THE FIRST 4 HOURS
After botox, it is all about the first 4 hours
At Soap it is called botulinum toxin, and after your treatment you give the product the first 4 hours to stay where the doctor placed it. That is how you get the most out of your result.
Stay upright during those hours and do not bend over. Skip exercise, the sauna, sun and sunbeds, leave make-up and excessive alcohol for later and do not rub or massage the treated area. After that, you simply carry on with your day.
)
TAKE A BREAK
Exercise after botox: after 4 hours it is fine again
Skip exercise and other exertion for the first 4 hours after your treatment. That way, the botulinum toxin stays exactly where the doctor placed it.
So simply plan your workout later in the day or the next morning. After those first 4 hours, you are good to go.

SWEET DREAMS
Lying down and sleeping after botox
The general guideline is to stay upright for the first 4 hours after your treatment and not to lie flat. So plan a nap on the sofa later in the day.
On the first night, sleep on your back if you can.
)
HOLD THE DRINK
Alcohol after botox
Leave excessive alcohol for the first 4 hours after your treatment, just like exercise, the sauna and make-up.

GLOW, LATER
Sun, sunbeds and sauna after botox
Skip UV light and the sauna for the first 4 hours: so no sun, sunbed or sauna visit straight after your appointment. That way, the botulinum toxin stays where the doctor placed it.
After that, you simply enjoy the sun or an afternoon at the sauna again.
)
BARE FACE, FIRST
Make-up after botox: bare face first
Skip make-up for the first 4 hours. Do not rub or massage the treated area during those hours either.
Washing your face? Gently pat your skin dry with a soft towel afterwards. Plan a facial treatment only after those first 4 hours.

RESULTS RESULTS RESULTS
How the result of botox builds up
You usually see the first effects within 2 to 7 days, with the full result after about 2 weeks. On average, a treatment lasts 3 to 6 months, depending on your muscles and the zone.
Our doctors work with the No Trace Face® technique: nobody sees that you have been treated, only that you look fresher and more rested. During your free consult, the doctor looks at which zones suit your wishes, and the botulinum toxin price list shows what it costs per zone.

"I have had a botulinum toxin treatment with Dr. Dionne Deibel and am very satisfied with the result. I have one eyebrow that has a lot of muscle activity and pulls up, and she has managed to bring it down, which is quite an art. She is friendly, listens to your wishes, and is sympathetic and a good doctor."
