Frequently Asked Questions
Here you will find answers to the most important questions about our treatments.
Average response time: 1h
Botox, or more precisely, botulinum toxin, has been used in aesthetic medicine for decades in very low doses to specifically relax certain facial muscles.
Botox works on frown lines by targeting the muscles between the eyebrows, causing them to relax. This allows the skin to smooth out, visibly reducing the appearance of frown lines.
A pure Botox treatment of the frown lines, without smoothing the entire forehead, is easily possible. However, depending on your facial expressions, a combined treatment may be advisable.
The injection sites for Botox in frown lines are in the area of the musculature between the eyebrows. The injections are carried out very precisely with the finest needles.
The effect of a Botox frown line treatment typically lasts for four to six months. After that, the muscle relaxation gradually wears off.
Botox for frown lines can be refreshed as soon as the muscles between the eyebrows become active again, causing the smoothing effect to diminish.
The crease between your eyebrows defines your expression
The so-called glabella line is caused by repeated muscle movements. Over time, this line can become permanently ingrained and remain visible even at rest.
Many people want to remove their frown lines because they unintentionally alter their facial expression. If they are clearly visible, the face can appear stern or critical even with a neutral expression.
Cosmetic care can support the skin well. However, a pronounced expression line usually cannot be completely treated or permanently smoothed with creams.
Mimicry and skin ageing are the most common causes
The musculature between the eyes is involved in almost all facial expressions, from concern to anger to surprise. Over time, this can lead to a permanent wrinkle.
Stress, working hard, or frequently furrowing your brow, for example due to short-sightedness, often contribute to the frown line becoming more pronounced.
As skin ages, it loses elasticity and firmness. This often means that a wrinkle remains visible even when the muscles are actually relaxed again.
Targeted muscle relaxation to allow for smoother skin
When treating frown lines with Botox, botulinum toxin is injected into the responsible musculature. Muscle activity is reduced, which allows the skin to relax.
The treatment does not result in a rigid, emotionless face. The aim is targeted muscle relaxation and a natural-looking smoothing effect.
Each session is individually tailored and planned for you. We aim for as few injections as possible to maintain natural facial expressions to the best effect.

About us
In our practice, we rely on modern Aesthetics and medicine with a clear focus on safety, precision, and natural results. Our medical director, Mauricio, has comprehensive specialist training in surgery as well as many years of experience in minimally invasive facial treatments. This medical foundation forms the basis for our broad spectrum of treatments.
In each session, the focus is first on the careful analysis of your individual facial musculature, as everyone has a different facial expression and muscle activity. Only through this precise examination can we determine the optimal dosage and injection points. Our goal is to preserve your natural facial expressions while visibly reducing the glabellar frown lines. Thanks to our experience, we can apply Botox for frown lines in Hamburg with particular precision. We always ensure that the result appears harmonious and naturally blends into your individual facial structure.
Procedure
We will begin by analysing your facial expressions and discussing your wishes. Subsequently, we will create an individual treatment plan.
The procedure is carried out with very fine needles. The injections usually only take a few minutes and are generally well tolerated.
After about two weeks, we will check the improvement of your glabellar lines. If necessary, a follow-up treatment may be carried out to achieve the most harmonious result possible.
Here, every session is planned individually. While for some patients, treating the glabellar frown lines is sufficient, others benefit from a combined treatment of the upper facial area. Precise dosage allows for the preservation of facial expressions while the skin can visibly relax. This is because, in many cases, wrinkle formation does not just affect the line between the eyebrows. Horizontal forehead lines also become more prominent over time. Therefore, a combined treatment of the forehead and frown lines can be beneficial to achieve a harmonious overall appearance. Botulinum toxin is precisely injected into specific muscle groups to reduce excessive muscle activity.
As a patient, you will naturally be interested in the costs of our sessions in advance. We always advise individually on this, as the price depends on various factors. The decisive factors are primarily the individual muscle activity in the area between the eyebrows and the required amount of active ingredient. Although the treatment itself only takes a few minutes, it still requires precise knowledge of facial anatomy and the raw material itself. The professional placement of the injections also plays an important role. The injection sites are determined individually so that the muscles can be precisely relaxed and facial expressions remain natural. Therefore, the costs can vary from person to person.
