Botox:
where and when first

It is an injection that adjusts muscle movement. The plan changes with the area and your schedule, so sort out those two first.

Book a consultation

Botox is an injection treatment that temporarily reduces muscle movement to ease expression lines or settle facial contours. Even within the same treatment, what is looked at and when the change appears differ by area, such as the glabella, forehead, jaw or calves. The area and the amount are decided during the exam, after looking at the muscle.

  • It differs by area

    Treating an expression line and treating muscle volume are judged differently. We start by telling which one concerns you.

  • The schedule is set backwards

    How long it takes for a change to show differs by area and by person. If you have an important date, tell us the date first.

Prepare your questions

Noting the points below makes the consultation quicker. You do not need to arrive with a product in mind.

  1. The area that bothers you most

    Be specific, such as the glabella, forehead, around the eyes, jaw or calves.

  2. When you last had it

    If you have had it before, when and in which area.

  3. How it felt then

    Anything that felt unnatural, or that seemed to wear off quickly.

  4. Medications you take

    If you take anything for muscles or nerves, or antibiotics, note the name.

  5. Pregnancy or breastfeeding

    If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning to be, please tell us.

  6. Important dates

    Dates you cannot move, such as an event or a shoot.

Before your consultation

What does Botox do?

It is an injection treatment that temporarily reduces muscle movement to ease expression lines or settle facial contours. The area and the amount are decided during the exam.

When does it show and how long does it last?

It differs by area and by person. If you have an important date, tell us the date first and we will set the timing together.

Does it hurt a lot?

A needle is involved, so a quick sting is possible, and its strength is not the same for everyone. Speak up at your visit if that worries you.

Is there anything to be careful about afterwards?

When you can start exercise, saunas or massage depends on the area. Please follow the guidance you receive after your exam.
