Botulinum toxin treatment in Finland

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!

Here is the transformation of one of my Botox training models.
The wrinkles disappeared, but the expression remained natural and unique. This is exactly the kind of treatment result that I like.

The next Botox model search will start next week.

‼️ 𝐊𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢 𝐤𝐮𝐮𝐥𝐮𝐮 𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐚𝐧.

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.
