Botuline treatment (Botox)

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)

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. 

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.

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.
