Face

Are you bothered by your wrinkles? Do you have an angry look or experience a heavy feeling around the eyes? Or do you suffer from recurring headaches?

Botox can provide relief for cosmetic and medical reasons. Botox is a muscle relaxant that temporarily prevents the treated muscle from contracting. Because the muscle no longer contracts properly, a wrinkle can no longer form in the skin. As a result, the skin becomes smoother and tighter. Wrinkles can thus be both reduced and prevented. A treatment with muscle relaxants gives about three to four months of results. After that, the treatment can be repeated.

What are the areas of the face?

Botox treatments in the face are often divided into zones. Popular zones to treat are the frown, the forehead and the crow's feet. These are wrinkles that appear in the face with age and give an aging look to the face. Treatment with botox causes these facial wrinkles to fade or even disappear, depending on the depth of the wrinkles.

How often should you repeat facial botox?

The average effect duration of botox is three to four months. When the effect of the botox wears off, it is recommended to repeat the treatment. In this way you can maintain the result properly and you do not have to keep starting from scratch. If the botox treatment is repeated regularly in the beginning, the muscles will get used to it, resulting in longer time intervals before repetition of the treatment is necessary again. 

What can and cannot you do after facial botox?

After treatment, it is important to ensure that the botox cannot move. For this purpose, it is important not to lie flat for the first six hours. Also, you should not rub or push into the treated joint. For the first two days, you should not exercise or lift heavy things. Also, visiting the sauna, spa or swimming pool is not recommended. This is because this will stimulate blood circulation to the skin, allowing the botox to be drained.
