Botox
We use our jaw muscles to chew. If this muscle is trained a lot, for example when you grind your teeth, the muscle can grow considerably. As a result, the jaw will look bulkier and squarer. A V-shaped jawline can be created with the help of Botox. Once Botox is injected into the jaw muscle, it prevents the muscles from contracting. Over time, the mass will decrease and the muscle will shrink in size.
The effect
After a treatment with Botox, it always takes two weeks for the Botox to start working. The volume of the jaw muscle then decreases somewhat in volume, but the optimal result needs a little more time. Sometimes, if the muscle is very strong, the optimal result is even after a second treatment. So be patient and the result will be a slimmer face.

Botox brands we use
Botox® is a brand name for botulinum toxin. Other brands we use are Dysport® and Bocouture®. These are all premium brands: they are extremely safe, work well and have been used millions of times. Botulinum toxin is a natural protein and falls under the Medicines Act.
The Procedure of the Treatment
The treatment procedure consists of the following parts: a free intake of 10 minutes, the administrative processing, the treatment itself, instructions from the doctor for the best possible result and a check-up appointment if needed.
Personal Advice
Our doctors have a lot of knowledge about anatomy and the physiological aging process. They have also performed thousands of botox treatments to their satisfaction. They will therefore be able to provide you with good, personal advice. This consultation takes place during a non-binding intake, 10 minutes before the treatment starts. It is also possible to schedule a separate intake. During the consultation, the doctor listens carefully to your wishes and tells you what the options are.
Before the Treatment
We ask you to be present 15 minutes in advance for the administrative processing and the intake interview. We also recommend that you do not take any blood-thinning medication or drink alcohol 48 hours in advance.
The Treatment
If you sit on the chair in the treatment room, the doctor will disinfect your skin and mark the puncture locations. He will then inject the botox in tiny amounts into the muscles surrounding the affected wrinkles. After a few small injections, the treatment is ready. In total it takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
After the Treatment
We recommend that you follow the doctor's instructions after the treatment for optimal results. You may experience slight swelling and bruising after the treatment, but this will disappear quickly. The effect of botox is visible after 3 to 4 days. But the final result is visible after 2 weeks. Usually the effect of botox lasts 3 to 5 months. But if you have botox injected for the first time, you will have to come back sooner for a retreat. Botox needs a build-up time of several months. The more often you use botox, the better and longer the result.
Check-up, after-treatment and re-treatment
You can come back for a check-up after 2 to a maximum of 3 weeks. The doctor will then evaluate the treatment with you and plan a new treatment.
