Botox Helsinki
Safe and effective botulinum toxin treatment performed by a surgeon
Botox treatment in Helsinki is a medical procedure in which a small amount of botulinum toxin relaxes carefully selected muscles. The aim of the treatment is to reduce and correct expression lines or to help with health problems. The procedure does not change your appearance unnaturally. Your expression will be rejuvenated and refreshed, but you will still look like yourself.
I always plan Botox treatments at my clinic in Helsinki individually based on the anatomy of the face and muscle function. The goal is not a wax-like expression or an exaggerated result, but rather harmonious calmness and youthfulness.
Botox is used for aesthetic purposes, for example, on forehead lines, crow's feet, and around the eyes. On medical grounds, I treat bruxism and migraines with botulinum toxin in Helsinki.

Botox treatment in Helsinki in brief
Botox treatment in Helsinki refers to medical injection therapy based on botulinum toxin,
which can reduce expression lines and treat conditions such as bruxism, migraines, or excessive sweating.
The treatment affects the neuromuscular junction and reduces the activity of the treated muscle.
- What is Botox?
Botox treatment refers to a medical injection treatment based on botulinum toxin,
which relaxes carefully selected facial muscles and reduces expression lines. - What is Botox used for?
The most common aesthetic treatment areas are horizontal forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet.
Medically, botulinum toxin treatment is also used to treat conditions such as bruxism, migraines, and excessive sweating. - How does Botox treatment work?
Botulinum toxin acts on the neuromuscular junction, preventing the release of acetylcholine
at the nerve endings. As muscle activity decreases, the lines and wrinkles on the muscle surface are also smoothed out. - When will I see results?
The first effects are usually visible within 3–5 days after the injection.
The full effect of the treatment develops within approximately two weeks. - How long does the effect of Botox treatment last?
The effect of Botox treatment usually lasts for about 3–6 months.
The treatment results can be maintained by repeating the treatment two or three times a year, for example. - Who is Botox treatment suitable for?
Botox treatment is suitable for adults who want to reduce expression lines or treat
certain medical conditions with botulinum toxin treatment. The treatment is always planned
individually based on the anatomy of the face and muscle function.
What is Botox and how does it work?
m. frontalis muscle, while the frown lines between the eyebrows
are caused by the activation of the m. corrugator superciliiand
m. procerus muscles. More detailed guides:
Botox for the forehead and
Botox for frown lines.
Botox is a prescription drug whose active ingredient is type A botulinum toxin. It is used in medically justified aesthetic treatments to relax muscles that wrinkle the skin or pull features downwards.
As a result of botulinum treatment
- Repeated expressions do not deepen wrinkles.
- skin becomes smooth and features become slightly more defined
- muscle tension decreases and pain signal transmission weakens
Botox does not fill wrinkles or increase tissue volume. Its effect is based on regulating muscle activity. The end result of a well-planned and well-executed treatment is visible yet natural.
The effect of botulinum toxin on the neuromuscular junction
Botulinum toxin acts on the neuromuscular junction. Normally, the nerve ending releases
a neurotransmittercalled acetylcholine, which causes the muscle cell to contract. When botulinum toxin prevents the release of acetylcholine from the nerve ending, the muscle does not receive the contraction signal as strongly.
As a result, muscle activity is temporarily reduced. The muscle does not become completely paralyzed, but its activity is reduced in a controlled manner for a few months. When the muscle contracts less, the skin above it wrinkles less than usual. This also causes expression lines to become shallower and fade away.
) at the neuromuscular junction. As a result, the muscle does not receive the contraction signal normally (
) , which temporarily reduces muscle activity and smooths out expression lines.
What areas can be treated with Botox?
Botox treatment can affect several muscles in the face and neck area.
At my clinic in Helsinki, the treatment plan is always based on a comprehensive assessment of the face,
rather than treating individual wrinkles.
The goal is to achieve a harmonious and naturally relaxed face. This is achieved by balancing the muscle activity in the face: the muscles that pull the features down and cause wrinkles are relaxed. The muscles that lift the features are left untouched. This restores youthfulness and freshness to the face without making it look unnatural or unfamiliar.
Horizontal forehead lines
m. frontalis muscle according to an individual treatment plan.
Read a more detailed guide
on Botox treatment for the forehead.
Horizontal lines on the forehead are caused by repeated activation of the forehead muscles, for example when raising the eyebrows. On young skin, these lines are mainly visible when facial expressions are made, but over time, lines and wrinkles begin to appear even when the face is at rest. Many women notice their first permanent expression lines around the age of 30–40, when hormonal changes begin to affect the entire body—including the skin.
Botox treatment reduces the activity of the forehead muscles in a controlled manner.
When the muscle contracts less than usual, the skin above the muscle wrinkles less.
As a result, fine lines disappear completely and even deep wrinkles are significantly reduced.
When performing forehead Botox treatments in Helsinki, I always take into account
- eyebrow position
- eyelid support
- muscle balance between the forehead and eyebrows
For more information on Botox treatment for the forehead, see the guide:
Botox for the forehead – a surgeon's guide.
Excessive relaxation of the forehead muscles can lower the eyebrows, which is why the dosage must always be determined on an individual basis.
Sibelius wrinkle (between the eyebrows)
Sibelius wrinkles, or the crease between the eyebrows, form when the muscles in the glabella area are repeatedly activated, for example when concentrating or squinting. Repeated frowning can create a tense, worried, or even angry expression on the face.
Botox can reduce the contraction of these muscles, thereby
- the line evens out or disappears completely
- brightens up
- the overall expression of the face becomes friendlier and more relaxed than before
When treating Sibelius wrinkles, the goal is not to achieve an expressionless face, but rather a natural change that does not alter the individual's facial expression or make it appear unnatural.
Botox treatment for frown lines before and after. The vertical line between the eyebrows
is smoothed out when the activity of the corrugator superciliiandprocerus muscles decreases.
Read the detailed guide: Botox for frown lines.
Crow's feet (around the eyes)
The crow's feet that form at the outer corners of the eyes are caused by the activation of the orbicularis oculi muscle when smiling and squinting.
Botox treatment can reduce muscle activity so that
- magpie's feet are slippery
- your perspective broadens
- the smile remains natural and the overall impression lively
In the botulinum treatments I perform in Helsinki, the dosage is planned conservatively so that movement around the eyes is not restricted too much.
The orbicularis oculi muscle pulls the outer corner of the eye into a wrinkle, causing crow's feet to form. If the outer corners of the eyes are left untreated but the forehead is treated, for example, this can result in wrinkles forming above the corners, which are visible when the corners are raised. In the worst case, leaving the corners of the eyes untreated can also cause the corners to droop." (Surgeon Ville Männistö)
Lifting the corners of the mouth
The action of the DAO muscles, which pull the corners of the mouth downwards, can accentuate a tired, gloomy, or angry expression.
Botox can be used to relax the DAO muscles, in which case
- the corners of the mouth rise slightly
- brightens up
- the lower part of the face looks more relaxed than before
“When planning treatment, I always take into account the muscle balance of the entire lower face area.”
Lip flip and other botulinum toxin treatments for the lips
In Botox lip flip treatment, a small amount of botulinum toxin is injected into the muscle surrounding the upper lip – and sometimes the lower lip.
Botox does not fill the lips, but rather
- subtly emphasizes the curve of the upper lip
- turn the red area up and out
- reduces excessive visibility of the gums
- reduces vertical wrinkles above the upper lip (so-called smoker's lines)
The effect of Botox on the lips is moderate and individual. The first lip flip treatment often serves as a trial treatment, based on which the patient's individual response to treatment is assessed.
“In practice, the first lip flip is always a trial treatment to test the patient's individual response to treatment.”
the muscle surrounding the upper lip, causing the red part of the lip to turn slightly
upward and outward. Read more about the treatment in the guide
botox lips.
Masseter Botox – Botox for the chewing muscles and facial slimming
The masseter muscles are located in the corners of the jaw and are the strongest chewing muscles in the face.
They are responsible for most of the biting force, together with the temporalis muscles located in the temples. In some people, the masseter muscles are naturally very strong, but the muscle can also grow as a result of bruxism, or teeth grinding.
Masseter Botox refers to botulinum toxin treatment of the chewing muscles. When botulinum toxin is injected into the masseter muscles, muscle activity decreases and chewing strength weakens slightly. The treatment does not prevent normal eating or speaking, but it can reduce muscle overload and tension.
Botox injections into the chewing muscles can help with the following problems, for example:
-
-
- pain and tension in the masticatory muscles
- teeth grinding and clenching
- bruxism, or teeth grinding
- strong width of the lower face line
-
As the activity of the masseter muscles decreases, the muscle may shrink slightly over time. For this reason, masseter Botox can make the jawline softer and the lower face moderately narrower. Aesthetic facial narrowing occurs gradually as muscle mass decreases over the weeks following treatment.
- Pain in the masticatory muscles subsides
- Teeth grinding and clenching are reduced
- The lower face tapers moderately
(m. masseter), which can alleviate
bruxism and at the same time moderately narrow the lower line of the face.
Read more about the treatment in the guide
bruxism and Botox.
How Quickly Does the Effect Begin, and How Long Does It Last?
Read more about the duration of Botox's effects.
The duration of the effect varies from person to person. Factors affecting the duration include, for example
- treated muscle group
- dose used
- individual metabolism
- number of previous treatments
Regular treatment can prolong the effect over time in some patients. Typically, the results of the first Botox treatment wear off in three months, but with regular repeat treatments, the intervals between treatments can be extended to six months.
Is Botox safe?
Botulinum toxin has been used in medicine for decades and in aesthetic treatments for over 20 years. When performed correctly, Botox treatment is a safe procedure with highly predictable results.
Safety is based on three factors:
- Precise knowledge of anatomy
- Correct dosage
- Careful patient selection
At my clinic in Helsinki, I assess the overall muscle balance of each patient's face before treatment. This avoids unbalanced results and minimizes risks.
The effects of Botox are always temporary, which increases the controllability and safety of the treatment. A follow-up visit is included in the total price of the procedure, and during the follow-up visit, I can adjust the treatment results if necessary. If necessary, the treatment plan can be further modified during subsequent visits.
Botox treatment in Helsinki – who is it suitable for?
Botox treatment is suitable for adult women and men who want to reduce wrinkles and fine lines and rejuvenate and refresh their overall appearance. Medical indications for botulinum toxin treatment include, for example, physiological problems with chewing (bruxism), migraines, and various types of excessive sweating. At my clinic in Helsinki, I plan each patient's treatment individually based on their facial anatomy and goals.
In aesthetic use, Botox can be used to
- correct or reduce horizontal lines on the forehead
- smooths out the wrinkles between the corners of the mouth
- reduces crow's feet around the eyes
- reduces muscle contraction in the DAO muscles, which pull the corners of the mouth downwards
- gently turn the red part of the upper lip upward and outward
- slimming the face by reducing the strength of the masseter muscles
In medical use, botulinum toxin is used, for example, in
- for the treatment of bruxism, i.e., teeth grinding
- for the treatment of migraine and tension headaches
- to control excessive sweating of the palms, armpits, and other parts of the body
Botox does not fill the skin or change facial proportions. Its effect is based on precisely targeted relaxation of muscle activity. When the muscle contracts less than before, the skin above it also smooths out.
In the Botox treatments I perform in Helsinki, I strive for visible yet natural results. The individual features of the face are preserved, while the skin is smoothed and brightened. After treatment, the face looks rested, youthful, and beautiful.
Botox treatment is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or in situations where the use of botulinum toxin is medically contraindicated. I always assess the suitability of the treatment before the injection procedure.
Botox for bruxism in Helsinki
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is a condition of excessive tension in the masticatory muscles that can cause pain, headaches, fatigue, and tooth wear, even chipping. The symptoms often occur at night, but in many patients, unconscious jaw clenching during the day also puts constant strain on the masticatory muscles.
At my clinic in Helsinki, botulinum toxin treatment is used to treat bruxism when excessive tension in the masticatory muscles causes clear symptoms and a bite splint or other conservative treatment alone is not sufficient.
“The effects of Botox treatment for bruxism usually last for 3–6 months. If the treatment response is good, the procedure can be repeated up to three times a year.”
(Oral and maxillofacial surgeon Ville Männistö)
How does Botox affect the masticatory muscles?
When treating bruxism, botulinum toxin is injected precisely into all the masticatory muscles and sometimes also into the neck and shoulder area. The drug inhibits the action of acetylcholine released from the nerve endings, thereby weakening the contraction force of the masticatory muscles in a controlled manner.
As a result of botulinum treatment
- decreased bite force in the masseter and temporalis muscles
- overactive chewing muscles are able to relax
- Symptoms associated with bruxism, such as pain, tension, and fatigue, are alleviated.
The treatment does not paralyze the chewing muscles, but the chewing force of the muscles is significantly reduced. Chewing and normal daily activities can be performed without any problems after the treatment.
Who is the treatment suitable for?
Botox treatment may be considered when
- the masticatory muscles are clearly hypertrophic (highly developed)
- Bruxism causes pain, fatigue, or tooth damage.
- A bite splint alone is not sufficient to alleviate symptoms associated with teeth grinding.
- Bruxism is associated with headaches or facial tension.
The suitability of treatment is always assessed individually in a clinical examination. Not all jaw pain is caused by bruxism, which is why an accurate diagnosis is important before botulinum toxin treatment.
What results can be expected?
The effect typically begins within a few days and intensifies over the following two weeks of treatment.
Most patients experience
- reduction in bruxism, or teeth grinding
- relief of side effects associated with grinding
Any aesthetic changes, i.e., a moderate narrowing of the lower part of the face, usually develop more slowly than the health effects. The narrowing becomes apparent gradually as the masseter muscle mass decreases.

Botox in the treatment of migraine
Botulinum toxin treatment can be used to treat chronic migraine when headaches are recurrent and significantly interfere with daily life.
When treating migraines with Botox, the aim is to prevent the release of compounds associated with pain. When these compounds are not released, headaches are reduced and the associated symptoms of migraines are alleviated. The central nervous system, which has become sensitive to pain, can also calm down.
At my clinic in Helsinki, Botox treatment for migraines is planned individually based on the symptoms.
Who is Botox treatment for migraine suitable for?
Botox treatment may be considered when
- headaches occur several days a month
- my migraine has become chronic
- conventional medications are insufficient or cause side effects
The suitability of treatment is always assessed before the procedure.
“Not all headache patients benefit from botulinum toxin treatment, and it is wise to approach the first Botox treatment as a trial treatment to test the individual response to treatment.”
How is the treatment carried out?
Botox treatment for migraine involves treating several muscle groups in the head and neck area according to a precisely defined injection protocol. The treatment takes between ten and twenty minutes. After the treatment, the patient can return to their normal daily routine.
The effect begins gradually and is typically assessed after approximately two weeks.
What kind of treatment results can be achieved?
Many patients experience
- the number of migraine days decreases
- the intensity of the seizure subsides
- reduced need for medication
The effects of Botox treatment usually last for about three months, after which the treatment can be repeated based on an individual assessment.
Safety of botulinum toxin treatment for migraine
Botox treatment for migraine is a medical procedure that is carried out using prescription medication. The treatment plan is based on a careful assessment and safe dosage.

Botox treatment in Helsinki, step by step
Botox treatment is a quick procedure, but it must be planned carefully. At my clinic in Helsinki, each treatment begins with a calm assessment and consultation discussion.
1. Consultation and anatomical assessment
Before the injections, I will go through everything with you.
- your wishes and goals
- your previous Botox treatments
- any illnesses and medications
I assess the muscle activity in your face both at rest and when you are making facial expressions. Botulinum toxin treatment must be planned individually, not according to a ready-made formula.
2. Planning and implementation of injections
- The injection sites are marked.
- Botulinum toxin is injected with a thin needle into carefully selected muscles.
The procedure usually takes 5–15 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.
Most people compare the pain associated with injections to insect bites. It is not necessary to numb the skin, but if the patient is very sensitive to pain, a topical anesthetic may be considered.
3. After treatment
You can return to your normal routine immediately after treatment.
You will receive clear aftercare instructions:
- Avoid rubbing and touching the treatment area.
- avoid strenuous exercise for a couple of days
- stay upright for 4–6 hours
The effect begins to show within a few days and stabilizes within about two weeks.
4. Control visit
At my clinic in Helsinki, the price of treatment includes a follow-up appointment after 2–4 weeks.
The control assesses
- balance of the final result
- need for additional botulinum toxin
- patient satisfaction
- ideal timing for follow-up visits
During the follow-up visit, I will add botulinum toxin to the treated areas if necessary, at no extra charge.
Botox treatment in Helsinki – side effects and safety
Botulinum toxin treatment is a medical procedure, and like all injection treatments, it carries potential side effects. However, when properly planned and performed, Botox treatment is generally well tolerated.
At my clinic in Helsinki, we always go through the potential risks before treatment.
The most common and transient side effects
Most side effects are mild and temporary. These may include
- small lump at the injection site
- mild swelling
- bruise
- temporary soreness
These side effects usually disappear within a few days.
Rare but possible side effects
Botulinum toxin acts locally at the neuromuscular junction.
In some situations—especially if the drug spreads outside the treatment area—the following may occur
- temporary drooping of the eyebrow or upper eyelid
- asymmetry
- feeling of heaviness in the forehead
These effects are usually temporary and resolve over time. Precise injection technique and correct dosage significantly reduce the risk of these effects.
Medical contraindications
Botox treatment is not performed
- during pregnancy or while breastfeeding
- if the patient has certain neuromuscular disorders
- if there is active inflammation in the treatment area
Any illnesses and medications are always reviewed before treatment.
How is safety ensured at my reception in Helsinki?
Safety is based on three factors:
- For accurate anatomical assessment
- Correct dosage of medication
- Careful patient selection
Would you like to read a more detailed safety guide?
This page provides a concise overview of side effects.
A more comprehensive and detailed safety guide can be found here:
Botox side effects – a surgeon's safety guide
The training and work experience of an oral and maxillofacial surgeon means they have a deep understanding of the nerve and muscle structures of the face. This medical understanding is essential for performing botulinum toxin treatments effectively and safely.
In addition to my clinical work, I also conduct research. Our research group's article on masticatory muscle dysfunction has been published in an international peer-reviewed scientific journal.

Why choose Botox treatment at my clinic in Helsinki?
Botulinum toxin treatment is a medical procedure whose outcome depends primarily on anatomical understanding, dosage accuracy, and the individuality of the treatment plan.
At my clinic in Helsinki, treatment is based on clinical assessment, not on ready-made injection charts.
Anatomical expertise of oral and maxillofacial surgeons
There is a dense network of nerves and muscles in the facial area.
Safe and natural Botox treatment requires a thorough understanding of:
- facial muscle function
- nerve-muscle junctions
- symmetry and muscle balance
Training as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon provides a solid foundation for assessing these structures and performing safe injection techniques.
Individualized treatment planning
Botox treatment is not performed "area by area" separately from the whole.
I always evaluate
- balance between the areas to be treated
- individual facial features (e.g., heavy eyelids, excess skin)
- muscle strength and muscle strength ratios
The goal is not maximum muscle relaxation, but rather controlled and balanced change.
A natural yet clear outcome
The success of aesthetic Botox treatment is not measured by how much the expression changes, but by how natural even a significant change appears.
The goal of treatment is to
- serene expression
- lower grooves than before
- preserving the expressiveness of the face
Many patients want to look fresh and youthful without anyone noticing that they have undergone treatment.
Experience in both aesthetic and medical treatments
Botulinum toxin can be used to treat both aesthetic and functional problems.
Clinical experience with both helps
- understand the whole process of muscle function
- avoid going too far
- to provide care that respects the patient's wishes
- maintain the functional balance of the face
A calm and thorough reception visit in Helsinki
- Sufficient time is reserved for treatment planning.
- Questions will be answered before and after the procedure.
The goal is for treatment decisions to be based on understanding, not haste.

𝗕𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘅 𝘃𝘀. 𝗗𝘆𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘃𝘀. 𝗫𝗲𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻 - Let's dispel a few myths 💉
⛔ Myth 1: One brand is clearly better than the others.
💚 Truth: All botulinum toxin products used in Finland are excellent.
As a healthcare professional, I am not even allowed to advertise a single brand of medication, so when I talk about "Botox treatment," I mean all treatments performed with botulinum toxin products.
⛔ Myth 2: “I was given 60 units of Dysport, but my friend was only given 20 units of Botox. What’s going on, which one of us was cheated?”
🛑 Stop.
💚 Truth:
Comparing units requires some basic math skills.
👉 1 unit of Botox or 1 unit of Xeomin ≈ 2.5 units of Dysport.
In other words:
20 U of Botox/Xeomin ≈ 50–60 U of Dysport.
A larger number does not mean greater effectiveness. Botox and Dysport are “different currencies.” 💶💵
⛔ Myth 3: The same product works equally well for everyone.
💚 Truth: Treatment response is individual.
One product works better for one person, another for another. If you get the best results with a certain brand of botulinum toxin, let me know!
And yes – in my experience, it may be that in your thirties, you get the best results with one product, and in your fifties, with another.
Your body changes. Your muscles change. Skin changes.
The brand does not determine the end result.
Understanding anatomy does.
Social media compares numbers.
At the clinic, we analyze anatomy and muscle activity.
P.S. Sometimes, a very tight and deep frown requires a small amount of filler in addition to Botox. However, the forehead is a risk area for filler treatments. ➡️ Choose your professional with particular care. 💉✨

Botox Friday – before and after. 💉
Botox in three areas in these (also😄) pictures:
▪ sibelius wrinkles
▪ horizontal forehead lines
▪ laugh lines at the corners of the eyes
The goal is not to look expressionless. The goal is controlled relaxation. The face is refreshed, the skin is smoothed, and the gaze is broadened. The expression remains natural and unique.
A few observations on Botox trends at the beginning of the year:
▪ Natural movement is the focus. A completely frozen forehead is no longer the ideal for all my clients.
▪ Smaller, more precisely targeted doses. Understanding muscle function is at least as important as the number of units.
▪ For many, Botox is part of a broader beauty plan, not a quick fix.
At its best, Botox can turn back the clock by at least five years.
Have a sunny weekend!

Botox models receive a follow-up visit at no extra cost, during which I personally evaluate the results and make any necessary adjustments at no additional charge. The price of the treatment therefore covers the procedure, the follow-up visit, and any finishing touches.
In practice, you get a carefully finished result at the model price.
💡 Fun fact: Botox was originally developed for the treatment of eye muscles. Its aesthetic effects were only discovered later.

Many people come to my office asking:
"Do I need a chemical peel?"
"Would laser be the best solution?"
"Or maybe five milliliters of filler?"
Honest answer?
Very often, Botox is enough.
When muscle activity is calmed in a controlled manner, the face is refreshed, the skin is smoothed, and the overall appearance is brightened. Classic botulinum toxin treatment in three areas does a surprising amount. That is why it is worth turning to Botox before resorting to large and expensive combinations of procedures.
I do not build a treatment plan to maximize the number of treatments you receive.
I build a treatment path to maximize your end result.
Let's start lightly, shall we? And add new elements to the treatment combination later if there are good aesthetic and medical reasons for doing so.
Also, remember: the final result of Botox can only be assessed after about 2–4 weeks. 𝑬𝒂𝒔𝒚 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒕!
If you are considering aesthetic treatments, send me your photos for evaluation. Let's see together what is the most sensible starting point for your face.

The trend in Botox is clear. 👀✨
New research data presented at the IMCAS 2026 congress in Paris confirms what I see in my practice every week:
👉 less is more
👉 naturalness wins over stiffness
👉 individuality is at the heart of everything
Current trends lean towards
▫️ microdosing & baby Botox
▫️ preserving natural facial movement
▫️ preventive treatments for people in their 20s and 30s
▫️ combining Botox with treatments that improve skin quality
Botox is no longer just about "removing wrinkles." It is part of a comprehensive, long-term treatment plan.
When done well, the result looks relaxed, fresh, and natural.
📷 This is exactly what you see in the picture:
A refreshed face. Your own personal expression. Naturalness.
👀 If you are wondering what role Botox could play on your face (or whether it has any role at all), a free photo consultation is a good place to start.

The filler is always selected based on the area being treated ❌
The same product cannot – and should not – be used for all areas:
- Different facial areas require different end results.
- The structure, mobility, and load of the tissues also vary depending on the area.
Despite these facts, I occasionally hear at my clinic that the same filler has been injected into several different areas of the face.
The Juvéderm Voluma filler is often used in the nose, as it stays securely in the desired location.
The right choice of filler + the right injection technique + an aesthetic eye:
- a smooth, beautifully shaped bridge of the nose
- symmetry correction
- a balanced side profile
Filler treatment is always planned individually, according to your anatomy and desired results. Welcome to a consultation!

Botox lip flip & gummy smile correction 👄
Botox treatments in the lip area are based on subtle adjustment of the muscles surrounding the lips.
▪️Botox lip flip:
When the muscle surrounding the upper lip relaxes, the red area of the lip becomes more visible, especially when smiling.
▪️Gummy smile Botox:
When smiling, the upper lip rises so high that the gums are exposed. This phenomenon is often caused by overactivity of the muscles that lift the upper lip. This aesthetic problem can also be corrected with a few Botox injections.
Lip flip & gummy smile treatment:
– the upper lip gets an elegant pout
– the gum area is less visible
– the expression remains authentic and natural
The customer in the picture had a Botox lip flip and gummy smile correction done during the same visit.

Do men undergo botulinum toxin treatment?
Yes, they do 🤝
Yet most of the before-and-after pictures we see are of women. Why?
↪
It's not that men don't undergo botulinum toxin treatment. It's just that aesthetic medicine has long been marketed to women and described from a female perspective.
Public discussion about aesthetic treatments has also traditionally been gendered. When it comes to men, the topic is still met with restraint and invisibility. All of this is reflected in who appears in the before-and-after pictures.
Botulinum toxin treatments are performed on men for largely the same reasons as on women:
– to alleviate muscle-related ailments or pain signals
– to reduce the signs of aging
Botulinum toxin treatment is not a gender issue. The reasons for treatment are related to anatomy, muscle activity, and the patient's own goals. Botulinum toxin does not make the face more feminine or change the basic features of the face. When planned correctly, the result is individual and recognizably your own.
The publication of before-and-after photos is always based on the customer's separate consent, which in turn affects who ultimately appears in public image material.

Bruxism & aesthetic botulinum toxin treatment – combination therapy for bite-related problems
Bruxism, or teeth grinding and jaw clenching, strains the masticatory muscles and can cause headaches, facial and jaw pain, and temporomandibular joint problems, among other things.
Because the forehead area contains trigger points typical of migraines, botulinum toxin treatment of the upper face is an effective combination therapy for bruxism.
Botulinum toxin treatment of the masticatory muscles and upper face can reduce bite-related muscle activity and alleviate the symptoms associated with bruxism. 💉
Botulinum toxin relaxes the muscles in a controlled and targeted manner. The primary indication for treatment is the treatment of bruxism and other masticatory disorders, especially headaches and muscle tension.😵💫💥
Possible aesthetic changes in the upper face are a secondary benefit of the treatment. 🧏♀️
The treatment plan is always tailored to the individual based on their symptoms and muscle activity.

Treatment expectations; why the practitioner matters 💉
Many Botox clients are nervous about the treatment: will the injections hurt, what will the end result look like, and which practitioner should they go to for Botox?
The procedure is quick. Small, precisely measured injections are made at the exact right points. The injections hurt only a little; the pain can be compared to a mosquito bite. Injections in the corners of the eyes hurt a little more than in other areas.
The effect is not immediately visible. The results develop gradually over 1–2 weeks as the botulinum toxin affects muscle activity. Two weeks after the treatment, you will notice the maximum effect. Many people describe the treated areas as feeling stiff and even slightly heavy after two weeks. At this stage, I advise waiting another week, and in fact, it is only after three weeks that the treatment is complete and can be "evaluated." 😉
The success of botulinum toxin treatment depends not only on the substance itself but also on the medical expertise of the professional administering it.
The anatomy of the face, the individual functioning of the muscles, and differences in muscle activity have a decisive impact on
– where botulinum toxin is administered
– how much is injected
– how often the treatment should be repeated

As we age, the muscles in our face change, as does the elasticity of our skin. The causes of wrinkles are not only related to the skin but also to muscle function. The more expressive a person is, the younger their skin will appear.
My goal in botulinum toxin treatment is not only to rejuvenate, but also to
✔️ refresh the overall appearance
✔️ calm overactive muscles
✔️ emphasize the individual beauty of the face
How do I treat older patients?
– I assess muscle strength, balance, and overall facial dynamics with particular care
– I administer botulinum toxin in moderation and on an individual basis; achieving a good and balanced result often requires two or three treatment sessions
– I do not plan the treatment based on individual wrinkles, but on the overall appearance of the face
⏱️ The result
The effect develops gradually over 1–2 weeks and lasts for several months. The results are always temporary and fade gradually, not instantly. I evaluate and update each individual treatment plan as the treatment progresses.
Pro-age perspective
Aesthetic medicine is not about rejuvenating people. It is about supporting harmonious and natural beauty at different stages of life.

✨ What is botulinum toxin treatment really? ✨
Botulinum toxin treatment (Botox) is not just about smoothing out wrinkles. It is an established medical and aesthetic injection procedure in which small, precise doses of botulinum toxin relax selected muscles.
🔬 How does it work?
Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks muscle contraction at the neuromuscular junction. When the muscle is less active, the skin above it smooths out—but in a way that preserves the natural expression and movement of the face.
What does the treatment do?
• Reduces or corrects wrinkles (e.g., forehead, between the eyebrows, corners of the eyes)
• Can also be used for medical purposes, such as overactive chewing muscles, migraines, or excessive sweating.
Why do I plan each treatment individually?
• Every face is structured and functions individually.
• Individually tailored treatment produces balanced and natural results.
• Individualized and correct dosage = safe and effective treatment.

▪️Botulinum treatment is a safe medical procedure when performed correctly and professionally. The goal is not an expressionless result, but a natural, relaxed, and fresh appearance.
▪️Botulinum toxin relaxes selected muscles by temporarily blocking nerve-muscle communication. When the constant contraction of the muscles calms down, the skin above the muscles smooths out and wrinkles soften. The effect usually begins within 3–14 days and lasts for 3–6 months, depending on the individual.
▪️Treatment is always planned individually based on facial anatomy, muscle activity, and the client's wishes. Botulinum toxin can be used, for example, on forehead lines, between the eyebrows, at the corners of the eyes, around the lips, and medically for the treatment of bruxism and migraines.
▪️Correct dosage, understanding of the treatment areas as a whole, and injection technique are crucial for the final result. When the treatment is done correctly, you can return to your daily routine immediately, and any mild reactions at the injection sites are temporary.
▪️Botulinum toxin treatment can be modified and the treatment results improved with repeat treatments. A successful outcome is achieved in the skilled and safe hands of a healthcare professional.

The end result reflects the correct treatment interval, dosage, and comprehensive treatment planning.
👉 𝗝𝗮𝘁𝗸𝗮 𝗹𝘂𝗸𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮, this is important.
These days, I get weekly consultation messages or hear about situations at the clinic where only a small amount of botulinum toxin was injected initially and then added twice or even three times. The highest number of injections I have heard of is five times in 1.5 months, and even then the treatment was not successful.
In botulinum toxin treatment, it is essential to choose a professional who can correctly assess both the number of units to be injected and the treatment areas as a whole from the outset.
It is not a good idea to "try a little" first and then add more several times. Repeated injections in a short period of time can increase the risk of botulinum resistance. 🆘❌
If necessary, it is safe to add more botulinum within four weeks of the initial treatment. I always include a follow-up visit in the treatment, and I do not charge extra for it. This allows me to ensure optimal results in a safe and controlled manner.
A natural, balanced, and lasting result comes from expertise, not experimentation. 👊🏼
☝️ More important information!
It is the professional's responsibility to tell you which treatment package works best for your face, not yours! This again highlights how important it is to choose your practitioner carefully. The right expertise is reflected in both safety and the end result.

Why do I usually recommend botulinum toxin treatment for three areas?
Every week at my clinic, I hear requests to perform botulinum toxin treatment on only one or two areas. Often, it is the wrinkles at the outer corners of the eyes, or crow's feet, that people do not want to treat. 💫
A good comparison for this is core training: if your goal is a strong core, it is not enough to just train your abdominal muscles. You also need to train your back and sides. The same thinking applies to the face.
The orbicularis oculi muscle pulls the outer corner of the eye into a wrinkle, which is why crow's feet form at the corners of the eyes. If the outer corners of the eyes are left untreated but the forehead is treated, for example, this can result in wrinkles forming above the corners, which are visible when the corners are raised. In the worst case, leaving the corners of the eyes untreated can also cause the corners to droop. 👁️
The injection technique and the choice of injection sites are also very important. The right injection sites and precise injection technique prevent unwanted effects. When all three areas are treated carefully, the end result remains natural and balanced.
This comprehensive approach has proven to be the most effective during my years of work, both aesthetically and functionally.

Why does botulinum toxin treatment seem to have such a significant effect on the appearance of the skin?
These before-and-after photos show one of my autumn Botox models. She is an excellent example of how botulinum toxin treatment also affects the appearance of the skin. Botulinum toxin does not improve the structure or quality of the skin, but it can still make the skin look noticeably fresher and more radiant.
When muscle movement calms down, the skin above them does not wrinkle constantly: the skin's surface smooths out, shadows diminish, and the overall appearance is refreshed. After botulinum treatment, the skin is smooth, clear, and youthful, even though the skin itself is not actually treated during the procedure.

Botox: more than just aesthetics
Botulinum toxin is known for smoothing out wrinkles on the face, but it is primarily a medicinal product. This time, Ville used Botox to treat Raynaud's syndrome.
🧊Raynaud's syndrome🧊
Cold or stress causes painful blood circulation problems in the fingers or toes for some people. The fingers and toes may turn white or blue.
💉 Botox improves peripheral circulation 💉
Botulinum toxin relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels, improving blood circulation. Patients with Raynaud's syndrome report that their symptoms often improve within a few days.
👉 Botox treatment for Raynaud's phenomenon is not new, even though it may not be widely known to the general public.
New medical and aesthetic uses for botulinum toxin are constantly being discovered, which is why botulinum toxin has remained a classic treatment for decades.
📍 Ville performs Botox treatments in Helsinki, Tikkurila, Tampere, Pori, and Forssa.
