Botuline

Botulinum toxin (known as Botox®) is one of the most popular and most requested cosmetic procedures. This is a safe, effective, quick treatment for reducing or eliminating facial lines. Botuline is ideal for treating crow’s feet, frown lines, horizontal forehead lines, worry lines around the mouth, lines on either side of the nose, and lines or bands on the neck for a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.

Botuline Toxin is used to treat a range of conditions:

Wrinkles

Although it's a pleasure to smile often, it may also develop crow's feet around the eyes. Botulinum toxin can soften these lines as well as soften or even eliminate the furrow lines/frown lines (frown wrinkles between the eyebrows) and forehead wrinkles.

With this procedure, a cosmetic doctor will inject a small quantity of muscle relaxant into the facial expression muscles. This is done with a very fine needle so that you barely feel a thing during the wrinkle treatment. The most commonly treated zones are:

Frown wrinkles (glabella between the eyebrows)
Forehead wrinkles
Crow's feet (near the eyes)
Eyebrows (muscle that lifts the eyebrow)
Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)
Corners of the mouth (smile lift)
Chin (witch's chin or dimples in the chin)

Excessive Sweating

Muscle relaxants are not only used to smooth wrinkles but also have medical benefits and are used by our doctors to treat excessive sweating of for example the armpits, hands and feet. Excessive perspiration of these areas (hyperhidrosis) can be a huge discomfort for the patient and often leads to a lack of self-esteem and shame. Treatments with botulin have very good results and bring massive relief to the patient. Our doctors will inform you about all the options and details of the treatment.

Migraine

Botuline can also bring relief to many people who suffer from chronic migraines. For this treatment, Botuline is injected around pain fibers that are involved in headaches. It enters the nerve endings around where it is injected and blocks the release of chemicals involved in pain transmission. This prevents the activation of pain networks in the brain.

Botuline prevents migraine headaches before they start, but takes time to work. It often takes two or three treatments for the best results.

Make sure you ask our doctors all the questions you might have on this procedure.

Gummy Smile

Always covering your mouth with your hand when laughing? Showing too much gums when laughing can make you feel very insecure. But it just means that probably the muscles that pull up your upper low are working too hard. Fortunately we can easily resolve this with a few botuline injections. It will give you that perfect smile for a longer period of time.

Within already a few days you will notice a difference and after a week the result will be optimal. The botuline effect lasts for about 3 to 6 months. Considering this smile to be yours forever? Then we advise you to repeat this treatment which will be easy and effective.

Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)

Bruxism is the medical term for unconscious teeth clenching and grinding, either while awake or asleep, which can lead to physical painful and severe dental problems. Chronic teeth grinding can cause headaches, earaches, facial pain, and even migraines. Dental problems from bruxism include loss of tooth enamel, increased tooth sensitivity, and flattening and/or chipping of the teeth. Bruxism sufferers who grind and clench their teeth while sleeping frequently wake up with a sore jaw. Hypertrophy of the masseter muscle, which may lead to the appearance of a severe square jaw, is another side effect of bruxism. Treatments with Botuline can provide tremendous relief from jaw soreness, headaches, and other unpleasant problems associated with Bruxism. It can also soften the appearance of the jawline.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Botuline?

Botuline Toxin is a muscle relaxant, known by everyone under the name Botox. Botox is a brand name, just like Dysport, BoCouture, Azzalure and Vistabel. The active substance in all these products is Botulinum toxin. Botox is a medication. It blocks the transmission of nerve impulses from the nerves to the muscles. As a result, it reduces the strength of the muscles. This relaxes the facial muscles and your wrinkles fade.

Can Botuline be used for other treatments as well?

Yes it can. Muscle relaxants are not only used to smooth wrinkles, but also have medical benefits and are used by our doctors to treat: Migraine (tension headache), Excessive underarm perspiration as well as that of the hands and feet (hyperhidrosis), Grinding of the teeth (bruxism), Gummy smile.

How much does a Botuline treatment cost?

The price of a botuline treatment depends on the number of zones that are treated. We charge a price per zone. One zone, for example, is frown lines, forehead wrinkles or crow's feet. The more zones you have treated in one session the cheaper it is in proportion.

For which wrinkles is botuline suitable?

Frown lines, forehead wrinkles and crown's feet as well as wrinkles on the nose, chin and corners of the mouth are suitable for the treatment. Wrinkles in the skin appear in these areas due to the frequent contraction of the muscles, in short, our facial expressions. After the Botox treatment your skin no longer contracts so it is restored. As a result superficial wrinkles also fade eventually.

How long does the treatment take?

A Botox session lasts between 5 and 15 minutes, depending on the number of zones you want treated. It lasts half an hour altogether, including the consultation before the treatment.

Is the treatment painful?

Botox is injected into the muscles with an extremely fine needle. The small injections are not usually painful.

When will I see the results?

Botox starts to work a few days following the injection. You gradually see a small improvement in the wrinkles. Two weeks later the effect is optimal, your wrinkles are much shallower. Over the next couple of weeks your skin becomes increasingly smooth.

How long does the effect last?

On average between 3 and 9 months, after which the effect gradually wears off and you need a repeat treatment. The results last longer if you have had several treatments. Furrowed grooves or deep wrinkles will need to be treated more often in the initial phase, usually every 3 to 4 months.

Is Botox safe?

Botox is an exceptionally safe medication that has been used in medicine since 1979. Botox only works on the muscle that has been treated and has no effect on the rest of the body. The effects of Botox are localised, limited to a small area around the injected site.

Does Botox have side effects?

Skin rash, itchiness, headache, flue-like symptoms and a slightly drooping eyelid. However any side effects are extremely rare and are temporary. Directly after the injection, the skin may feel sensitive and tiny lumps and bruises may be visible. These are nothing to worry about. They all disappear very quickly.
