When movement returns after botulinum toxin treatment, its temporary effect on the muscle is wearing off. This does not identify an exact day on which the medicine has been completely broken down. Natural-looking expression remains the reference for our aesthetic planning.
Breakdown and visible duration
The Bocouture prescribing information describes restoration of nerve impulse transmission usually within 3 to 4 months. The visible course may differ and also depends on the area, findings and treatment plan. A returning wrinkle cannot reveal the amount of active substance remaining or automatically determine the next appointment.
At review, discuss which movements have returned and whether you want another treatment at all. The product, previous course and unwanted effects belong in that decision. A fixed calendar schedule alone, or a permanently motionless face, does not reflect our approach to individual, natural-looking aesthetics.

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.

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.
