Botox helps against wrinkles

Because Botox relaxes the muscles, the skin can no longer create wrinkles. Wrinkles are smoothed out with a Botox treatment.

Which Botox treatments are available?

There are many different areas (areas) in the face where Botox can be used. We have listed them for you:

  • Frown wrinkle
  • Forehead wrinkle
  • Crow's feet
  • Eyebrow lift
  • Face slimming
  • Lip flip
  • Liquid facelift
  • Nose lift
  • Gummy smile
  • Hanging corners of the mouth
  • Bunny lines
  • Neck wrinkles

How long does a Botox treatment take?

This varies by zone, depending on the size of the area that needs to be treated. In most cases, the treatment only takes a few minutes.

Does a Botox treatment hurt?

Of course, you will feel a few small pricks, but the pain is not so bad. By using very thin needles, it feels like a small pinprick. An anaesthetic is therefore not necessary for the treatment.

How long will you see results from a Botox treatment?

After 3 days, the Botox starts to work. A few days later, you will already see more than half the result and within 2 weeks, the whole result of the botox treatment will be visible.

How long does Botox work?

The effect of botox is between 3 to 4 months. It varies by person and zone, depending on how strong the muscles are. The more you repeat a Botox treatment, the longer the effect will last.

What else is botox used for?

Botox is not only used to reduce wrinkles but has also been used in the medical world for 40 years. For example, it can help against teeth grinding, excessive sweating, and migraines.

Botox aftercare

After a botox treatment, it is important that you do not massage or rub the area for 48 hours. The use of the tanning bed and sauna is also not desirable until 48 hours after the treatment.

Shall we get acquainted?

Do you already know what you want, or do you want more information first? Together with the cosmetic doctor, you will discuss the options and receive a personal treatment plan. The first consultation is always free of charge.
