With the warmer weather and longer days, it's the perfect time to get a little 'refreshed'. However, it is important to keep in mind that a follow-up appointment is scheduled two weeks after the treatments, so you should take into account any vacation plans.
Botox treatment in the summer
If you are interested in a Botox treatment, you might be wondering when to start. Many people think that injectable treatments are not possible in the summer, but nothing could be further from the truth. The sun has no negative effect on a Botox treatment. However, it is important to protect the skin from the sun's UV rays after a Botox treatment to achieve the best results.
What is a Botox treatment?
Botox is a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment that can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines. The treatment consists of small injections of a purified protein obtained naturally into specific facial muscles. This protein helps relax the muscles and prevents the formation of wrinkles. The results can last up to four months.
Filler treatment in the summer
Fillers are another popular treatment that can help reduce wrinkles. Just like Botox, this treatment is also possible in the summer. Fillers are injected into the skin to fill wrinkles and add volume to, for example, the cheeks, lips and chin. The results of these treatments can last up to twelve months, making it a good option for those who want to look their best for the summer.
Follow-up appointment
It is important to know that a two-week follow-up appointment takes place after Botox and filler treatments. This is to ensure that the treatments are working well and that no side effects or adverse reactions have occurred. So if you are planning a summer vacation, it is important to keep this in mind and book the treatment about 4 weeks before your planned vacation.
The beauty of both Botox and fillers is that they are very safe treatments with minimal downtime. Most people can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment. However, it is important to note that side effects such as bruising and swelling may occur, so it is best to avoid sun exposure and strenuous activities for the first few days after the treatment.
In short, Botox and filler treatments can be a great way to refresh your appearance for the summer. However, it is important to keep in mind that you should not go on a summer vacation immediately after the treatment and take the follow-up appointment into account. Do you want to shine this summer? Book your appointment well in advance of your vacation.
