This treatment is suitable for adults with dynamic wrinkles — lines that form through repeated facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, or squinting. Common treatment areas include the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and around the eyes (crow's feet). It is also used for brow lifting, bunny lines, lip lines, and neck bands. Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neuromuscular conditions are not suitable candidates.

Neurotoxin injections effectively reduce dynamic wrinkles, resulting in a refreshed and more rested appearance without altering natural facial expressions when performed at the correct dosage. Regular treatments can also act preventatively, slowing the development of deeper, static wrinkles over time. The treatment is quick, non-surgical, and requires no downtime, making it highly practical for patients with active lifestyles.

Avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol for one week before treatment to reduce bruising risk. Inform your dermatologist of any prior neurotoxin treatments and any medications you are taking. Avoid vigorous exercise on the day of your appointment.

The treatment area is cleansed and mapped before the dermatologist precisely administers the neurotoxin using a very fine needle at pre-determined injection points. The procedure takes approximately 15–20 minutes. Most patients experience only a mild pinching sensation. No anaesthesia is required. Normal activities can be resumed immediately after.

Avoid lying down, vigorous exercise, and rubbing the treated area for four hours after injection. Do not receive facial massage or undergo other facial treatments for two weeks. Results begin to appear within two to five days and reach their full effect at two weeks. A follow-up appointment can be scheduled to assess results and make any minor adjustments if needed.

Botulinum toxin is a safe and well-studied treatment when administered by a trained dermatologist. Temporary redness or mild bruising at injection sites may occur. In very rare cases, temporary eyelid or brow drooping may result from inadvertent spread of toxin, which resolves completely over several weeks. Expert technique and precise dosing minimise the risk of unwanted effects.

The cost of botulinum toxin treatment in Delhi varies based on the number of treatment areas and units required. A personalised assessment and cost plan will be discussed at your consultation with Dr. Rajat Kandhari.
