Treatment Process
In a detailed consultation, I will first attempt to understand your desires and expectations. Then, a precise analysis of your facial proportions will follow, documented using our three-dimensional Vectra H2 system. This makes it much easier to discuss the available options to best meet your wishes.
The treatment itself takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the extent. By using the finest injection needles available on the market, the treatment is almost painless and generally leaves no traces. You can leave the practice immediately and resume your activities right away. You will start to notice the initial effects of the treatment after a few days, with the full effects taking about 10 days to set in. At a follow-up appointment after this period, we can assess your results and, if necessary, further optimize them. The results of a botulinum treatment typically last an average of 4 to 6 months and gradually fades during this time. The treatment can then be repeated. Regardless of whether you choose to be treated by me or a colleague, I always recommend entrusting yourself to the doctor you trust the most. During the first botulinum treatment with a new doctor, they need to assess the results based on their experience. In this area in particularly, it is very important that patient and practitioner "grow together”, as no immediate visible result can be assessed.
The optimal, personalized treatment will not be achieved in the first session. The better your doctor knows you and the effects of their treatment on you, the more targeted the subsequent treatments can be, and the happier you will be with your results.
Before the Treatment
Vor der Behandlung ist, wie bei jedem ärztlichen Eingriff Ihr schriftliches Einverständnis erforderlich, nachdem alle Fragen ausführlich geklärt wurden. Hierzu gehört auch, ob bei Ihnen vielleicht Umstände bestehen, die eine Botulinumbehandlung nicht zulassen. Dies wären z.B. eine Schwangerschaft oder bestimmte Nerven- oder Muskelerkrankungen. Bitte informieren Sie mich im persönlichen Gespräch.
Im Idealfall tragen Sie am Tag der Behandlung kein Makeup, andernfalls wird dieses in der Praxis entfernt, damit die Haut desinfiziert werden und Injektionen unter optimalen hygienischen Bedingungen durchgeführt werden können.
After the Treatment
After a botulinum treatment, it's advisable to avoid sunbathing, tanning beds, or sauna visits for 10 days. Also, strenuous activities that raise body temperature and metabolism should be avoided for about 2 days. To prevent unintended spreading of the substance, massages or pressure on the injection sites should be avoided.
