What is botulinum toxin?

Botulinum toxin - or Botox as it is commonly known - is a protein that is injected into the fine muscles under the skin. When these muscles tighten, the skin contracts. As the skin's elasticity and suppleness decrease, these contractions lead to wrinkles. The toxin temporarily blocks the nerve impulses to the muscles, thereby reducing the contractions, leading to smoother skin and less visible wrinkles.

The treatment is safe and relatively painless. It only takes a few minutes and you can return to your daily activities immediately afterwards.

What is treated?

Toxin is used to treat wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, around the mouth and on the neck (crow's feet, brow lift, nefertiti lift) and for gummy smile. It is also used for sweating and teeth grinding.

How long does the effect last?

The effect comes gradually. Full effect is seen after about 1 week and lasts between 3-6 months. After that, further treatments are required to maintain the result.

How long does Botox last?
The effect of a toxin treatment lasts around 3-6 months.
How often does Botox need to be done?
The frequency of Botox is individual and also depends on the area being treated but the effect lasts approximately 3-6 months. Generally speaking, you should expect to need to repeat botox treatments at regular intervals to maintain the results.
Is Botox permanent?
Botox is not permanent, it only temporarily suppresses nerve impulses to the muscles. After 3 to 6 months, the effect gradually starts to wear off as the muscles recover and return to their normal activity.
How does Botox work?
Botox is a protein that is injected into the fine muscles under the skin. When these muscles tense, the skin contracts, leading to wrinkles. The toxin temporarily blocks nerve impulses to the muscles, reducing these contractions, which in turn leads to smoother skin.

We don't recommend applying make-up on the day of a Botox treatment, but at The Faculty we usually apply a cream to cover the redness before you leave.
How much does Botox cost?
A Botox treatment costs from €4,000. The price depends on how many areas you want to treat.
