During the consultation you will receive the necessary information about the treatment and together we will discuss your wishes and expectations. The doctor will explain to you, which treatment is most suitable for you and will give you an honest advice about the expected result.

During the treatment, very small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected into the muscle. Botox blocks the transmission of impulses from the nerves to the muscles, causing the muscle to relax and the skin above it to glide. Because the needle is very thin and fine, the treatment will cause little pain.

After the treatment you may go home immediately, and you can resume your daily activities.  Maybe your skin is a little red or swollen, but this will go away a few hours after treatment. Cooling with ice packs if necessary, can make the redness and swelling disappear sooner. For a week, avoid excessive sun exposure.

Complications with this treatment are rare. Allergic reactions are virtually not seen. In exceptional cases, ptosis may occur. This is a temporary phenomenon. The cosmetic doctor will therefore always carefully consider which wrinkles are eligible for treatment.

A very limited group of people have antibodies against Botox. They will have no or insufficient effect. If you have a nerve or muscle disorder, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding you should avoid this treatment.

After a Botox treatment, your wrinkles fade away or sometimes even completely disappear. After two weeks, the effect is optimally visible because the muscle responsible for the wrinkles is then most relaxed. How long the results last vary for each person. It will take a minimum of three to six months for the botulinum toxin to wear off, after which the treatment can be repeated without any problems.
