Botox is by far the most popular treatment in the medical aesthetic world of injectables. One person starts preventively at 24 and the other wants to reverse the wrinkles and time around the age of 50. There are also people who are firmly against botox. Nowadays, botox, or frown treatments, are offered in many different places and you can even take a botox during your lunch break without anyone noticing. The great thing about this treatment is that it can be relatively inexpensive with a good result quickly. But what should you pay attention to when choosing the right clinic, doctor and price?
What exactly does a botox treatment do?
As you get older, subcutaneous fat tissue and bone structure decrease, giving our muscles more space to move and also have to tighten harder. As a result, you frown more often, or, for example, raise your eyebrows more often and stronger. You are unconsciously training your muscles all day long and this excessive movement creates frown lines and forehead wrinkles that bother us so much. The loss of volume and gravity also cause the eyebrow, especially the brow tail, to sag, causing you to feel heavy or oppressive, or even headaches and migraines.
Botox is injected into that overtrained muscle and ensures that it relaxes and is temporarily less mobile. The result is a relaxed, rested look and it makes your forehead and eyelids feel lighter. Because the skin is less moving, new wrinkles will occur less quickly and the lines that are already 'folded' into the skin will slowly unfold.
One reason for many people to start taking botox is also to reduce the “bad look”. Relaxing your frown actually gives a younger and friendlier look.
Botox not only has to have a cosmetic indication but can also be used for migraines, teeth grinding, or excessive sweating.
Our painless Botox method
At Van Lennep Kliniek, we strive to make the experience of our customers as pleasant as possible.

Why are Botox prices so different?
1. Our KNMG cosmetic doctors work with good, safety-tested A-brand products with proven, effective and long-lasting results. After two weeks, our fixed service includes a check-up appointment.
2.We work with the thinnest needle available, 'the invisible needle', so that you hardly feel the sting through the skin. The invisible needle also has a much smaller chance of bruising or redness after treatment.
3.To make botox, a freeze-dried powder, the doctor normally adds physiological saline solution. This causes a burning sensation when injected. At Van Lennep Kliniek, we work with an adapted solution that doesn't sting. The combination of the thinnest needle and the addition of a special solution makes the treatment painless.
4. We act safely and always inject the recommended dose. We would also like to see the result again. That is why, after each botox treatment, we schedule a check-up appointment after two weeks. During this appointment, we will check how things went in the days after the treatment and our doctors will see how facial muscle activity has improved. Has the optimal result been achieved? If not, does it need a free touch-up?
5. Within the Van Lennep Clinic, it is important to stay up to date, act evidence-based and remain competent in all actions within the profession. That is why our doctors are affiliated with the scientific professional association for cosmetic doctors, The Dutch Association of Cosmetic Medicine (NVCG). Expert training courses and sharing experience are central to this.
So you can see that a botox treatment at Van Lennep Kliniek is a sustainable choice. Because we know better than anyone that Botox can often cost you more for a 'little' price.
