Why get botox in Stockholm?
Stockholm is the country's centre for aesthetic medicine and has the country's largest range of aesthetic clinics. Here, international standards meet local expertise — many Stockholm clinics offer the same treatments as top clinics in London and Paris. Botox is by far the most popular treatment for middle-aged Stockholmers who want to keep a healthy, alert look without looking "done". In Södermalm, Östermalm and Norrmalm, micro-injections and subtle volume enhancement have become the standard — not the dramatic "frozen face" that many people fear. Many Stockholm clinics also have the medical expertise for combined treatments (botox + fillers) on the same day for a completely refreshed face.
Price level in Stockholm — what affects the price?
We only show price ranges when at least five clinics have stated a price with sufficient supporting data. When there is less data, we do not show an individual clinic's price as if it were a market price.
So compare the clinics' current price information and contact the clinic if the price or treatment plan is not clearly stated.
Stockholm's higher prices are due to higher premises rents, higher salary costs for licensed staff, and higher patient demands for skilled injection technique. Many clinics offer a discount on the second and third treatment in the same year.
- Stockholm has Sweden's highest density of well-trained injectors — many clinics are branches of larger aesthetic chains or are run by physicians with international certification.
- Many Stockholm clinics combine botox with filler or skin boosters on the same day for total facial rejuvenation — a growing trend.
- Stockholm's Christmas market and summer seasons are peak times for botox — many people plan treatments ahead of important events.
- Digital before/after photos are standard — almost all Stockholm clinics show results on their website or Instagram for transparency.
- Reviews carry a lot of weight here — Stockholmers read reviews carefully before choosing a clinic.
How does treatment with botox work?
Botulinum toxin type A — in Sweden most commonly known by the brand name Botox® — is an injection that temporarily relaxes selected facial muscles. As a result, wrinkles caused by facial expressions (forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows and crow's feet) become less prominent. Botulinum toxin is a prescription medicine and in Sweden may only be injected by a licensed physician, dentist or nurse after a consultation and the statutory cooling-off period.

How the treatment is carried out — step by step
- 1
Consultation and assessment
The practitioner goes through your medical history, medications, any allergies and what you want to achieve. Your facial expressions are analysed to assess which muscles need to be treated. Before an aesthetic injection treatment, a cooling-off period of at least two days applies after you have received the information about the treatment. If the same type of injection treatment is repeated within six months, no new cooling-off period is required.
- 2
Skin preparation
The skin is cleansed and disinfected. Anaesthesia is rarely needed because the needle used is very fine, but a cold pack or local anaesthetic cream may be offered for sensitive areas.
- 3
The injections
The practitioner marks the points and injects small doses of botulinum toxin into selected muscles. The number of injections depends on the treatment area — often 3–5 points per area. Most people feel only a slight prick.
- 4
Immediately after the treatment
You can leave straight after the treatment. Slight redness or small needle marks may be visible for a few hours. You receive written information about what to avoid during the first day.
- 5
Follow-up
The effect is evaluated at a follow-up visit after 2–3 weeks. The dose is adjusted if needed — it is common to need a minor adjustment at the first treatment to find the right level for you.
Recovery and aftercare
Botox requires no real recovery — you can go back to work the same day. However, there are a few things you should avoid for the first 24 hours so that the medicine settles correctly in the treated muscles.
- Avoid massaging, rubbing or pressing on the treatment area for 24 hours.
- Avoid intense exercise, saunas, sunbeds and hot baths on the same day.
- Sleep with your head slightly raised the first night.
- Avoid blood-thinning medicines (e.g. ibuprofen, aspirin) for 24 hours if medically possible.
- Do not use face masks or strong skincare (peels, retinoids) during the first day.
- Contact the clinic if you experience unusual weakness, drooping eyelids or difficulty swallowing.
Who is suited to botox?
Botox in Stockholm is best suited to people aged 30–55 who notice that forehead lines, worry lines or crow's feet make them look less rested than they feel. It also suits those who have a stressful job (many IT professionals and managers around Stureplan) and want to look more rested. If you are happy with your volume but just want to "freshen up" your facial expressions — botox is perfect. It is NOT suitable if you love your facial expressions and are afraid of looking "wrong" — then a small update with fillers is better.
Who is not suited to botox?
The treatment is not suitable in the following situations. Always mention these during the consultation.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Known hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin or to any of the medicine's excipients.
- Active infection or skin disease on the treatment area.
- Neuromuscular diseases such as myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome or ALS.
- Ongoing treatment with certain antibiotics (e.g. aminoglycosides) that can enhance the effect.
- Bleeding disorders or ongoing treatment with blood-thinning medicines — discuss with your doctor first.
- Unrealistic expectations — botox cannot remove deep, static wrinkles that are present at rest.
Differences between brands
Several different products are used in Sweden. The differences are often small — which brand suits you is decided by your practitioner based on your goals and previous treatments.
Botox® (Allergan/AbbVie)
The best-known and longest-studied brand on the Swedish market. Active substance: onabotulinumtoxinA. The effect typically appears within 3–7 days.
Azzalure® (Galderma)
Active substance: abobotulinumtoxinA. Dosed in different units from Botox and, according to some studies, has a slightly faster onset of effect.
Bocouture® / Xeomin® (Merz)
Active substance: incobotulinumtoxinA. Lacks accessory proteins, which theoretically reduces the risk of the body forming antibodies with repeated treatment.
Alluzience® (Galderma)
Ready-mixed liquid form of abobotulinumtoxinA — reduces the variation that arises when it is mixed at the clinic.
When will you see the results?
- Day 0 (after treatment)No visible changes — you may see small needle marks or slight redness.
- Day 3–7The effect starts to set in. Facial expression around the treatment area feels gradually more relaxed.
- Week 2–3Full effect is reached. This is when the practitioner evaluates the result at a follow-up visit.
- Months 3–4The effect slowly starts to wear off — muscle activity gradually returns.
- Months 4–6Time for a new treatment if you want to maintain the result. With repeated treatments, the effect may last somewhat longer.
Risks and what to consider
Botox is generally a very safe treatment when performed by a licensed physician. Common, mild side effects are temporary redness, swelling or small bruises at the injection site — these pass within a few days. Headache occurs in about 10–15% of patients and is mild and short-lived. Very rarely (in under 1% of cases) the treatment can give a somewhat unnatural facial expression if the dose is incorrect — this is reversible as the effect wears off after 3–4 months. Extremely rarely, the medicine can spread to nearby muscles, causing temporary weakness or ptosis (drooping eyelid) — this disappears as the effect wears off. Serious complications such as diffuse muscle weakness or an allergic reaction are very uncommon but require immediate medical care. Long-term side effects are not documented — botox is broken down and disappears completely from the body. It is important that you choose an experienced, licensed practitioner and that you report all side effects.
Before your botox in Stockholm
- Avoid ibuprofen, aspirin or fish oil pills 48 hours beforehand — they increase the risk of bruising.
- Come without heavy make-up or face cream on the day — the clinic cleanses your skin fully before the treatment.
- Avoid strenuous exercise or jogging 24 hours beforehand — a high heart rate can increase swelling.
- Read the patient information you are emailed — and ask the practitioner if anything is unclear.
- Arrive well rested and after a good breakfast — low blood sugar can make you feel dizzy under the needle.
- Book a follow-up appointment now for 2 weeks later — that is when the result is assessed.
