Botulinum toxin takes effect over several days. Your appearance immediately after the appointment therefore does not show the later result. At Mc Aesthetics, aesthetic planning aims for a lively expression that suits the individual.
Distinguishing onset from the review appointment
Timing depends on the medicine used and the area treated. As a specific product example, the Bocouture prescribing information describes an onset usually within 7 days for horizontal forehead lines, with maximum effect on day 30. These figures are not a universal promise for every botulinum toxin product or clinical finding.
Ask for the product used and the planned review date to be recorded at your appointment. An unchanged forehead on the same day is not a reason for an immediate further injection. Review should consider expression during movement, eyebrow position and how you feel about the change. Complete absence of movement is not a necessary aesthetic goal.

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.
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.
