What is acne?
Acne is a common skin condition that affects the face, chest, and back. It is caused by clogged pores and overproduction of oil. Acne can be embarrassing and cause stress or anxiety, especially in teenagers and young adults.
Botox helps reduce sebum production
The main way Botox works to reduce acne is by reducing sebum production. Sebum is an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands. When too much sebum is produced, it clogs the pores and leads to acne. By reducing sebum production, Botox can help reduce the amount of acne-causing bacteria on the skin.
Botox helps reduce inflammation
Botox can also reduce inflammation, one of the main causes of acne. Inflammation is caused by an increase in the production of substances called cytokines, which are responsible for inflammation. By blocking the production of cytokines, Botox can reduce inflammation and make acne disappear.
Acne scars can be reduced by Botox
In addition to reducing inflammation and sebum production, Botox can also help reduce acne scars. Acne scars are caused by the skin's attempt to repair itself after damage from acne. Botox helps reduce acne scars by relaxing the muscles around the scar. By relaxing these muscles, Botox helps smooth the skin and make the scar less visible.
Consult an experienced cosmetic doctor
Botox is an effective treatment for acne and can be used in combination with other treatments, such as creams or laser treatments. It is important to consult a doctor before using Botox, as it can have side effects such as redness, bruising, and swelling.
Overall, Botox is a safe and effective way to reduce acne. It can reduce sebum production, counteract inflammation, and reduce acne scars. It is important to consult a cosmetic doctor before using Botox, as it can have side effects. With the help of a doctor, Botox can be used to reduce and even remedy acne.

Nicoline has been working in cosmetic medicine since 2015 and has performed over 30,000 Botox and filler treatments in recent years. Nicoline is registered with the Profile Register Cosmetic Medicine as a Cosmetic Doctor KNMG and is a member of the Dutch Association for Cosmetic Medicine (NVCG). In addition, she was an educator for a long time and, in that capacity, trained various cosmetic doctors and provided training sessions. To stay informed of the latest techniques and products, Nicoline regularly attends conferences at home and abroad. **Honesty and naturalness – that is my starting point** "For me, cosmetic medicine revolves around one thing: a beautiful, natural result where you recognize yourself, but look just a little fresher and more rested. I work carefully and safely, listen carefully to what you want and what you don't want, and give honest advice – even if something turns out not to be necessary. Not every wrinkle needs to be treated. Not every area needs extra volume. My role is to advise what *does* work and what is better left undone. Because 'less is more' is not just a nice saying – it is the core of my working method. Through my many years of experience, both as a practitioner and as an educator, I know exactly how to make subtle improvements that suit your natural face. It's not about nobody seeing that you've had a treatment – it's about everyone seeing how good you look," says Nicoline. **Experience & specializations** - Cosmetic Doctor KNMG since 2015 - 30,000+ Botox and filler treatments - Former educator of cosmetic doctors - Registered in the Profile Register Cosmetic Medicine - Member of the Dutch Association for Cosmetic Medicine (NVCG) - Internationally trained and up-to-date with the latest techniques
