Botulinum toxin, better known as Botox, is a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum. It is used to treat wrinkles caused by the contraction of the facial muscles, such as when you laugh or frown. The result? A younger, relaxed and fresher face.
- Safe and effective: botulinum toxin has been a reliable choice for facial cosmetic treatments for more than 20 years.
- Temporal effect: it temporarily reduces the action of the treated muscles, softening expression wrinkles.
- Expertly applied: at I Care Clinic, experienced doctors ensure that the treatment is performed safely and optimally.

Botulinum toxin, better known as Botox, is suitable for adults aged 18 and above and is used for both cosmetic and medical purposes. It is ideal for people who want to:
The treatment is done by injecting a small amount of botulinum toxin with a fine needle directly into the affected muscle. The process usually takes only a few minutes and requires no anaesthetic.
- Frown lines: vertical lines between the eyebrows
- Forehead wrinkles: Horizontal lines on the forehead
- Crow's feet: Vertical lines beside the eyes
The treatment takes about 30 minutes. The result is visible only after several days and depends on the amount of botulinum toxin used. At I Care Clinic, we aim for a natural-looking result.
- Underarms: Botulinum toxin blocks the sweat signal between nerves and sweat glands, greatly reducing or stopping sweat production. The effect usually becomes noticeable within 1 to 2 weeks and lasts for several months. Over time, new nerve endings grow, slowly increasing sweat production again. The treatment can be repeated.
- Forehead
- High neck/back of head
- At the temples
Botulinum toxin reduces tension in the muscles of your head, neck and shoulders, which can help relieve migraine or tension headaches. The effect can be noticeable after a few days and lasts for about six months. Although botulinum toxin is not equally effective in everyone and cannot completely relieve all pain, many people experience a reduction in the intensity and frequency of their migraine attacks.
The treatment itself is usually not perceived as painful.

- Reduction of excessive sweating: the treatment can significantly reduce sweat production, which is especially useful for people with hyperhidrosis.
