Wrinkle treatment in Dortmund: consultation and treatment at Westfalenklinik

Consultation and wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant take place at Westfalenklinik in Dortmund, Rosemeyerstr. 2–4. The treatment is outpatient and takes about 15 to 20 minutes; afterwards you are usually back out among people straight away. At Westfalenklinik, treatments are generally possible on any day of the week, and a personal contact person accompanies you from the first consultation to the follow-up check.

The clinic is located right on the B1/A40 in the immediate vicinity of the Signal Iduna Park. By car, leave the B1 at the Dortmund-Hombruch exit and park on the building’s parking deck directly in front of the entrance. By public transport, take the U45 from the main station to Stadtgarten and then the U42 to Theodor-Fliedner-Heim; from Dortmund Airport it is about 12 km via the B1.

Why people choose a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant

  • Softening expression lines, frown lines and forehead lines
  • Effect over several months
  • Short procedure, first effects after a few days
  • Preparations with the same active ingredient from several manufacturers

Facial expressions and wrinkle formation

Facial expressions are among the most interesting characteristics of a person and at the same time an enemy of smooth skin. Wrinkles on the forehead and around the eye area can be treated in a short time with a muscle relaxant. The active ingredient used in aesthetic medicine is now on the market in a large number of preparations with the same active ingredient and is distributed by several manufacturers in comparable quality.

How does a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant work?

A wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant usually takes only a few minutes. This inhibits the transmission of signals from the nerve to the muscles, so that muscles and skin relax.

The full effect is visible after a few days and lasts for a few months. A top-up is usually possible.

Methods compared

Muscle relaxant, hyaluronic acid or threads?

Which treatment is suitable depends on whether a wrinkle is caused by facial expressions, by loss of volume or by the skin’s declining firmness.

Muscle relaxantWrinkle treatment

A muscle relaxant inhibits the transmission of stimuli from the nerve to the muscle and in this way relaxes individual facial muscles in a targeted way. It is mainly an option for expression lines at the forehead and eyes; the natural facial expression is intended to be preserved.

Typical areas
Forehead, frown line, crow’s feet
Effect

Hyaluronic acidDermal fillers

Hyaluronic acid is placed in the middle to deep layers of the skin. It binds water, replenishes volume loss and slightly lifts the skin at the treated site. In this way, deeper wrinkles can be softened and volume, for example in the cheeks or chin, can be compensated for.

Treatment durationabout 15 to 45 minutes
Typical areas
Nasolabial fold, cheeks, chin, corners of the mouth, fine lines above the lip
Effect
visible immediately, lasts about 6 to 9 months
Afterwards
minor swelling or redness subsides after hours to days
Costs
from €399

Thread liftabsorbable threads

Threads made of polylactic acid are placed in the fatty tissue of the subcutis through small punctures. Small hooks anchor them in the tissue, so sagging skin can be tightened and lifted without a skin incision. It can be combined with a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant.

Treatment durationabout 30 to 60 minutes
Typical areas
Eyebrows, cheeks, jaw and neck area, forehead

How painful is a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant?

The doctors at Westfalenklinik inject the muscle relaxant with a special, very thin needle, so that apart from a slight prick you notice little of the treatment. The effect of the first needle prick is also reduced by a special ointment, which is considered a gentle anaesthetic, and by the application of cold.

Aims of a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant

  • Existing expression lines, for example around the eye area, between nose and cheeks or around the corners of the mouth, are softened
  • Prevention of the formation of new expression lines
  • The natural expression of the face is intended to be preserved
  • Usually back out among people from the first day

Procedure for a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant at Westfalenklinik

This is how a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant works at Westfalenklinik, from the consultation to the full effect:

  1. Step 1

    Beforehand

    Consultation in Dortmund. In the consultation we discuss which wrinkles bother you and clarify whether anything argues against the treatment, for example a pregnancy. You can book your appointment online.

  2. Step 2

    Before the treatment

    Cleansing and disinfecting the face. Before we can treat the relevant muscle areas in the face, the intended treatment areas are first cleansed and disinfected.

  3. Step 3

    15 to 20 minutes

    The injection. The muscle relaxant is then introduced with a very thin needle. This is done only at specific points, since the muscle stimulus of certain areas only has to be switched off at a few typical pressure points. For a natural-looking result, what is decisive is how much of the active ingredient is introduced at which pressure points. The more experienced your treating doctor, the more individually your predisposition can be taken into account in the aesthetic wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant, and your particular wishes can be incorporated. Incidentally: with regular treatment, the muscles are increasingly inhibited, and the desired effect can be achieved more easily over time.

  4. Step 4

    On the same day

    Back to everyday life. After a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant, you are usually back out among people straight away. All you need to bear in mind is that the effect of the muscle relaxant only begins a few hours after the treatment and builds up over several days.

  5. Step 5

    Day 3 to 14

    The effect. The first effects are visible after about three days; you will see the full effect after 14 days at the latest.

  6. Step 6

    3 to 6 months

    Top-up. The body breaks down the active ingredient over time, so the effect lasts about 3 to 6 months. With regular use, the intervals between treatments may become longer.

How to behave after the wrinkle treatment

Do not rub or massage the treated areas during the first three to four hours after the treatment. On the day of treatment, refrain from exercise, sauna and sun exposure. Slight swelling can be covered with make-up until it disappears after a short time. However, you should postpone the treatment if you are pregnant or are currently taking antibiotics or acetylsalicylic acid (ASA).

Treating frown lines, crow’s feet, expression lines and more with a muscle relaxant

As a simple and non-surgical treatment option for wrinkles, muscle relaxants are particularly suitable for expression lines. Our doctors at Westfalenklinik therefore use them for wrinkle treatments of glabellar lines (frown lines) at the root of the nose and horizontal forehead lines, for the treatment of crow’s feet, for lateral and medial brow lifts, for fine lines around the mouth, lines on the bridge of the nose and downturned corners of the mouth.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the wrinkle treatment last?

The muscle relaxant used for the wrinkle treatment blocks the release of messenger substances at nerve endings, so that muscles and glands are temporarily relaxed and the skin can regenerate. The active ingredient is broken down by the body over time, so the effect on the muscles lasts 3 to 6 months. With regular use, the muscle concerned is weakened, and the intervals between treatments can thus be extended. We brief you on possible side effects before the treatment.

Is a muscle relaxant toxic to my body?

The muscle relaxants used at Westfalenklinik are proteins. The doses used in aesthetic treatment are far below the amount that would be dangerous for the body. We discuss possible side effects with you in the medical briefing.

Are dermal fillers safe?

The muscle relaxants used at Westfalenklinik are all based on the same active ingredient. This active ingredient is well researched and has also been used in the therapeutic field for medical treatment for more than 15 years, including in children. The doses customary in aesthetic use are much lower than in the therapeutic field. Like any treatment, however, a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant can also have side effects, for example slight swelling at the injection sites; we brief you on this before the treatment.

When should you not have a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant?

If a wrinkle treatment is requested during pregnancy, in the case of a local infection at the injection site or a proven hypersensitivity to one of the components, we do not wish to take responsibility for using a muscle relaxant, for additional patient safety.

When does a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant take effect?

The active ingredient attaches to the nerve endings within an hour, but the first effects only become visible after about three days. The full effect is reached after 14 days at the latest.

What does a wrinkle treatment in Dortmund cost?

At Westfalenklinik in Dortmund, a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant costs from €299. The prices are final prices including statutory VAT; after your consultation you will receive a no-obligation treatment quote. Financing is possible through our financing partner.
