At Elegans by Dr. Vasiliki Kakani, we believe that beauty begins with confidence — and confidence begins with knowledge. One of the most sought-after aesthetic treatments worldwide is Botulinumtoxin, a procedure that has revolutionized the way we manage fine lines and wrinkles. But what exactly is Botulinumtoxin, how does it work, and what makes our clinic the ideal place for your treatment?

What Is Botulinumtoxin?

Botulinumtoxin is a purified protein derived from Clostridium botulinum. When used in small, controlled doses, it temporarily relaxes specific muscles, smoothing out dynamic wrinkles — those that form from repetitive facial expressions like frowning, squinting, or smiling.

Botox is FDA-approved and extensively studied for both cosmetic and medical uses. It’s safe, effective, and when administered correctly, gives natural-looking results that do not “freeze” your expressions but rather soften them.

What Can Botulinumtoxin Treat?

At Elegans, we use Botulinumtoxin to target:

• Forehead lines

• Frown lines (glabellar lines)

• Crow’s feet (around the eyes)

• Bunny lines (on the nose)

• Gummy smiles

• Downturned corners of the mouth

• Chin dimpling

• Jaw slimming

• Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)

Every treatment plan is personalized, based on your facial anatomy and desired results.

At Elegans, your Botox treatment is performed by Dr. Vasiliki Kakani, a licensed physician with deep expertise in aesthetic medicine.

Preparing for Your Botulinumtoxin Appointment

Botulinumtoxin is a quick, non-invasive treatment — but there are a few things you can do to ensure the best results.

A Few Days Before:

• Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications (like aspirin, ibuprofen, omega-3 supplements) for 3–5 days, unless advised otherwise by your doctor. This reduces the risk of bruising.

• Hydrate well and eat normally.

The Day of Your Appointment:

• Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup or creams.

• Let us know if you have any upcoming special events — so we can help plan your treatment accordingly.

• Be prepared to stay upright for 4 hours after treatment and avoid exercise for the rest of the day.

When to Avoid Botulinumtoxin

Botulinumtoxin is safe for most adults, but there are times when it’s best to wait or reconsider:

• During pregnancy or breastfeeding

• If you have a neurological condition or certain allergies

• If you have a skin infection or irritation in the treatment area

• If you’ve recently had another facial treatment or injection — please let us know

We always begin with a consultation to review your health, answer questions, and ensure Botox is the right solution for you.

How Long Does It Last?

Results begin to appear within 3–7 days, with full effect around 2 weeks. The smoother, more relaxed look typically lasts 3 to 4 months, after which the muscle activity gradually returns.

With regular treatments, many clients find that their muscles “retrain” and results last even longer.
