Remove wrinkles with botox

A botox treatment for wrinkles is available from €105. The exact price depends on the number of areas treated and the amount of Botox required. During the no-obligation consultation, our doctors will discuss the price based on your specific wishes and situation.

Injectables is a collective term for products that are injected with a needle. Botulinum toxin (botox) and fillers are products with a completely different effect. Botox relaxes the muscles, which also relaxes the skin. A filler plumps up the skin, for example under wrinkles, but also in lips, cheeks and cheekbones.

If you stop using Botox, your wrinkles will gradually return to how they were before the treatment. They will not get worse than before – this is a common misconception. The effect slowly diminishes over 3-6 months as the muscles become more active again and wrinkles reappear. So, you can always stop whenever you want without negative consequences. The only difference is that you will regain the wrinkles you naturally have. For people who have used botox for many years, the preventive effect may persist; some wrinkles are less deeply etched because the muscles have been relaxed for years.

On the contrary! Because the area treated with botulinum toxin has been inactive for a few months, the skin has had a good chance to recover. Furthermore, you haven't deepened the wrinkles by not using those muscles for a period. You may even have somewhat unlearned how to use that muscle. The frown line is a good example of this. After your frown has been inactive for some time, you will naturally frown much less.

Although the substance itself wears off after 3-6 months, it does have a permanently improving effect on the treated area. This is certainly true when botulinum toxin has been used for a longer period (several years). This is because the area has not been able to move for several years. Also, the fine lines in the skin have not deepened and have often completely recovered. You have essentially paused time. You have also unlearned to use the muscle in question. As a result, you will, for example, frown less than before. This leads to a lasting improvement in this area. Some studies even show that for the reasons described above, after a few years of botulinum toxin use, you can stop for a year.

Botulinum toxin (Botox) is a naturally occurring protein derived from a bacterium. Injecting it blocks nerve impulses, causing the muscles to relax. This prevents wrinkles from becoming deeper. Botox is a brand name for botulinum toxin. At The Body Clinic, we use the Azzalure brand of botulinum toxin.

The result of a Botox treatment for wrinkles typically lasts 3-6 months. The maximum effect is visible after 1-2 weeks, after which the wrinkles gradually soften. Subsequently, the effect slowly diminishes as new nerve endings grow, replacing the blocked ones. With repeated treatments, the duration of effect can extend to 4-9 months, as the muscles become increasingly accustomed to the relaxed state. For a lasting result, regular repetitions are necessary, initially every 3-4 months, and later possibly with longer intervals.

A Botox treatment for wrinkles is generally considered well-tolerated. You will feel several small pricks, similar to a mosquito bite. On a scale of 0-10, the pain is typically around a 3. The perception of pain depends on the treated area – the forehead and crow's feet are usually less sensitive, while areas like the frown lines or around the lips might be slightly more sensitive. The treatment only takes 10-20 minutes, depending on how many areas are treated.

After a Botox anti-wrinkle treatment, remain upright for the first four hours and avoid bending or lying down. For the first 24 hours, do not touch the treated area and avoid intense exercise, sauna, swimming, alcohol, and exaggerated facial expressions. Facial treatments, peels, and massages are not allowed during the first week. You can immediately return to your daily activities. Slight redness or swelling will disappear within a few hours to days, and the effect will gradually become visible in 1-2 weeks.
