quick. All of this makes this treatment one of the most efficient and popular in the world.
Botox, or Botulinum toxin A, is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacteria.
There are precise indications for the use of botox treatments. In accordance with this, the specialist doctor determines whether botox is the optimal procedure for mitigating wrinkles or if some of the following procedures will be applied:

When botox is injected in small doses by an educated doctor into specific muscles, it prevents their excessive contraction. In this way, the formation of wrinkles is prevented where they are usually most pronounced, and existing ones are also alleviated. It is most commonly used in patients between 30 and 70 years of age.
Botox is recommended for the elimination of wrinkles in the forehead region and around the eyes, as well as for discreetly and subtly erasing signs of aging or as a prevention in stopping the formation of new wrinkles.
During the treatment, botox is applied in very small amounts to certain regions, thereby blocking the action of muscles that, by enhancing facial expressions, participate in the creation of wrinkles. The procedure at the Diva Clinic is performed by educated specialist doctors with decades of experience.
Botox relaxes the muscles in the treated area, thereby alleviating existing wrinkles and preventing the formation of new ones.
Botox is most commonly used to alleviate wrinkles in the forehead region, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes.
Since 1980, doctors have been using botox in the treatment of muscle disorders in neurology and ophthalmology, while it was approved for wrinkle removal treatments and hyperhidrosis treatment in 1987.
So besides aesthetic medicine, the botulinum neuromodulator has also been used for over 20 years for the treatment of excessive sweating – hyperhidrosis, in the armpit, palm, and sole areas.
The persistent ones, as muscle movements on the face create wrinkles in the skin. And since botox works by preventing excessive muscle contractions, it is precisely the deep-set wrinkles that can be alleviated with botox.
Patient experiences, when it comes to botox treatment, are excellent, making this one of the frequently used treatments because it delivers results when needed: to prevent the formation of deep wrinkles, to remove wrinkles around the eyes, to correct asymmetry of eyebrows or eyelids, to remove vertical furrows and wrinkles on the forehead, to alleviate wrinkles at the root of the nose, to remove wrinkles and furrows between the eyebrows.
The procedure is effective in treating hyperhidrosis – excessive sweating of the armpits, soles, and palms, as its effect after this procedure lasts about 9 months, depending on the state of the organism, hormonal status, genetics, and lifestyle of each individual.
Botox should be injected by an experienced specialist doctor.
Botox cannot correct or alleviate all wrinkles on the face, so it does not remove:
In consultations, they will first consider other procedures that can deliver results when it comes to wrinkle removal. If it is not possible to achieve this with them, on the recommendation of the doctor, botox is used in cases when patients:
It is a relatively safe procedure, but provided that Botox is injected by an experienced specialist doctor and when a certified and proven preparation is used (but there are deviations in effects depending on the state of the organism, hormonal status, genetics, and lifestyle of each individual).
It shouldn’t. Botox treatment has significantly improved in recent years. Before the treatment, patients still often ask us if their face will be “frozen”, and after the treatment, they only state that their facial expression is natural.
There are two effects of botox treatment: It leads to skin tightening, alleviates deep wrinkles, and gives a youthful face while preserving a natural appearance. In addition, the treated muscles unlearn excessive activity, which further prevents the formation of new wrinkles.
Men very rarely talk about anti-aging procedures they undergo, and thus about botox. However, they invest in their appearance almost as much as women. After actors joined anti-aging trends, they were quickly followed by athletes, businessmen, and politicians.
Research shows that the number of men who entrust themselves to the hands of experts for one of the aesthetic procedures is increasing on a daily basis. One of them is botox. They often combine it with hyaluronic fillers.
This is because botox is used to remove wrinkles and prevent the formation of new ones in the upper part of the face. And hyaluronic acid alleviates them in the lower part. That’s why more and more men are opting for botox treatment.
From our very long and rich experience in working with patients, we highlight several important things that need to be researched and done before making a decision to undergo this treatment:
There are two effects of botox treatment:
Advice from a specialist doctor of aesthetic surgery and leader of the expert team at Diva clinic, Dr. Svetlana Bogdanovic, regarding wrinkle removal with botox.
In our clinic, only specialist doctors (9 doctors) work, led by Dr. Svetlana Bogdanovic, an aesthetic surgeon, who have over 25 years of experience.
First, the doctor performs an examination and then makes a decision whether Botox is the appropriate procedure for alleviating wrinkles, and if not, suggests an adequate method.
During the treatment, botox is applied in very small amounts to the appropriate regions to relax the work of muscles involved in the formation of expression wrinkles. It is injected with extremely thin needles, so the procedure is comfortable, which depends on the hormonal status and genetics of each individual.
The treatment itself is short, about ten minutes.
The doctor’s recommendation is to rest for a few hours after the treatment, after which it is possible to continue with the daily life routine.
The use of swimming pools, saunas, sunbathing, and exercise is not recommended in the first 2 days after treatment.
At the “Diva” clinic, botox treatment is performed exclusively by specialist doctors in aesthetic surgery and dermatology.
It is common for the effect of botox to start being noticed after 3 days, while the full effect is expected after 2 weeks, which depends on the state of the body, hormonal status, genetics, and lifestyle of each individual.
The results of botox usually last about 4 months (which depends on the type of skin, age, and health condition of the patient). The treatment can be repeated 3 times a year, with prior consultation with a doctor.
Experts in the field of medicine agree that this procedure can be started at the indication of the appearance of the first expression of wrinkles. In this way, the formation of the first deep wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes – crow’s feet, is prevented, and the appearance of signs of aging is slowed down. That is, it can serve as prevention.
When botox is started in the thirties, it usually serves to maintain a youthful appearance.
If this procedure is started in the forties, its role is usually to remove wrinkles and delay the formation of new ones.
Patients often ask us if there are downsides to botox, if there can be complications, and if they should pay special attention to anything after its application?
Given that the skin’s reaction to any treatment varies from patient to patient and not everyone reacts the same, there is a possibility of reactions after this treatment.
Rare (occurring in less than 1% of patients), but possible side effects are:
All of the above are normal and harmless accompanying phenomena that usually last a short time and disappear very quickly, depending on genetics and lifestyle.
Botox is usually a comfortable procedure if certified preparations are used by an educated and expert specialist doctor.
However, there are absolute contraindications for botox application. Botox should not be applied:
The price of botox at the Diva clinic depends on the region being treated:
There are many misconceptions about botox, so it is not surprising that there are many questions regarding this procedure. Therefore, the specialist doctors of the Diva clinic are here to answer them.
It is true that botox reduces muscle activity to prevent excessive contraction, but when the procedure is performed by an experienced specialist doctor who determines the appropriate dose, the natural facial expression is retained.
It is not recommended to apply cream and makeup 24 hours after the procedure. Normal washing is recommended and avoiding pressure on the regions where Botox was injected.
It is not recommended to lie down and bend the head forward for 4 hours after the procedure.
Yes, by any means of transport, even by plane. The only reason the specialist doctors at the Diva clinic do not recommend traveling before botox starts to work is so that they can perform a control examination in the following days.
NOTE:
Whether this procedure is the right choice for a certain skin type and condition will be assessed by a specialist doctor during free consultations, and will suggest an appropriate procedure accordingly. The number of treatments needed is individual and depends on several factors.
The results of the procedure can vary from patient to patient, and this is influenced by several factors including genetics and each individual’s lifestyle.
