Botox and Fillers? Only by certified physician

Botox injectables, also known as botulinum toxin, are a popular treatment for wrinkles and fine lines. The injectables are made from a purified protein that temporarily makes the muscles in the injection area function less. When the muscles are paralyzed, they can no longer contract and cause wrinkles, leaving the skin smoother and more youthful.

Where can Botox be used?

Botox is most commonly used on the forehead, between the eyebrows and around the eyes. It can also be used to elevator eyebrows, smooth neck bands and even reduce excessive sweating. The results of Botox injections usually last three to four months before the muscles begin to contract again, after which the treatment must be repeated to maintain the desired effects.

One of the main advantages of Botox injectables is that it is a nonsurgical treatment, making it a safer and less invasive option for reducing wrinkles and fine lines. The procedure itself is relatively quick. Note that the treatment is only performed by an NVCG certified cosmetic doctor, KNMG accredited. Most people can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.

There are some possible side effects of Botox injectables, including swelling, bruising and pain at the injection site. These side effects are generally mild and disappear on their own within a few days. In rare cases, more serious side effects may occur, such as allergic reactions or infections. It is important to discuss any concerns with a qualified clinic staff member before starting treatment with Botox injectables.

In addition to Botox, there are other injectable treatments that can be used to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Fillers, for example, are injectables used to plump the skin and fill in wrinkles and folds. These treatments add volume to the skin, fading wrinkles and making the skin look more youthful and radiant.

There are many different types of fillers available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Some popular options include hyaluronic acid fillers, which are made from a substance found naturally in the skin.

While Botox and fillers can be effective treatments to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, it’s important to keep in mind that these treatments work best when combined with good skin care and a healthy lifestyle. For healthy, youthful-looking skin, it is important to protect the skin from the sun, not smoke and follow a healthy diet and exercise. Want good advice? Stop by Van Lennep Kliniek.
