Personal experience

Personal accounts can offer insight into expectations and recovery. They do not allow firm conclusions about your own outcome. The main considerations are your clinical findings, the chosen method, clear explanations and reliable aftercare. When viewing photographs, consider how they were taken and how much time had passed since treatment.

How long do the effects of botulinum toxin last?

Botulinum toxin affects the transmission of signals to treated muscles. Its effect develops over several days and is temporary. Strength and duration depend, among other factors, on the product, treated area and individual response.

Different products and uses do not support a blanket promise of six to eight months. The first visible effect should be distinguished from a meaningful later assessment. A suitable follow-up appointment is arranged.

As muscle activity increases again, expression lines may become more noticeable. Before another treatment, the current findings, previous effects or symptoms and the product information are considered. Treatment is not repeated automatically according to a fixed calendar.

How safe is Botox treatment today?

Botulinum toxin is a medicine that can cause adverse effects. An excessive dose or unsuitable use can cause harm; accidental overdose cannot be ruled out. Dose units for different products are not interchangeable.

Alongside local symptoms, unwanted muscle weakness and, rarely, serious reactions may occur. Your health, medicines and previous treatments form part of the medical history. Use requires medical expertise and planning for the specific product.

Ask for an explanation of the risks, warning signs and necessary aftercare. A natural, expressive face is the aesthetic focus at Mc Aesthetics. Setting goals means considering lines in a way that suits the person, without treating a rigid or completely smooth face as an ideal.
