What is a muscle relaxant and how does it work?
Botulinum toxin, also known as a muscle relaxant, is a processed protein that is used to relax the overlying skin by targeting the muscles. This relaxing effect leads to wrinkles and fine lines being visibly smoothed out. The principle is based on the temporary inhibition of muscular contraction, particularly in the case of dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions.
Our aesthetics consultation is available to provide you with comprehensive advice and to jointly develop the right treatment strategy for your individual needs.
Causes for the formation of wrinkles
The appearance of wrinkles in your 20s is a natural part of the skin’s ageing process. During this phase of life, the effects of facial muscles and other environmental factors on the skin begin to become apparent. The repeated movement of the facial muscles when laughing, frowning or making other facial expressions leads to fine lines and wrinkles, which are usually superficial at first.
Over time, these initially subtle wrinkles can deepen as they are exacerbated by various processes such as the breakdown of collagen and elastin, natural moisture loss and the influence of external factors such as sun exposure. The skin loses elasticity and firmness, which contributes to wrinkles digging further into the skin.
The causes of wrinkles are
- normal ageing process
- Sun exposure or UV rays
- Nicotine
- Genetic predisposition

Can botulinum toxin help with all types of wrinkles?
The use of muscle relaxants, in particular botulinum toxin, in wrinkle treatment opens up a wide range of possibilities to effectively reduce dynamic wrinkles. Our focus is on various preparations that are used for specific indications. During a personal consultation, we discuss the needs of our patients in detail and explain which treatments are most suitable.
We use muscle relaxants successfully for various indications, including
- Horizontal forehead wrinkles (worry lines): Botulinum toxin is particularly effective in smoothing horizontal forehead wrinkles, also known as worry lines.
- Brow lifting (1-2mm): Targeted application provides a more subtle lift to the brows, resulting in a fresher look.
- Frown lines: Muscle relaxant can be used specifically to treat the vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows known as frown lines.
- Smile lines (crow’s feet): Fine lines around the eyes can be effectively smoothed by a precise injection of muscle relaxant.
- Wrinkles on the nose (bunny lines): The treatment of fine wrinkles on the nose is carried out using a customized approach.
- Lip wrinkles (perioral wrinkles): Muscle relaxant shows positive results in reducing lip wrinkles around the mouth.
- Chin crease (between the lower lip and the tip of the chin): Targeted applications can help to smooth out the so-called chin crease.
- Neck: Applying muscle relaxant to the neck can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
We also offer treatments for specific medical concerns:
- Axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating): Muscle relaxant injections have proven to be an effective solution for excessive sweating and are covered by many private health insurers.
- Teeth grinding (bruxism): Muscle relaxants can target the muscles responsible to relieve discomfort and protect tooth enamel.
- Chronic migraine: The use of muscle relaxants offers an approved treatment option for patients with chronic migraine, whereby the duration of action of around 4 months promises a long-lasting effect and is often covered by private health insurance.

How long do the results last after treatment with botulinum toxin?
The results may vary from person to person, but the treatment can generally be expected to last for around 3-6 months. Repeated treatments are recommended to maintain the effect in the long term. In the first year after the initial treatment, we recommend regular refresher treatments at intervals of 3 to 4 months. From the second year onwards, it is possible to extend the intervals depending on the patient’s needs and individual wishes.
This flexible approach makes it possible to optimally adapt the wrinkle treatment to personal needs. The decision on the frequency of refreshments should always be made on the basis of a personal consultation and in accordance with the patient’s individual goals and expectations.
