Botox – Relieving tension in the chewing and facial muscles

Botox treatment is recommended once expression lines (dynamic wrinkles) have permanently etched themselves into the skin and become static wrinkles—meaning they remain visible even when the face is at rest. When Botox (BTX) is applied strategically, it temporarily relaxes the overactive muscles, allowing lines and wrinkles to smooth out. When administered properly, the result looks natural and fresh, not “frozen.” Additionally, skin quality can improve, and fine pores appear refined. A personalized consultation is essential to determine the optimal timing and appropriate dosage.

Botox (botulinum toxin) is a medication that acts at the neuromuscular junction by blocking the transmission of signals between nerves and muscles. This temporarily reduces muscle activity, leading to muscle relaxation and the smoothing of expression lines.

Non. L'effet se manifeste progressivement : les premiers résultats apparaissent au bout de 3 à 5 jours environ, et l'effet complet au bout de 10 à 14 jours. Le Dr Jilek a consacré plus de 15 ans à la mise au point de l'approche KFO360°, qui ne se limite pas à l'alignement des dents, mais prend en compte l'ensemble du système fonctionnel de la mâchoire, des muscles et des articulations.

The effects generally last between 3 and 6 months. After this period, the treatment can be repeated if necessary.

Yes. When administered properly by qualified physicians, Botox is a safe medication with a long track record of success. It is used worldwide in both aesthetic and medical treatments. During a personal, one-on-one consultation, we will explain the risks involved in detail.

Mild redness, swelling, and bruising may occur around the injection sites, but these usually subside after a few days. Headaches and fatigue may occur in the first few days.
In rare cases, excessive relaxation of muscle groups may occur, which can lead to a drooping eyelid, watery eyes, or a crooked corner of the mouth. This effect subsides over time.
Very rarely, problems with swallowing, speaking, or breathing, muscle weakness, or visual disturbances (double vision) may occur. The risk is significantly increased if there is an undiagnosed neurological condition.

For example, Botox should not be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, in cases of infection, or with certain neurological conditions. Before treatment, we will assess whether there are any reasons why Botox treatment is not suitable for you.

For forehead and eye wrinkles, Botox is often sufficient to visibly smooth the skin. For other muscle groups, however, it is important to identify the cause of the muscle tension. This is where our holistic approach to diagnosis and treatment comes into play—which is why it makes sense to seek treatment at a clinic that offers more than just purely aesthetic Botox treatments.

We use ultra-fine needles—the thinnest currently available on the market. Since the treatment is very brief, patients report, if anything, only a brief, slight prick at each injection site. You may feel a slight sensation of pressure during the injection.

Immediately after treatment, strenuous physical activity, saunas, and massages of the treated areas should be avoided for about 24 hours. The upper body should be kept upright for the first 4 hours after treatment.

No. The body does not become dependent on Botox. The effects wear off completely after a few months.

Medical Botox treatments may be covered by private health insurance and supplemental insurance plans, depending on the specific policy. Cosmetic treatments are generally out-of-pocket expenses.
