Botox gives your muscles a rest, and those relaxed muscles allow us to address issues like wrinkles, migraines, excessive sweating, and teeth grinding. Botox is made from a substance called botulinum toxin, which immediately blocks the impulse transmission between the nerves and muscles. It prevents the muscles from tightening completely, causing them to relax.
Wrinkle treatment with Botox is incredibly effective and smoothes deep wrinkles.

At Clinic Doctor Frodo, you are guaranteed not just the most honest tailored advice and the best treatment, you can trust that the results will look perfectly natural.
Botulinum toxin blocks the nerve-to-muscle stimulus, reducing wrinkles.
Botulinum toxin is a protein produced by the Clostridium Botulinum toxin bacterium (BTX). The protein is injected into the muscle fibres in mimic muscles. These muscles are responsible for fine lines created by mimicry, things like frown lines and crow’s feet.
During a consultation, we will discuss the areas you want to treat and why. We won’t just go over your treatment goals, we will also take a look at your skin. We will use our insights and your goals to decide on the best treatment approach. Curious about our pricing structure for Botox treatments? Our blog, ‘The cost of Botox’, will tell you more.
It is important to compare different clinics before choosing your Botox treatment provider. We recommend choosing the best quality, even if it means a higher price tag. You may well get an unnatural-looking result at lower-cost clinics. We recommend choosing a clinic that is affiliated with the NVCG, even if another clinic is offering great deals.

You also shouldn’t pay too much attention to the different prices you see for Botox treatments. Don’t necessarily go with the cheapest treatment. The most important thing is that the clinic will give you the best results.
Botulinum toxin (Botox) prices are calculated per unit. For example, Allergan, who manufactures Botox, sets their prices at €2.50 per unit. Some clinics use cheaper brands of botulinum toxin. Those brands often haven’t been on the market as long, which means the long-term results are unclear.
I’m so happy that I got my Botox treatment and I’ve seen SUCH a difference. I’m not so focussed on my frown lines anymore. Debbie
Below you can see which areas we treat with Botox at Clinic Doctor Frodo.
Before your treatment, you will have a consultation. We will make sure there aren’t any medical issues contraindicating the treatment. Then we will work with you to draw up a plan.
With Botox treatment, there is minimal risk of side effects or bruising. To further reduce that risk, make sure you:
During Botox treatment, the protein is applied into the muscle with a needle. The treatment itself takes just a few minutes and feels like tiny pinpricks. There is no anaesthesia needed. The entire visit takes just thirty minutes, including a full consultation.
You shouldn’t lie down for the first two hours after treatment with botulinum toxin. You should also avoid exercising or massaging the area. We recommend actively using the treated muscles and contracting them regularly, by frowning, raising your eyebrows, and squeezing your eyes. Contracting the muscles can help extend your treatment results.
After the treatment, the skin may be slightly red as a response to the injections. This usually disappears within an hour. The effect of the Botox treatment will start 48 hours after the injection. The results will be clearly visible after 10 to 14 days. Because new nerve endings grow to replace the nerves, you will regain the ability to contract the muscles. The effects of Botox lasts 3 to 6 months.
Treating the area regularly can extend the effects. The results of Botox treatment are never permanent.
One major misconception is that Botox is used to plump up or enlarge lips, but that is actually done using fillers. However, you can use Botox to soften the corners of the mouth or improve a gummy smile.
Botox treatments have been used for more than 30 years with no problems. Still, some people fear the dangers. That is partly because botulinum toxin can be associated with botulism. Botulism poisoning develops when food is contaminated with the Clostridium Botulinum bacteria. It has nothing to do with the cosmetic treatment.
The known side effects of Botox include:
Risks and side effects are seen as one of the downsides of Botox treatment. People are also sometimes concerned that the skin will become too tight. In our Amsterdam clinic, we make sure to apply only small amounts to the muscle, so it won’t affect the shape of your face. You can also check our blogs to find more information about wrinkle removal or medical uses of Botox.
