Deep Wrinkle Treatment in Algiers with Dr. Madjoudj
Over time, expression lines deepen into static furrows, even at rest. Nasolabial folds (between the nose and mouth), marionette lines (corners of the lips), and glabellar lines (the "11s" between the eyebrows) can create a severe, tired, or sad appearance. Dr. Madjoudj, an Algerian plastic surgeon and facial aesthetics expert based in Algiers, offers a comprehensive medical approach to effectively address these wrinkles. Moving beyond simplistic solutions, he skillfully combines botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid fillers, and sometimes fat transfer, achieving natural, rejuvenating, and long-lasting results.
Avantages
Why Choose Dr. Madjoudj for Wrinkle Treatment in Algiers
The anatomical expertise of a plastic surgeon for strategic and natural-looking medical injections.
01
Comprehensive Overview of Facial Aging
He doesn't treat wrinkles in isolation. He understands that aging is a comprehensive process involving volume loss, skin laxity, and muscle hyperactivity. His treatment plan addresses these different aspects to achieve harmonious rejuvenation.
02
Mastery of the Art of Strategic Filler Techniques
Knowing where, how much, and at what depth to inject is an art. His surgical expertise gives him a perfect understanding of anatomical planes. He treats deeply for structural and natural results, avoiding the superficial "puffy" look.
03
Effective and Personalized Combined Approach
The combination of Botox and dermal fillers (sometimes referred to as a "liquid facelift") is significantly more effective than either treatment alone. Dr. Madjoudj customizes the dosage and product selection to achieve the perfect balance between muscle relaxation and volume restoration.
04
Safety and Application of Advanced Techniques
Whenever possible, he uses blunt cannulas to minimize the risk of bruising, discomfort, and vascular injury. He prefers reversible products like hyaluronic acid and has an in-depth understanding of the face's high-risk anatomical zones.
Dr. Madjoudj's Philosophy: Intelligent Rejuvenation
The goal isn't to achieve a completely wrinkle-free face, but rather one with a relaxed expression, balanced contours, and a radiant look that exudes well-being and vitality.
Nasolabial Fold Treatment: Filler vs. Lifting
Dr. Madjoudj believes that filling the nasolabial fold at its deepest point isn't always the best approach. Often, this fold becomes more pronounced due to sagging cheek volume. By restoring volume to the cheek area (above the fold) with dermal filler, we create a visual lifting effect that naturally softens the fold while requiring less product. This represents a more strategic, upstream treatment approach.
Relaxation of "Marionette Lines" (Sad Mouth Fold)
"Frown lines can give a sad or stern appearance. Their treatment may combine several approaches: a small dose of Botox in the depressor muscle of the lip to relax the downward pull, along with a gentle filling of the hollow itself. In some cases, a subtle chin filler (medical genioplasty) can also help rebalance the entire lower face."

Dr. Madjoudj Ahcene
Erase the Signs of Time, Rediscover a Refreshed Look
A deep wrinkle isn't just a skin issue—it's often the result of combined factors like muscle hyperactivity, lost subcutaneous volume, and skin laxity. Dr. Madjoudj, drawing on his international expertise in facial anatomy and dual qualifications in surgery/aesthetic medicine, carefully analyzes the root cause of each wrinkle.
For nasolabial folds, he volumizes the hollow with a dense filler while also addressing the underlying issue by restoring collapsed cheek volume. For frown lines ("11s"), he combines botulinum toxin (to relax the muscle) with subtle filler (to smooth residual depressions). His strategic approach targets causes, not just symptoms, ensuring harmonious facial rejuvenation.
(Note: I adapted medical terminology for patient understanding while maintaining precision—e.g., "sillon naso-génien" → "nasolabial folds," "pommette" → "cheek volume." The tone balances professional authority with approachability, mirroring high-end aesthetic clinic communication.)

A structured treatment plan for optimal results
Examen30-45 minutes
Wrinkle and Volume Assessment Consultation
Dr. Madjoudj carefully evaluates your face both at rest and in motion. He identifies static wrinkles (always visible) and dynamic wrinkles (which only appear with facial expressions). He analyzes facial volume: Are your cheekbones sagging, making nasolabial folds more pronounced? Have your lips lost volume, causing the corners to droop? After making a precise diagnosis, he creates a personalized treatment plan and explains the purpose of each product (Botox, dermal fillers, etc.) in your regimen.

Preparation and Product Selection
The face is thoroughly cleansed and disinfected. Dr. Madjoudj prepares the necessary products according to the treatment plan: botulinum toxin for dynamic forehead and glabellar wrinkles, and different types of hyaluronic acid (a more fluid formula for the lips, and a denser formulation for nasolabial folds and cheekbones). A numbing cream is applied to the areas to be treated with fillers.

Strategic and Combined Injections
Dr. Madjoudj typically begins by administering botulinum toxin injections to the targeted areas (forehead, glabella, crow's feet). He then proceeds with dermal filler injections. For nasolabial folds, he injects deep into the maxillary bone and sometimes extends toward the cheekbone for a lifting effect. For marionette lines, he fills the hollow and may slightly elevate the corner of the mouth. For the lips, he enhances the definition of the borders and restores volume. Whenever possible, he uses cannulas to ensure greater comfort and safety for the patient.

Gradual and Natural Results
The effects of botulinum toxin begin to appear within 3-5 days, reaching their peak at around 15 days. Dermal fillers provide immediate results, though these may initially be obscured by mild swelling that subsides within 2-3 days. Minor bruising may occur. It is recommended to avoid sun exposure, intense heat, and strenuous activities for 48 hours. Once the swelling has resolved and the toxin has fully taken effect, the final result is a relaxed, refreshed appearance with softened wrinkles and restored volume, creating a natural and rejuvenated look.
- Optimal combined effect achieved within 15 days.
- Swelling and possible temporary bruising
- Simple post-treatment care instructions
- Natural-looking, expressive, and long-lasting results (6-18 months depending on the product)

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Botulinum toxin lasts 4 to 6 months. Fillers for deep wrinkles last between 12 to 18 months, and even longer for certain volumizing products (like cheek fillers). To maintain the overall effect, regular treatments are necessary. The advantage, however, is that results build up over time, and the skin is preserved.
Botox injections are quick and nearly painless, involving just tiny pinpricks. For fillers, the use of numbing cream and/or products mixed with an anesthetic ensures a very comfortable experience. You’ll mostly feel a sense of pressure and mild tingling.
With Dr. Madjoudj's expertise, no. He uses subtle doses of Botox to relax, not paralyze. For fillers, he favors undercorrection and deep injection to create structural support rather than superficial volume. The result is a refreshed and natural appearance, not an altered one.
Yes, that's actually the main advantage. A comprehensive session lasting 30 to 45 minutes allows multiple areas (forehead, crow's feet, nasolabial folds, lips) to be treated at once. It's the concept of a "lunchtime procedure": you leave with results that will refine over the next two weeks.
Surgical facelift addresses excess skin and deep muscle laxity, offering long-lasting results (8-10 years). Aesthetic medicine targets wrinkles, volume loss, and muscle hyperactivity, providing temporary results without surgery. These approaches complement each other: aesthetic medicine can maintain facelift results or delay the need for surgery.
Absolutely. This is ideal. The consultation and treatment can take place on the same day. Plan to stay in Algiers for 2-3 days to allow the initial swelling to subside. You'll leave with visible results that will continue to improve over the following two weeks.
Yes: pregnancy, breastfeeding, active skin infections, certain autoimmune or neurological conditions, allergies to products. Dr. Madjoudz will review your medical history during the consultation.
The cost depends on the areas treated and the amount of product used. Pricing is typically determined per area (forehead, crow's feet, nasolabial folds, lips) or as a comprehensive "rejuvenation package." A transparent quote is provided prior to any treatment.
