Alles wat je moet weten over Botox
- Botox is a substance made by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.
- Botox is used for both medical and cosmetic purposes.
- Brands we use include Azzalure, Botox and Bocouture.
- Only BIG-registered doctors are allowed to perform cosmetic botox treatments. Beauticians and skin therapists are not allowed to do so.
Our specialists work with care and precision to achieve your desired results. In treatments with botox and fillers, we look at the whole face and take into account your natural expression. We call this a 'full face approach'. In this way, we preserve your facial expression and ensure a subtle, natural result.
How does our face age?
As we age, numerous changes occur in our body processes, no matter how good our genes are. This affects how we feel, but also our appearance. The ageing process of our face is an example of this. The main causes of facial ageing are:
- Het onderhuidsvolume neemt af. Zowel de botstructuren als de vetweefselstructuren nemen in volume af zodat de huid minder goed ondersteund wordt.
- De kwaliteit van de huid zelf neemt af, de huid is sneller uitgedroogd en het proces van celvernieuwing verloopt trager.
- De spieractiviteit verandert en de spiertonus neemt af: met ouderdom blijven de lijnen in het gezicht duidelijk zichtbaar terwijl de spier ontspannen is.
How can I prevent wrinkle formation?
The previously described causes of facial ageing are also known as intrinsic factors, factors that therefore affect everyone and over which we ourselves have little control. There are also extrinsic factors that can influence the ageing process, including:
- UV-stralen
- Roken
- Stress
- Vervuiling
- Slechte eet- en drinkgewoonten
- Slechte algemene huidverzorging
A healthy lifestyle
Thus, through a healthy lifestyle and proper eating habits, we can significantly reduce the damage done by extrinsic factors. The following precautions can be taken to maintain a youthful appearance:
- Gebruik van een vochtregulerende gezichtsverzorgende crème, bij voorkeur met UV-bescherming
- Gebruik van zonnebescherming
- Niet roken
- Voldoende verse groenten en fruit eten, teveel vet en suiker vermijden
- Voldoende water drinken
