The Most Popular Cosmetic Procedure in Every Season – Botulinum Toxin Injections

The popularity of botulinum toxin injections is discussed by Ludmila Stavro–Freiberga, head of the beauty clinic «Panacea Premium»  .

“I do not have precise information on whether this procedure is in demand at other clinics in Latvia as well, but I can confirm that at our clinic, «Panacea Premium», botulinum toxin injections are in record-high demand, and they hold a leading position both in online search queries and among applications submitted to the clinic.

On the one hand, botulinum toxin injections are the most controversial procedure—various myths, fears and inaccurate information are associated with them. On the other hand, they are the fastest solution for combating facial expression wrinkles of varying severity, and much more.

The effects of botulinum toxin injections do not appear immediately, but over the course of two weeks. From “smoker’s lines” to “Bugs Bunny lines”

Usually, our body’s response to botulinum toxin injections becomes apparent within two weeks—the muscles relax and the wrinkles disappear.

The main indications for botulinum toxin are wrinkles in the upper third of the face, forehead wrinkles, horizontal forehead lines, glabellar lines, wrinkles around the nose, wrinkles around the eyes, also known as “crow’s feet”, “Bugs Bunny lines”, and perioral lines—wrinkles around the mouth (these are also called “smoker’s lines”, although in reality they are not related to smoking; simply, as people age, they more often purse their lips tightly, for example, due to discomfort, which can result in horizontal lines above the upper lip or below the lower lip).

From a third breast size to sweating—botulinum toxin injections have considerably more actual indications than we think

Botulinum toxin injections can quickly and beautifully lift the corners of the mouth. They can also address the problem of a “gummy smile”—an excellent solution when too much of the gums above the upper teeth are exposed when smiling.

Botulinum toxin can also help with contouring the oval of the face, tension in the neck area, the aesthetics of the lower third of the face, and combating wrinkles in the décolleté area—especially vertical wrinkles in women with a third breast size or larger. 

Botulinum toxin is also highly effective in cases of excessive sweating. In general, sweating is a normal function of the human body. However, pathological sweating also occurs, when a person constantly has damp, sweaty underarms. This is highly problematic for people who appear in public, as they constantly have to think about choosing suitable clothing.

“We wish you health and beauty all year round!” Ludmila Stavro–Freiberga concludes her story.

“And there is no need to be afraid of botulinum toxin injections—everything will be fine if you are in the hands of experienced, certified specialists!”
