Botox

Botox is a very popular wrinkle reducing injectable agent that involves the inactivation of the strong muscles, which cause wrinkling. This is done with the help of a toxin which temporarily paralyses a specific muscle so that the skin located above it becomes smooth making wrinkles disappear or less visible.

The effect takes 4-6 months to wear off due to the slow breakdown of Botox. After repeating treatment the muscle eventually looses its natural strength.

Botox is applied most commonly to the forehead and outer corners of the eyes, because it is here that it affects facial mimics the least. It can of course be applied to other areas of the face as well (e.g. to raise the corner of the mouth or even to prevent gums from showing while smiling).

About us

Dr. István Balázs Szemerey

I attended the Faculty of Medicine at the Medical School of Semmelweis University in Budapest from where I received my diploma in 1982. I was a resident at the Szent István Hospital (Saint Stephen Hospital) and completed my qualification exam in general surgery in 1987. I worked one and a half years at the Plastic Surgery Department of the Szövetség utcai Hospital then completed an additional one and a half years at the Plastic Surgery Department of The Goethe University in Frankfurt on a DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst) scholarship. I completed my qualification exam of Plastic Surgery in Budapest in 1991.

I opened my private practice in 1991 where I work to this day as a plastic surgeon and an externist at the István Hospital respectively.

I completed a qualification exam in laser therapy and laser surgery in 1994, which is a new field in plastic surgery (see breast surgery). Aside from professional therapy I took part in a silicone research project, which resulted in a patented invention.
