Cosmetic doctor from The Body Clinic: "To ensure that the botulinum toxin is absorbed more quickly, the advice is to actively contract your muscles a few times after the treatment."
Frowning, winking, or looking surprised. "The type of movement depends on the treatment. Frowning for your frown lines, winking in the case of crow's feet, and looking surprised if you've just had your forehead wrinkles treated with Botox."
Faster results
That Botox is absorbed more quickly by moving your face does not mean you will see results sooner. "It still takes 2 to 14 days before you see the effect of the treatment. Moving only reduces the chance of complications." If the Botox is absorbed more quickly, it can spread less easily. "As long as the Botox has not yet been absorbed, it could potentially spread to another muscle group. But even if you don't tense your muscles after the treatment, the chance of that is still minimal."
"There are even studies that show that Botox that is not absorbed within 4 hours is broken down by your body and rendered ineffective.**"
Looking surprised
So it's really not necessary to walk around with a surprised face constantly after the treatment. "You can also overdo it. You certainly don't have to actively tense your facial muscles a lot. That will only give you a headache. It's more a matter of consciously frowning a few times right after the treatment." So do move your face actively, but keep other sporting activities to a minimum. Monique: "Running, cycling, body pump, and to be safe, don't stand on your head, to prevent any risk of Botox spreading."

Additionally, Rose is a lecturer in medicine at the University of Groningen. After completing her medical specialist training as an Orthopaedic Surgeon at the UMCG in Groningen, she obtained a super-specialization in performing restorative surgeries, focusing on worn and malfunctioning artificial knees. However, she chose to follow her passion for creativity, symmetry, and human connection – and now works as a cosmetic doctor. **Aging gracefully, on your terms** "It's not bad to grow old – but we now have the choice to age gracefully on our own terms. I can help you with that, with sincere and personal advice. For me, the goal is achieved when people compliment you on how good you look, not when they realize you've had a treatment. It should compliment, not stand out. That is the essence of natural cosmetic medicine. I treat clients as I would like to be treated myself: with personal attention, time, and precision. A treatment plan always differs per person, both in terms of wishes and results. That's why I find it important that both the doctor and the client fully support the plan – only then will you achieve the most beautiful result," says Rose. **Specialist in harmonization** At The Body Clinic, we regularly receive questions from people to remove excess fillers, placed by another clinic, and to treat them with a natural result. Rose is the specialist at The Body Clinic in the 'harmonization' of injectables. Rose helps people restore balance in their face by dissolving overly placed filler and providing them with a natural-looking treatment. In this way, she creates a fresh, natural appearance without removing all fillers. "Less is more" – that principle is central to her work. In addition to harmonization treatments, Rose mainly focuses on minor surgical procedures such as NeckTite and upper eyelid corrections. Given her extensive knowledge and experience in the field of surgery, her clients are in excellent hands. Rose is an ambitious, genuinely honest medical specialist who is always looking for new developments and techniques within cosmetic medicine. She regularly attends conferences and follows training courses to keep her skills up-to-date and provide the best care.
