Lines caused by ageing, frequent facial expressions, sun damage and reduced elasticity can become permanent over time. Botox works on these lines, refreshing your appearance and slowing down the pace of ageing.
How Does Botox Work?
Botox temporarily reduces muscle activity in the treated area, minimising the visibility of wrinkles. The muscle is not switched off completely; the aim is not an artificial, expressionless face but softer and more controlled expressions. You keep your natural look while gaining smoother skin. Effects usually start to appear within a few days, and full results take about a week.
Which Areas Can Be Treated?
Botox is not only for the forehead and eye area; it can be used for many aesthetic and medical purposes. Frown lines between the brows, crow's feet, forehead lines, lines at the root of the nose and fine wrinkles around the lips can all be softened effectively. It also gives successful therapeutic results for teeth clenching, migraine, excessive sweating and a gummy smile. Thanks to this wide range of uses, Botox offers a holistic touch that rejuvenates the overall expression of the face.
The Procedure and Afterwards
Botox is a quick and comfortable treatment that lets you return to daily life straight away. After the skin is cleansed, the doctor injects small doses at the points chosen for your needs. The procedure is completed within a few minutes. You can carry on with your social life; for the first 24 hours simply avoid intense facial movements, hot showers and saunas. Slight redness or tiny marks may appear but disappear quickly.
Natural-Looking Results
One of the most common questions is whether Botox makes the face look artificial. With the right dose, the right areas and the right technique, Botox does not create a frozen expression. On the contrary, it gives a livelier, more energetic and more rested look. Planning the treatment individually is essential both for natural results and for preserving the character of your face.
How Long Do the Effects Last?
The effect of Botox lasts on average 4 to 6 months. When repeated at regular intervals, wrinkles deepen more slowly and the skin becomes smoother. In some people the effect lasts longer, depending on muscle structure, how expressive the face is and lifestyle. Regular treatment keeps lines under control and preserves a youthful expression for longer.
Advantages of Botox
The greatest advantages of Botox are the very short procedure time and the quick results. It refreshes the face, reduces wrinkles and gives a livelier look without surgery. Because it does not take you away from daily life, it is one of the most popular methods. Its therapeutic effects also make it more than an aesthetic touch: it is a functional solution.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is Botox?
Botox is a safe medical aesthetic treatment that softens wrinkles and stops lines from deepening by reducing the movement of the facial muscles in a controlled way. It does not freeze your expression; it only regulates excessive muscle movement.
Does Botox hurt?
Very fine needles are used and the procedure is very short. Most people describe only a slight pricking sensation. An anaesthetic cream can be applied beforehand if you wish.
When does Botox start to work?
The first changes become noticeable within 2 to 4 days. The results fully settle in about 7 to 10 days.
Will Botox give me an artificial look?
No. Botox performed with the right dose and technique does not freeze your expression. It gives a more rested, livelier and natural look. An artificial appearance only results from incorrect application.
Results vary from person to person. Whether this treatment is right for you is decided together with our specialist at your consultation.
