Because Botox relaxes the muscles, the skin can no longer create wrinkles. Wrinkles are smoothed out with a Botox treatment.
There are many different areas (areas) in the face where Botox can be used. We have listed them for you:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
