BOTULINUM TOXIN

Relax muscles, smooth wrinkles, release tension.

Botulinum toxin, often called "Botox", relaxes muscles to smooth expression lines and release tension. This treatment serves both aesthetic and therapeutic purposes for a naturally refreshed and relaxed look.

01

Botulinum toxin

Scientific foundations and mechanism of action.

Botulinum toxin is a highly purified protein that temporarily interrupts the nerve signals responsible for muscle contraction. When administered with precision to the face—or other targeted areas of the body—it gently relaxes the underlying muscles, smoothing dynamic lines to reveal a naturally refreshed and revitalized appearance.

Beyond its aesthetic applications, this treatment is a versatile medical tool. By modulating specific nerve responses, it can calm truly overactive muscles to relieve physical tension, as well as regulate overactive sweat glands to address excessive perspiration. This provides targeted therapeutic relief that enhances your everyday comfort and well-being.

Individual timelines are subject to physiological variation, influenced by factors such as metabolism and lifestyle.

Your treatment results unfold according to the following timeline:

  • Initial onset: Initial effects typically emerge within 3–5 days.

  • Peak results: Optimal results are observed at 10 days, once the proteins have fully bound to the nerve receptors.

  • Duration: Results typically last 3–4 months. We recommend a renewal session around this time to maintain your refreshed appearance.

What to expect during your visit.

Key information to prepare you for your treatment session.

Your practitioner will reconfirm the details below to ensure you feel fully informed and confident before we proceed:

  • Session length: ~30 minutes

  • Sensation: Mild pinpricks; minimal discomfort

  • Downtime: Virtually no downtime; tiny bumps or redness may persist for 1 hour, and occasional light bruising is possible.

  • Follow-up: During your initial session, we discuss your goals and administer the precise amount of product required for your desired outcome. Please allow 10 days for these results to fully settle. If you feel a review is needed, send a clear photo via WhatsApp or email promptly after this window.

    Based on your photo, we will assess if a clinical correction (e.g. asymmetry) is necessary, which is included at no extra cost. If the treatment has settled correctly but you desire more product for a stronger effect, additional units are €10 per unit.

    Follow-ups cannot be guaranteed if requested more than 14 days after your initial appointment.

BEFORE- & AFTER-CARE

Preparing for your visit and recovery.

Follow the guidelines below for a smooth recovery and optimal treatment results.

Before your treatment:

  • To minimize bruising and bleeding, please refrain from taking all blood-thinning medications for 48 hours prior to your treatment, unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider.

  • Ensure your face is clean and entirely free of makeup upon arrival for your appointment.

  • Refrain from consuming alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to your appointment to reduce the risk of bruising and dehydration.

After your treatment:

  • Maintain an upright position for at least four hours following your treatment to prevent product migration.

  • Refrain from touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent irritation and allow the skin to heal undisturbed.

  • Avoid vigorous exercise and sports for 24 hours post-treatment to minimize bruising, prevent increased swelling, and ensure the product settles correctly.

  • Avoid hot baths, saunas, and intense heat for 48 hours post-treatment to minimize swelling and prevent skin irritation.

  • Monitor the treated area for signs of infection, such as persistent redness or increasing swelling, and contact your clinician immediately if you have concerns.
