Botox Gothenburg

We look at what your muscles look like in the activated and relaxed position. The points to be treated are marked and then we inject small amounts of botulinum toxin where needed.

You can achieve this relaxed forehead look by booking an appointment for Botox in Gothenburg.

The treatment is not completely painless, but it is quick. The needles used are very thin, and the pain can mimic acupuncture. Most people do not find it particularly painful.

The results come gradually after a couple of days, and can take up to 14 days for full effect (sourceFollow-up is included 2 weeks after treatment.

Immediately afterwards, you may get small red dots on the treated area that go down after a few minutes. You can continue your normal activities as usual and return to work, without anyone noticing.

This is why it is known as 'the lunch break treatment' in the United States.

Generally, Botox treatments last around 4 to six months. Results vary from person to person. There are a few factors that play into how long results last.

• Muscle strength: Strong facial muscles can cause the power to return faster.
• The amount used: Normally, the more units used, the longer the results last. However, if you put too much of the product in the muscles, they can become too heavy and you will not get the desired cosmetic effect. At Dr Nina clinic in Gothenburg, we always try to add the right amount for you!
• Individual metabolism: Some people have a faster metabolism, which leads to it being broken down more quickly. If you exercise hard several times a week, this can make it go through your body faster.
• Regular treatments: If a customer chooses to follow up with regular treatments, the results can last longer. When you keep the treatments going, you can see the results last more than 6 months.

For maximum durability, we recommend doing a new treatment before all the effect of your previous treatment is completely gone. But you should still have quite a bit of movement before refilling.

Some clients feel a little scared before their first treatment. But it's worth remembering that Botox is a muscle relaxant that is well-proven and has been used in healthcare for decades. For example, it is used in children to treat spasticity and muscle cramps, for eye diseases, or myasthenia gravis.

It is also used in healthcare in much larger doses than those we give in aesthetic medicine. So as long as you go to a safe clinic with knowledge and experience of aesthetic injection treatments, the risks are low.

The side effects of botulinum toxin type A are relatively few and often temporary. Minor bruising may occur if a vessel is touched.

Aesthetic side effects may include, for example, a tendency for some people to feel heaviness in the forehead in the first few weeks after treatment. This is temporary and if you have experienced it, you can take a slightly smaller dose at the next treatment session to reduce the feeling of heaviness.
The result may also be uneven in some cases but is usually easy to fix at the 14-day follow-up.

In rare cases, Botox can come into contact with a nerve that controls the eyelid, especially when treating the glabella. This can lead to temporary ptosis; drooping eyelids. Therefore, avoid exercising 24 hours after treatment to avoid this.

After treatment, it is good to avoid lying down for a couple of hours, avoid direct sun, sunbeds or extreme temperatures for 24 hours.

Exercise should also be avoided for 1-2 days. You should preferably not do any facials or massage the treated area for 2 weeks.

All this should be taken into account so that the botox does not migrate from the injected points.

In rare cases, some people may become immune, especially if treated too often. You should therefore leave at least 3 months between your treatments. In the unlikely event that you become immune to Botox, you will recognise this by having a reaction after your treatment.

You will be red and swollen after the treatment, which can last for a few hours. After that, you won't get any effect from the treatments at all.

If you find that your upper lip disappears when you smile, a lipflip treatment with botox can make the lip appear more visible when smiling. You can also lift up the lip contour slightly, and smoke wrinkles can be reduced with a lip flip treatment.

The lips do not get bigger, but more of the lip is visible. If you want bigger lips, fillers with hyaluronic acid are a better option.

We recommend that you first tattoo your eyebrows so that they are in their natural state when the tattooist draws the shapes. You can then carry out treatment with toxins 2 weeks after the tattoo.

It is perfectly OK to be treated with Botox if you are trying to get pregnant or undergoing IVF.

However, it is good to be sure that you are not pregnant, as all beauty treatments should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Toxins should be avoided if you have neurological diseases. You should also not have an infection in the area to be treated; it is better to wait until it has healed.

Everyone ages differently and there is no fixed age that we recommend starting at. Rather, we look at how your skin looks. If you notice lines and wrinkles on your face even when you're relaxed, it's time to start your treatments. This way you will prevent the wrinkles from getting even deeper and leaving their mark.

Do not lie down for the first 2-3 hours after your treatment. Both bending forwards and backwards can spread the toxin so that it hits nerves.

Waiting at least 24 hours for moderate exercise gives the Botox time to settle into place so it doesn't move anywhere it shouldn't.

It is not recommended to drink large amounts of alcohol after your treatment. A glass of wine is ok.

It is more important to stay away from alcoholic beverages for a couple of days before the procedure as the risk of bruising increases with alcohol intake.

It is important to sleep on your back at night. Sleeping on your back is important because the injections need time to settle in the muscles.

The risk of bruising after treatment increases when the body or face gets too hot. In addition to avoiding hot tubs, saunas and other similar places, do not take a hot bath or shower for at least 12 hours after this treatment.

After your Botox treatment, it is better to limit sun exposure. Both natural sunlight as well as solarium. Mainly because increased temperatures can cause the toxins to move away from our injection points and therefore increase the risks of side effects.
