There are many misconceptions surrounding botulinum toxin, but when administered by an experienced doctor, it becomes a true medical miracle.
Botulinum toxin works by treating muscle hyperactivity that causes excessive skin folding, which results in the formation of wrinkles. It does not freeze facial expressions — it merely relaxes the muscle enough to prevent over-contraction and wrinkle formation.
Chief Physician Dr. Synková is a top expert in working with this molecule and can use it to remove wrinkles, eliminate excessive sweating, or even relieve chronic migraines.
What is botulinum toxin used for?
Wrinkle reduction
Botulinum toxin is injected with fine needles into facial muscles, most commonly around the eyes, between the eyebrows, and on the forehead. It works by blocking nerve transmission in the treated area, preventing the muscle from contracting. The skin becomes smoother, and wrinkles are visibly reduced. The treatment takes only a few minutes, and the first results appear within 2–5 days.
The optimal effect occurs after about two weeks. After treatment, the skin may be slightly red or swollen, but this subsides within a few hours. Immediately after the procedure, patients should avoid bending forward or lying down. For about two days after the injection, avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, saunas, and intense exercise. Otherwise, you can resume your normal activities right away.
The effects of botulinum toxin last for 3 to 6 months, after which muscle function gradually returns, and the procedure needs to be repeated. The intervals between treatments gradually increase, and over time, patients often lose unwanted facial habits — such as frowning — that can make them appear stern. With repeated applications, the results last longer.
Excessive sweating reduction
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can be very unpleasant. The most commonly affected areas are the armpits, palms, and soles of the feet. When regular deodorants or antiperspirants are not effective, botulinum toxin injections provide a highly effective solution. The treatment involves injecting small amounts into the affected area, blocking nerve signals to the sweat glands, and thus preventing sweat production.
The procedure is almost painless, and after application, sweating is significantly reduced or completely eliminated. The effect lasts approximately 9–12 months or longer, and with repeated treatments, the results are extended.
Details about the procedure
The treatment takes approximately 30 minutes, during which Dr. Synková injects botulinum toxin into the necessary areas. The procedure is performed without anesthesia, as maintaining facial expression is important during the treatment.
Smoothing of forehead wrinkles, correction of facial asymmetry after a stroke, relief from migraines, and reduction of sweating in the underarms and palms.
No special preparation is required.
For 4–7 hours after the procedure, the head must remain upright — do not bend forward. You may feel slight pressure in the treated area or a sensation of “drooping eyebrows.” This is completely normal — it simply means the botulinum toxin is beginning to take effect, and it’s only a temporary subjective feeling, so there is no need to worry.
The full effect of botulinum toxin appears after about 4 days.
The price depends on the amount of botulinum toxin used by the doctor in a given area. It starts at 2,000 CZK for the corners of the mouth and can reach up to 15,000 CZK for the treatment of excessive sweating.
There is never a bad time to remove wrinkles. However, for sweat reduction, the procedure is best done before the start of summer.
For very deep wrinkles, botulinum toxin is combined with hyaluronic acid.

Botulinum toxin
Botulinum toxin is often surrounded by many prejudices — which is understandable, as is the case with anything where opinions and assumptions replace facts due to insufficient information or complete ignorance.
People often fear botulinum toxin because it is a well-known and highly effective substance naturally produced by bacteria. It affects the nervous system and, in the case of accidental ingestion or unprofessional use, can be dangerous.
However, in the hands of a professional specialist, this strong property of botulinum toxin can be used purposefully and constructively.
Precisely because botulinum toxin can temporarily block nerve signals, it can be used in targeted, localized treatments to relax facial muscles — effectively smoothing wrinkles. It is also used to treat more serious conditions such as motor disorders, after severe brain injuries, strokes, cerebral palsy, or chronic migraines.
In the hands of experts, botulinum toxin can be considered a true medical miracle — with a strong emphasis on safety and natural results.
In the wrong hands, or when people “experiment” with its power, unwanted effects can easily occur. But in the hands of professionals who know what they are doing, the effects of this revolutionary discovery can be harnessed to bring significant, practical benefits — forming the foundation of modern aesthetic medicine.
