All about botox

“Botox, what is it really? And how does it work exactly? Dr. Frodo from Clinic Doctor Frodo tells you everything about botox, a substance that has been used in medicine for about 30 years. In the past, botox was mainly used as a medicine. Nowadays, botox is increasingly used during cosmetic treatments. Sometimes based on a medical indication.

Botox treatment

Botox can be administered to different areas of the face for various reasons. Botox, for example, reduces facial wrinkles such as frown lines and crow's feet, but also remedies drooping corners of the mouth. These are examples of cosmetic procedures involving botox. When botox is used on the basis of a medical indication, this may be to relax the masticatory muscle in case of bruxism or to excessive perspiration to counteract.

Is Botox dangerous?

One of the most frequently asked questions: “Is botox dangerous?” A huge number of studies have now shown that botox is a safe drug. However, we do not recommend using botox when you are pregnant. In that case, we don't want to run any risks.

When to start botox?

When you can start taking botox does not immediately depend on age. The decision to undergo a botox treatment is a very personal one. Do you think you are ready for a treatment with botox? Then feel free to ask us a talc Sun. Together with you, we will look at the options and your expectations. We do this on the basis of a 3D photo that we take prior to the appointment. During the call, which lasts approximately half an hour, you are free to ask as many questions as you like. Do your wishes and the possibilities of botox match? Then we will discuss the treatment plan with you and get to work, possibly immediately. Of course, you can also take a look at the information you receive during the conversation at home and think about it calmly.

Botox preventative

We do not provide preventive botox treatment at Clinic Doctor Frodo. We do not support prevention treatments with botox. So we only treat with botox when it is necessary from a cosmetic or medical point of view.

Botox result

After the botox treatment, which only takes a few minutes, people sometimes see results after just one day. Others often see results after a few days or a week. Two weeks after the treatment, we will invite you for a check-up. Together with you, we will look at whether the desired botox result has been achieved and whether another treatment may be necessary. No costs will then be charged for this treatment. The results of the botox treatment remain visible for about 4 to 6 months. To maintain the effect, you must keep repeating botox. The more often the treatment is repeated, the fewer wrinkles remain. This is because the muscle into which we inject the botox is sagging a little more and is therefore more difficult to draw the line or wrinkle in the skin. If a wrinkle is very deep, you may want to use a filler be treated.
