What does a Botox® wrinkle treatment involve at California Skin in Wiesbaden?
The consultation
We plan every wrinkle treatment individually at our studio in Wiesbaden.
To begin with, you will receive an extensive personal consultation. This gives you the opportunity to discuss the wrinkles you find troubling and aspects of your appearance you wish to enhance with the specialist treating you. Then, based on this discussion, we will draw up a treatment concept tailored to your needs and wishes.
The treatment
You should not wear any makeup for your wrinkle treatment. In addition, you may need to stop taking certain medications for a temporary period.
The Botox® wrinkle treatment itself only takes a few minutes. The doctor treating you will numb the surface of your skin with a special salve to make the treatment as pleasant as possible for you. They will then use very fine cannulas to inject the Botox® into the skin. As we aim to achieve a natural anti-ageing effect, the doctor treating you will administer a very small amount of botulinum toxin, proceeding with absolute precision and the utmost caution to eliminate the risk of overcorrection.
As a result, you may find that a single filler treatment does not instantly remove all your wrinkles and lines. It could take several treatment sessions to achieve your desired results.
After the treatment
After a wrinkle treatment, you must protect your face against direct sunlight and heat. You should avoid exercise and visits to the sauna or solarium for the first 3 to 5 days. It is also important not to lie down for the first few hours after the procedure. During this time, the Botox® will still be spreading out in your skin.
It can take a few days for the Botox® to take full effect and remove the targeted wrinkles. The final results will be visible after around 3 days and last, on average, around 4 to 9 months. After that, we can perform a refresher anti-ageing treatment at any time.

FAQs about wrinkle treatments with Botox® in Wiesbaden
Which wrinkles can be treated with Botox®?
Above all, Botox® treatments are suitable for expression lines, also known as dynamic wrinkles. These include laugh lines, crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles and frown lines. It can also reduce expression-related wrinkles around the nose, mouth and chin. However, if you would like to remedy static wrinkles, hyaluronic acid would be more suitable.
How often can I have Botox® treatments?
We can perform repeat treatments as often as you like once the effects of the botulinum toxin wear off.
When will I be able to smoke again after Botox® treatment?
You can smoke again immediately after an anti-ageing treatment.
Which doctors can perform Botox® treatments?
Treatments involving botulinum toxin should only be performed by an aesthetic plastic surgeon or a suitably trained dermatologist.
At our studio in Wiesbaden, treatments are performed exclusively by specialist doctors with suitable training.
What options do I have if I’m not satisfied with the final results?
Botulinum toxin will break down in the body after a few months. Its effects will then fade automatically. Here in Wiesbaden, we would also be happy to perform additional corrections to optimise the results in line with your wishes.
Is Botox® treatment suitable for everyone?
Treatments using botulinum toxin cannot be administered to people with certain pre-existing conditions. These include certain neurological conditions, skin diseases, muscle disorders, bleeding disorders and skin inflammation. Wrinkle treatments are also inadvisable during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
When is hyaluronic acid most suitable and when should I choose Botox®?
Hyaluronan treatments are suitable for treating static wrinkles and lifting parts of the face that have become saggy or droopy. Hyaluronic acid fillers add volume, so they can be used to model specific facial areas.
Botulinum toxin, on the other hand, does not add volume and instead reduces the activity of muscles we use for facial expression. This means that Botox® is particularly suitable for reducing expression lines.
What are the potential side effects of Botox® treatment?
Immediately after an anti-ageing treatment, you may experience slight swelling and bruising. However, such symptoms usually subside within a few hours.
In the event of an overdose, certain muscles can be weakened more than intended – which is why Botox® treatment should only ever be administered by experts. At California Skin in Wiesbaden, you will always be treated by a suitably qualified specialist.
