Botox – medical application

Botox in Zagreb at Drinković Polyclinic is used exclusively as a medical procedure, with a clear medical indication, precise assessment of facial anatomy, and an individually defined therapeutic goal.

Botulinum toxin is used for the controlled and temporary reduction of excessive muscle activity that causes dynamic wrinkles, while preserving natural facial expressions and movement.

At Drinković Polyclinic, botox is not a cosmetic procedure, but a medical therapy that requires expert knowledge, experience, and a responsible approach.

What is botox and how does it work?

Botox, or botulinum toxin, works by temporarily blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to targeted muscles. This reduces their excessive contraction, which leads to the softening of dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions.

The effect of botox:

• develops gradually
• is predictable
• is time-limited
• does not affect sensation
• does not cause permanent changes

This mechanism allows full control of the results and adaptation of the therapy to each patient.

Medical indications for botox

The medical use of botulinum toxin in Zagreb is most commonly used for:

• Glabellar lines (wrinkles between the eyebrows)
• Horizontal forehead lines
• Periocular wrinkles (wrinkles around the eyes)
• Facial expression asymmetries
• Preventive use in the early signs of aging

Each indication is assessed individually, taking into account facial anatomy, muscle strength, and the patient’s realistic expectations.

Botox for the forehead, glabella, and eye area

The most common areas of botox application include:

• forehead (frontal muscle)
• the area between the eyebrows (glabella)
• outer periocular regions (so-called “crow’s feet”)

The goal of the therapy is to soften wrinkles, not to “freeze” the face. The dosage and injection technique are adapted individually to each face.

When are the results visible and how long does botox last?

• The first effects are visible 3–5 days after the treatment
• The maximum effect is achieved within 10–14 days
• Duration of effect: 3 to 6 months, depending on individual characteristics

If needed, a follow-up examination is planned to assess the results.

Is botox safe?

The medical use of botulinum toxin is safe when performed:

• with a medical examination
• with precise dosing
• with knowledge of facial anatomy

At Drinković Polyclinic, the emphasis is on safety, moderation, and a natural result, without impairing facial expressions or appearance.
