Anti-Wrinkle Treatments in Lisbon
Anti-wrinkle treatments in Lisbon: what to expect
At Cosmo Clinic in central Lisbon, our English-speaking doctors treat expression lines with botulinum toxin to soften the appearance of forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet. Every plan begins with a free first consultation, where a physician examines how your muscles move, listens to what you would like to soften, and explains realistic, temporary results that usually last three to six months.
Botulinum toxin works well alongside other options. Many patients pair it with dermal fillers to restore volume in static lines, or add skin treatments for tone and texture; if a single area is your focus, you can read more about frown line treatment below. Prices for our anti-wrinkle treatments in Lisbon are confirmed in person after your assessment, so you know the cost before booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does botulinum toxin last?
Botulinum toxin results typically last between 3 to 6 months, depending on the area treated, the amount used, and your metabolism. Areas with more muscle movement, like crow's feet, may metabolize it faster. With regular treatments, results can last longer.
Is botulinum toxin painful?
Botulinum toxin is well-tolerated by most patients. We use ultra-fine needles and can apply numbing cream before treatment if needed. You'll feel small pinpricks during the injection, with minimal discomfort that lasts only during the procedure.
How much does botulinum toxin cost in Lisbon?
Botulinum toxin pricing in Lisbon varies depending on the area treated and the amount of toxin needed. At Cosmo Clinic, pricing is confirmed after a free medical evaluation. Typical prices range from €150 (1 area) to €317 (3 areas).
What is the difference between botulinum toxin and fillers?
Botulinum toxin relaxes muscles to smooth dynamic expression lines like forehead wrinkles and crow's feet. Dermal fillers (hyaluronic acid) add volume and hydration, targeting static wrinkles, lips, and facial contours. Both can be combined for full facial rejuvenation.
What should I avoid after botulinum toxin?
After botulinum toxin, avoid lying face-down for 4 hours, vigorous exercise for 24 hours, saunas and hot baths for 48 hours, and facial massage over treated areas for 2 weeks. These precautions ensure optimal results.
Can men get botulinum toxin?
Absolutely. Botulinum toxin for men is increasingly popular. We tailor the approach to achieve natural, refreshed results that preserve masculine facial features. Men typically require higher doses due to stronger muscle mass.
How to choose the right treatment for expression lines
Expression lines form through repeated facial muscle movement — frowning, smiling, squinting. They differ from static wrinkles, which remain visible at rest. For dynamic lines, botulinum toxin is the reference approach in aesthetic medicine: it temporarily relaxes the responsible muscle, smoothing the skin above it while preserving natural expression when properly dosed.
Zone and dose are individual decisions. During your consultation, our medical team assesses muscle strength, line depth and facial balance before proposing a plan — no fixed one-size-fits-all dosing.
Most requested areas at our Lisbon clinic
Forehead treatment — the horizontal lines that appear when raising your brows. Glabellar lines — the vertical frown lines between the brows. Crow's feet around the eyes. Bunny lines — the lines across the nose when smiling. Gummy smile treatment to reduce gum exposure when smiling. Chin and masseter (bruxism) complete the most treated facial areas.
Beyond wrinkles: other uses of botulinum toxin
The same substance has aesthetic and functional applications beyond lines: treating hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating), the lip flip for subtle upper-lip definition, and a growing number of men choosing discreet treatments — see our men's aesthetic medicine overview.
