Wrinkle reduction with aesthetic medicine procedures. Ways to deal with mimic wrinkles.
Reduction of mimic wrinkles
Wrinkles are an inseparable element and consequence of the skin aging process. Due to the mechanism of their formation, wrinkles are divided into:
- Mimic wrinkles, i.e. those that are formed during natural facial expressions, e.g.
- lion’s wrinkle (wrinkle between the eyebrows)
- “crow’s feet” (wrinkles around the eyes)
- transverse forehead wrinkles
- “rabbit wrinkle” (wrinkles formed on the nose)
- Wrinkles around the mouth (including smoker’s wrinkles)
- Static wrinkles, i.e. those that have already become clearly fixed and those that arise regardless of facial expressions and are usually a consequence of skin laxity and tissue sagging, e.g.
- nasolabial folds – these are of mixed etiology (they extend from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth)
- “marionette lines” (wrinkles extending from the corner of the mouth downwards)
Mimic wrinkles in the initial stage we treat with botulinum toxin type A. Unfortunately, neglected expression wrinkles can become permanent – then botox alone may no longer be enough. To care for permanent expression wrinkles, you should not only use botulinum toxin injections, but also fill them with hyaluronic acid and often also consider the need for laser treatments. Botulinum toxin gives the best results when used in the prevention of wrinkle formation.
Botox – What is a botulinum treatment?
Before the procedure, the patient always receives consent to perform the procedure, which includes all information, including contraindications, indications, possible complications or orders after the procedure. The procedure using Botox does not require special preparation, apart from thorough disinfection of the skin.
The procedure is very short and is not very painful, so it does not require prior anesthesia. In people with high sensitivity to pain, it is possible to use creams containing an anesthetic. Then the doctor uses a thin needle to inject Botox intradermally in previously designated places. The number of injections and their locations depend on the area undergoing the procedure, the initial condition and the expected result.
The first results of the procedure usually appear between 3 and 7 days to 2 weeks. After this time, a medical check-up is usually recommended to assess the effect of the procedure and any corrections.
If the patient follows the recommendations, complications after botulinum toxin injection practically do not occur. Immediately after the procedure, redness of the skin at the injection sites may occur, but it disappears spontaneously.
These symptoms are usually no different from regular injections. Bruises may also appear after the procedure, as with any procedure in which a needle is used.
For 4 hours after the procedure, do not bend down or massage the places where the preparation was administered. Immediately after the procedure, it is not recommended to use procedures using radio waves, laser radiation and deep infrared, as well as saunas and solariums.
Failure to follow this recommendation may very likely shorten and weaken the effect of the procedure, as well as cause diffusion to the muscles that we did not want to paralyze and cause complications.
The result usually lasts from 2 to 4 months. However, thanks to regular repetition, this time is gradually extended.

Botulinum toxin is one of the strongest toxins found in nature. It is produced by appropriate strains of bacteria – Clostrdium Botulinum
There are 7 types.
In aesthetic medicine, type A toxin is mainly used, produced in pharmaceutical factories from specially isolated strains of bacteria.
There are several registered preparations on the official market.
The mechanism of action is based on blocking the secretion of acetylcholine in the synapse (neuromuscular junction). In this way, the so-called motor plates, which are responsible for conducting impulses, are turned off and the muscle is paralyzed.
The return of motor function in the muscles occurs as a result of the body producing new neuromuscular connections.
The length of the toxin’s action varies from patient to patient. It depends on the individual abilities of a given organism to recreate motor endings.
The times we provide are usually statistical averages – (2-6 months).
Only after getting to know a given patient and performing several treatments do we know what we can expect in terms of the length of action of the appropriate preparation in a specific person.
Wrinkles – shallow, regardless of their classification and origin can be filled with preparations containing hyaluronic acid. Medium-deep wrinkles are filled with the preparation. Sometimes when filling static wrinkles, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the genesis of their formation results from the loss of skin firmness.
For lifting treatments, improving the oval and contour of the face, we use preparations with a higher density.
In addition to filling with hyaluronic acid, complementary treatments are used, such as:
