Botulinum toxin (Botox)
What is botulinum toxin (Botox) at The Cocktail Clinic?
It is a substance that temporarily relaxes muscles. Injected into a small muscle, the muscle relaxes and the skin looks tighter. Injected into a large muscle, that muscle becomes smaller.
Where can it be injected?
Lines, the sides of the nose, the jaw, the neck, the shoulders, the underarms, the calves, the palms and the soles.
Who is it for?
People who want fewer lines, smaller muscles, or less sweating.
How long is one appointment?
The treatment takes about 10–15 minutes. If you also want numbing cream, the whole visit is about 50–60 minutes.
When are the results seen, and how long do they last?
Botox is fully seen at 1 month. How long it lasts depends on the brand injected and on each person's daily life.
What should be avoided before and after the injection?
There are no restrictions before the injection. After the injection, avoid lying flat for 3 hours, and avoid heat and frequent warm showers on the area where Botox was injected. That shortens how long the result lasts.
Which brands are used?
The Cocktail Clinic has 2 brands.
- Allergan, from the United States. The result lasts about 6–8 months.
- Neuronox, from Korea. The result lasts about 4–6 months.
Will it look stiff or unnatural?
It does not look stiff. In the first 1–2 weeks after the injection it can feel a bit tight, because the Botox has not set yet. It settles at 1 month.
How many units are used?
The number of units depends on the area injected and on each person's concern. The doctor assesses this before injecting.
Is there downtime?
There may be needle marks and bruising for about 1 week, because it is an injection. If there is bruising, a cold compress helps it improve faster.
Hyaluronic acid filler
What is filler at The Cocktail Clinic?
An injection of hyaluronic acid filler to shape the face.
Where can it be injected (temples, under-eyes, cheeks, folds, forehead, lips, chin and so on)?
Temples, under-eyes, the front of the cheeks, nasolabial folds, the forehead, the lips, the chin, the nose, the jawline, lifting the face, the hands and the neck.
Who is it for?
People who want to fill areas that are lacking or have sunken, so the face or a deep fold looks shallower.
How long is one appointment?
About 15–20 minutes. If you also want numbing cream, about 1 hour.
When are the results seen, and how long do they last?
After the injection a result is seen to some extent, and the full result is seen at 1 month.
What should be avoided before and after the injection?
There are no restrictions before the injection. After the injection, avoid raw food and pickled food for 7 days, to avoid infection from bacteria. Filler does not like heat, such as warm showers and frequent facial steam or sauna, which makes the filler dissolve faster.
Which brands or types of HA are used?
The Cocktail Clinic has 3 brands.
- Neuramis filler, from Korea. It lasts about 8–12 months.
- Restylane filler, from Sweden. It lasts about 12–18 months.
