The injection is only one part of a botulinum toxin appointment. Examination, informed consent, individual planning and aftercare advice also take time. A single number of minutes therefore describes neither the whole visit nor the time until an effect appears.
What appointment planning includes
Before a first treatment, discussion includes your expression at rest and in movement, your goals and relevant medical conditions. Mention previous botulinum toxin treatments, products used, medicines and unusual reactions. Only then can suitability and the areas that might be treated be assessed.
When enquiring, ask how much time is allowed for initial consultation and treatment, and whether separate visits are planned. Do not schedule an important occasion based only on the brief injection procedure: onset, possible bruising and a review appointment have their own timelines. Our aesthetic aim is a natural-looking expression that allows your face to move.

Possibilities and limitations
Possible side effects include bruising, headache, asymmetry and unwanted weakening of nearby muscles.
Aesthetic treatments also carry risks. A particular result, a pain-free experience or an uncomplicated recovery cannot be guaranteed. Your medical consultation should include an individual explanation of the risks.
How results develop over time
The development of a result should be distinguished from immediate reactions such as swelling. Neither the time needed nor the durability of results can be guaranteed in general terms. Follow-up visits and any further steps are planned according to your individual progress.
Aftercare and everyday life
Recovery and the return to normal activity depend on the treatment and your individual healing process. Swelling, bruising and discomfort may occur. Your treating doctor will explain aftercare and when you can resume everyday activities and exercise.
Mc Aesthetics provides information and handles organisational enquiries. Medical consultations, informed consent and treatment are the responsibility of the respective medical providers.
How do I arrange an appointment?
Before making a firm agreement, clarify who will treat you, where the treatment will take place, and what preparation and aftercare are required. Mentioning a city on an information page does not confirm that there is a clinic at that location.
