Today, botox has also become a popular treatment in the Netherlands. It is – by far – the most common cosmetic treatment. It provides a minimally invasive way to reduce wrinkles and lines. It is the ideal way to improve your appearance and look more youthful. Below are 5 tips if you are considering botox.
1. Know what botox can and cannot do:Botulinum toxin works by limiting muscle movement. By precisely targeting certain muscles in the face, wrinkles can be reduced. Other wrinkles, such as those caused by the sun, may see some improvement, but they are not the focus. Talk to your doctor to make sure he uses the best procedure for you.
2. Choose your doctor carefully:It goes without saying that no two people are the same. But it's worth looking out for when it comes to our faces, which are complicated. The face has more than 40 muscles alone. Add to that each individual's unique muscle mass, bone structure and skin characteristics, and it underlines why these injections really require expertise.
3. Remain flexible with regard to post-treatments:The injection effect is temporary, usually about three to six months. But patients should be aware that continued use will make the effects last longer. Making adjustments can support a consistent natural look.
4. For starters, consider a conservative approach:Botox has been extended from the forehead to other areas of the face, which is good because it expands patients' options. At the same time, however, it is good to be aware that certain areas, such as the lower part of the face, are more complex. Starting with lower doses can prevent overdoing it. More can be added later.
5. Talk to Your Doctor About Combining Procedures:Recent research suggests there is a synergistic boost when "botox" is combined with other procedures, such as lasers and fillers, as well as topical products that patients can use on their own. Discussing a holistic approach with your doctor provides an opportunity to accentuate the desired results.
