Botulinum toxin treatment
Crow’s feet
Small lines around the eyes often appear when laughing or squinting.
Targeted treatment can make the skin around the eyes look calmer and fresher without losing natural expression.
Duration
Treatment usually takes 30 minutes.
Effect
Starts after a few days and develops fully after about 14 days.
Price
from €199
How does the treatment work?
Before every treatment, there is a detailed medical consultation and analysis of your facial expression as well as the affected muscle areas.
The treatment itself usually takes about 30 minutes and is performed as an outpatient procedure in our practice in Berlin-Mitte.
The botulinum toxin is injected into the relevant muscle groups with very fine needles. The treatment is usually well tolerated and generally requires no downtime.
When does the effect start?
The effect usually begins after a few days and develops fully after about 14 days.
How long the effect lasts varies individually and depends, among other things, on metabolism, muscle activity and the treated region.
What should I keep in mind after treatment?
Immediately after treatment, intensive physical activity, sauna, solarium or strong pressure massage in the treated area should be avoided for several hours.
In everyday life, you are usually socially presentable again immediately.
What does botulinum toxin treatment cost?
Costs start from €199, depending on treatment area, muscle activity and individual effort.
During a personal consultation, we transparently discuss the expected costs and the suitable treatment concept.
Individual aesthetic medicine instead of standard protocols
Every face is different. That is why we develop individual treatment concepts at Praxis Jona instead of standardized “one-size-fits-all” treatments.
Our approach combines aesthetic medicine with anatomical understanding, modern diagnostics and a natural view of aesthetics and skin aging.
Frequently asked questions about botulinum toxin treatment
At what age does treatment make sense?
This depends less on age than on skin quality, facial expression and individual muscle activity. In some people, expression lines appear early, while others consider treatment later.
Will I look unnatural after treatment?
Our goal is natural results with preserved facial expression. Treatment is adapted individually to anatomy, muscle activity and facial expression.
How long does the effect of botulinum toxin last?
The effect usually lasts about 3 to 4 months. Duration and intensity can vary individually.
When should I wait before exercising after treatment?
Intensive physical activity, sauna or solarium should be avoided for 24 hours after treatment.
Is the treatment painful?
Treatment is performed with very fine needles and is usually well tolerated. Most patients experience the injections only as a brief, light pinch. For sensitive areas or on request, a local anesthetic cream can be applied before treatment.
Can botulinum toxin be used preventively?
Yes. In selected cases, early treatment can help reduce deep expression lines over the long term and make the skin appear more even.
What is the difference between botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid?
Botulinum toxin selectively relaxes specific muscles and thereby reduces expression lines. Hyaluronic acid is mainly used for volume restoration or supporting skin hydration.
How often does treatment need to be repeated?
Treatment is usually repeated every 3 to 6 months, depending on muscle activity, metabolism and desired result.
Can I work or go out directly after treatment?
Yes. In general, you are socially presentable again directly after treatment.
Are there side effects?
Temporary mild redness, small swellings or rarely small bruises at the injection sites can occur. Serious side effects are rare when treatment is performed professionally.
Is treatment individually adapted?
Yes. Every treatment is based on anatomy, muscle activity, skin quality and personal goals. In the practice, we do not work with standardized “unit schemes”.
Can botulinum toxin be combined with other treatments?
Yes. We often combine botulinum toxin with regenerative procedures such as PRP, medical microneedling, skin boosters or polynucleotides to additionally support skin quality, skin texture and natural results.
Combinations of botulinum toxin and medical microneedling can also be useful because different levels of skin aging and muscle activity are treated.
Which combination is suitable depends on skin findings, anatomy, symptoms and individual goals and is decided individually during medical consultation.

In a so-called lip flip, the upper lip muscle is selectively relaxed, which can allow the lip to turn slightly outward when smiling.
