Botox treatment in Haarlem at Soap

A Botox treatment should not stand out, only refresh. At Doctors At Soap in Haarlem we work with attention to proportion and expression, so it just looks good, not treated. Before you make an appointment, there are a few things to think about. Here are the answers to the questions that really matter.

Who performs the treatment, and is that person qualified?

Botox is a medical treatment and belongs with a doctor experienced in injectables. In our clinic, we have cosmetic doctors who work with these kinds of treatments every day. You can always find us in the BIG register. Check with each clinic how often they treat forehead, frown, and crow's feet, and whether they have experience with medical applications such as migraine or excessive sweating.

What is the reason for my treatment, cosmetic or medical?

Botox is widely applicable. Cosmetically, we use it for frown lines, forehead lines, crow's feet, a brow lift, gummy smile, or drooping mouth corners. Medically, it helps with chronic migraine, teeth grinding, excessive underarm sweating, and jaw tension. During the intake, we discuss whether your complaint is cosmetic or medical and whether there are alternatives such as fillers or skin boosters.

What are the possible side effects in the short and long term?

Botox is safe when used correctly, but it remains a medical treatment. Sometimes occurring: redness or a bruise on the injection site, mild headache, a heavy feeling in the treated area, or temporary muscle weakness. Rarer is a temporarily drooping eyelid, asymmetry, or double vision. In the long term, your facial expressions remain, only overactive muscles are temporarily inhibited.

What can I expect from the result, and when?

The effect usually starts after two to five days and is fully visible around day ten to fourteen. Cosmetically, it lasts on average three to four months, sometimes up to six. Medically (migraine, bruxism, hyperhidrosis), it often lasts four to six months. We schedule a standard check-up after two weeks to see if it's in the right place.

What is the long-term treatment plan?

Once is fine, but many people choose structural maintenance. A treatment plan adapts to your natural aging, lifestyle, and wishes. We advise on how often repetition is useful for your indication, and offer touch-ups and aftercare consultations where needed. The plan evolves with you.

What if I'm not satisfied with the result?

No treatment is one hundred percent predictable. Does it feel too subtle, or do you see something you didn't expect? Come back. We discuss what can be done and adjust where needed. A correction or touch-up is negotiable depending on what you see.

Botox or fillers

Botox relaxes muscles and smooths wrinkles that occur due to movement. Fillers add volume or correct contours. For frown, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles, use Botox. For lips, jawline, or cheeks, choose fillers. We regularly combine both in one trajectory for a natural overall result.
