AROUND THE MOUTH
When puckering the lips, vertical lines can appear in the skin around the mouth. These are often called smokers' lines, but people who don't smoke can also suffer from this.
By making the muscle slightly less strong in some places with Botox, these lines can be prevented from developing or becoming deeper. The result of this treatment is generally very subtle, in many cases a small amount of filler in the skin and/or lips will give a better result.

TREATMENT
During the consultation we discuss your wishes and everything is explained.
Botox is injected into the muscle with an ultra-thin needle. Small red bumps may be visible in the places where the injection has been made, these will disappear within an hour. Sometimes a small bruise occurs, this usually disappears within a few days. You can safely use camouflage or arnica ointment after 60 minutes if necessary.
​
After 4-5 days you will see that it starts to take effect, after 14 days it works completely.
​
For optimal results, it is best to avoid heat (sun/sauna) for 24 hours, do not exercise and do not massage the treated area.
​
Once the movement returns, the treatment can be repeated.
EFFECT
Because the mouth is so mobile and the muscle is only partially relaxed, the effect wears off faster, on average you can enjoy it for 6-8 weeks.
​​
Reduce creases due to movement (dynamic lines)
The skin gets time to recover
Wrinkles at rest (static lines) soften or disappear over months
