The greatest number of “fears” are associated with this method in cosmetology. However, complications after using Botox are only possible at the hands of an inexperienced or insufficiently educated cosmetologist. All our doctors have passed the necessary certification and have many years of successful experience working with botulinum toxin type A preparations. Our specialists always anticipate possible risks and are opposed to creating a “mask-like”, “doll” face. The face after Botox injections performed in our clinic will look as natural as possible, in addition, we offer one of the most competitive prices in St. Petersburg.
About Botox injections at New Skin Clinic
In our cosmetology center, specialists have constant practice with each of the drugs (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin), regularly take part in seminars and improve their skills by undergoing additional training.
At New Skin Clinic, Botox injections are carried out according to all the rules established by the manufacturer. We use the finished product only on the day it is diluted, because the next day it partially loses its activity and you will not get a lasting result. In our clinic, Botox injections are performed only by qualified cosmetologists with special education.
The main purpose of administering Botox drugs is to correct facial wrinkles that form as a result of increased mobility of the facial muscles. Botox is used for rejuvenation of both the stronger sex (see Botox for men) and women.
Prices for Botox injections
Prices for Botox in St. Petersburg in different medical centers vary greatly, but the consumer should know that the cost of the drug from official representatives is the same, everything higher is just a markup. Reasonable pricing policy allows us to perform Botox injections more often.
The cost of a Botox procedure depends on the number of units needed in a particular area.
For example, average dosages and unit prices:
Injection cosmetology – Botulinum therapyDrug name | Price, rub |
Correction of expression wrinkles - Botox 1 unit. | 310 |
Correction of facial wrinkles - Dysport 1 unit. | 120 |
Correction of facial wrinkles – Xeomin 1 unit. | 247 |
Correction of facial wrinkles - Botulax 1 unit. | 245 |
Treatment of hyperhidrosis - Botox (100 units) | 19 500 |
Treatment of hyperhidrosis - Dysport (300 units) | 19 500 |
Treatment of hyperhidrosis - Dysport (500 units) | 29 500 |
Of course, the final figures depend on the activity of the patient’s facial muscles, but doctors at the New Skin Clinic choose minimal doses of Botox to achieve maximum results. It is impossible to answer in advance the question of how many injections you need to give: exactly how many Botox injections you need to buy, the doctor at our clinic will tell you only after the first examination, and then it will be possible to calculate the final price of the procedure. Usually a one-time procedure is required, as a result of which wrinkles are smoothed out on the 4th–7th day.
If the effect was not enough, then the injections can be repeated within 2 weeks (this usually requires 2-8 units). After immobilizing facial wrinkles, contouring procedures can be performed and mesothreads can be introduced. A competent combination of these methods allows you to reduce the dosage and quantity of gel and mesothreads, and at the same time achieve excellent results.
Botox will help cope with such shortcomings as:
- Horizontal wrinkles on the forehead. The result after Botox injections into the forehead is amazing, any photo before and after the procedure will show how even the deepest wrinkles are smoothed out, the prices for our procedures can be clarified at the first appointment.
- Vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows. Botox injections between the eyebrows can get rid of creases that make the face look dissatisfied and gloomy.
- Folds on the bridge of the nose and bridge of the nose. Just a few units of the drug will help correct the deficiencies.
- Folds on the bridge of the nose and bridge of the nose. Just a few units of Botox will help correct imperfections.
- Wrinkles around the lips. Botox injections here will smooth out radial wrinkles
- Wrinkles in the nose area (bunny lines). Botox for nasolabial folds will make them less pronounced.
- Drooping corners of the lips, labiomental folds.
- Vertical bands on the neck
- Lowered eyebrows. You can lift your eyebrows with Botox using several injections that are injected into the frontalis muscle.
- Tighten the oval of the face. Botox cheek lifting brings a significant rejuvenating effect.
- Increased sweating of the armpits, palms and feet. Botox procedures in the palms, feet and armpits for hyperhydrolysis will allow you to forget about this problem for a long time; the price for one unit of Botox for the treatment of hyperhydrolysis will be 185 rubles.

How to prepare for the Botox procedure?
No special training required
How long does Botox last?
How long will Botox last? This is probably the most frequently asked question in this area. With proper dilution of Botox and compliance with all rules on the part of the doctor and the patient, Botox lasts from 6 months to a year. The effect disappears a little earlier in patients who live an active life, often visit the gym, bathhouse, etc. There are also frequent opposite examples of an increase in the duration of action, when during the duration of Botox the patient “forgets how” to intensively use facial expressions, in which case repeated injections of Botox may not be required at all.
Botox for lips
Among patients unfamiliar with medical cosmetology, there are often typical questions, for example, how to enlarge lips with Botox, where in St. Petersburg these injections can be done, how much does it cost to pump up lips with Botox, how much do Botox injections cost in the face or what is the price of injections in the forehead. Let's try to answer these questions.
Lip augmentation is performed exclusively with fillers (gels) based on hyaluronic acid, i.e. through contouring.
Small doses of Botox are injected into the area of the upper and lower lips to get rid of purse-string wrinkles (wrinkles around the mouth), while a slight increase and protrusion of the upper lip is observed after Botox injection: photos of the lips after this procedure can be viewed on our website. In general, Botox is used much less frequently on the lower part of the face than on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and eyes.
Is Botox harmful?
More than 300 studies have confirmed that when used correctly by a specialist, Botox is absolutely safe. However, using Botox at home or by an unqualified specialist can have disastrous consequences. Where can I get Botox injections?
New Skin Clinic uses only certified, registered, tested botulinum toxin preparations (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin), which have a high degree of purification. Injections are performed after a preliminary consultation with a dermatocosmetologist, during which a specialist will answer all your questions, tell you about the procedure, indications, contraindications, expected results and whether Botox is worth it for you.
The affordable price of Botox and positive reviews about it are very significant factors contributing to the increase in demand for injections. Every year, more and more women decide to undergo the procedure for administering the drug, and are satisfied with the result.
If you want to get Botox or contouring, make an appointment with our clinic by calling the phone number listed on the website.
The procedure is carried out after consultation with a doctor.
No anesthesia is required for Botox or Dysport injections unless the procedure is performed on the armpits, feet or palms (solving the problem of hyperhidrosis). For anesthesia, special preparations with lidocaine are used, which are applied to the injection area.
The next step is to treat the skin with a special product, after which the drug is injected into the treatment area. The finest needles are used to carry out the procedure, so there is no pain at all. A botulinum toxin injection session takes no more than 5-7 minutes.
The cosmetologist who performed the procedure will tell you what not to do after the Botox procedure. Thus, under no circumstances should you massage the injection sites or apply any other pressure to them.
After the session, you should remain exclusively in an upright position for at least 4 hours. For 24 hours after the procedure, you should try not to strain the muscles in the treatment area. Antibiotics are also not allowed. Prohibited activities include drinking alcohol and exposure to heat on the face and body (bathhouse, sauna, solarium, beach).
The maximum effect after the procedure is noticeable by the end of the second week.
Further, it is optimal to repeat Botox injections in the first 2 years at intervals of 6 months, for 3-4 years – once a year.
Botox or Dysport injections
Botulinum toxin is the main component of all drugs that are injected to relax facial muscles. This substance is included in both Botox and Dysport. Essentially, these are two analogues that have the same effect on the facial muscles. Their main difference lies in the manufacturer: Botox is produced by the American pharmaceutical concern Allergan, and the drug Dysport is a French brand. In addition, these drugs have different expiration dates and the number of units of the substance in the package.
What to choose - Botox or Dysport - will be advised to the patient by a cosmetologist, focusing on his individual parameters.
How do Dysport and Botox work?
Immediately after injection of the neurotoxin, the motor impulse is blocked, which is transmitted along the nerve from the brain to the muscle fiber. Thanks to this mechanism, the facial muscles are constantly in a relaxed state, while their atrophy, which is extremely important, does not occur.
After just 5-7 days, you can see the effect of the procedure, the peak of which occurs at the end of the second week (in rare cases, the maximum result was achieved by the end of 4 weeks after the session).
Repeated injections of Dysport or Botox can be administered only when muscle activity has returned to no more than 50% of the initial level.
Which is better - Botox or Dysport?
The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation has approved Botox and Dysport, which means their absolute approval for use in our country. These drugs have proven themselves to be the best in the field of aesthetic cosmetology, as they allow you to achieve excellent results in a short time and maintain them for a long time.
The cosmetologists of the Laser Doctor clinic know everything about how to get rid of wrinkles on the forehead.
With the help of Botox or Dysport, you can solve problems such as:
facial wrinkles under the eyes, in the bridge of the nose, forehead;
hyperhidrosis of the feet, armpits, palms.
There are a lot of legends surrounding botulinum toxin injections. In particular, people are confident that with the help of these drugs they can increase the volume of their lips or change their shape. In fact, the use of a neurotoxin for this purpose is prohibited, since blocking nerve impulses in the lip area will cause them to become completely immobilized, but not to become larger.
The issue of lip augmentation is dealt with by contour plastic surgery, which is carried out using completely different drugs.
Botox injections into the forehead and other parts of the face can be started at a fairly young age, since some people have a feature of the early appearance of wrinkles associated with a genetic factor or with overly mobile facial expressions.
They are shown removing facial wrinkles using botulinum toxin injections, which provide short-term blocking of facial muscles. As a result: the skin smooths out and becomes elastic.
Why shouldn't you be afraid of Botox for wrinkles?
Often people looking for ways to remove facial wrinkles think about the consequences of the injection method of rejuvenation.
Experts say that the administration of Botox or Dysport in some cases may be associated with some side effects and mild complications.
Complications often occur due to the cosmetologist’s lack of experience in this field of work. So, if the dose of Botox is too large around the eyes or in other areas of the face, as well as if the injection site is chosen incorrectly, the following may happen:
drooping upper eyelid;
double vision and blurred vision;
It is important to understand that such phenomena occur in a maximum of 1-2% of cases and are absolutely reversible and pass away very quickly.
Side effects of botulinum toxin injection:
pain at the site of needle insertion;
local hemorrhages in the areas of drug administration;
slight numbness of the tissues at the injection site;
In no case should you be afraid of side effects, since they are very rare and disappear almost immediately without a trace. A guarantee of the absence of complications is the correct choice of clinic and medical specialist who will perform the injections.
The optimal doses of Botox or Dysport are selected depending on the injection site:
to remove crow's feet around the eyes - 12-20 units;
for the forehead - 8-20 units;
for lips - 6-16 units;
between the eyebrows - 10-20 units;
for the neck and décolleté - from 24 units;
for the mesobotox procedure - from 25 units.What is Botox?
Botox is a drug whose active ingredient is botulinum toxin. It is a neurotoxin that, once it enters soft tissue, blocks the transmission of nerve impulses. Thanks to this, impulses do not reach the muscles, which relax and temporarily lose their ability to contract. In large doses, botulinum toxin is a life-threatening poison, but in cosmetic preparations it is contained in small, safe concentrations.
Under the influence of the drug, the muscles relax, which smooths out wrinkles, including deep ones. At the same time, multiple independent clinical trials have confirmed the safety of the drug and the absence of side effects even after repeated administration. Over time, it is completely eliminated from the body and muscle function is restored.
In cosmetology, Botox is used to correct age-related changes in the face and tighten the skin. For this purpose, it can be injected into almost any area of the face:
- area around the eyes;
- forehead and eyebrow area;
- nasolabial folds;
- upper lip;
- chin;
- bridge of the nose;
- face oval;
- neck.
Botox is also effective for excessive sweating in the armpits, palms and feet. Therefore, injection of the drug into these areas stops sweat production for several months.
With the correct selection of the dose, type of product and its proper administration, taking into account the characteristics of muscle relationships, you can achieve complete smoothing of the skin texture and preservation of facial expressions. Facial botulinum therapy ensures a rapid increase in effect over several days after the procedure. It reaches its maximum by the end of the second week and can persist for up to 6 months.
How does the Botox injection procedure work for the face?
- a cosmetologist cleanses the skin of makeup and impurities;
- disinfects the skin;
- applies an anesthetic (at the client’s request);
- makes markings for performing injections;
- directly administers injections, accurately selecting the dose for each client;
- re-disinfects the skin.
