They are part of a life full of expression and emotion. But as you age, these lines no longer disappear on their own as soon as you relax your face. The skin loses elasticity and the muscles responsible for that frowning gesture pull the skin deeper and deeper into folds.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, you can develop a permanent frown even when you feel completely fine. That, for many women, is when they start to look into treatment options. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Muscles relax, wrinkles soften<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does Botox work for frown lines?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a botox treatment for frown lines, a small amount of botulinum toxin is injected into the muscles responsible for the frown. This causes these muscles to temporarily relax and the wrinkles soften, or disappear altogether. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The treatment takes an average of <strong>15 to 30 minutes<\/strong> and consists of a few small punctures. Most women experience this as slightly uncomfortable, but certainly not painful. You can go home afterwards, or even just go on with your day. At Aepril Clinics, we always take the time for a comprehensive consultation before treatment. We look at your facial structure, listen to what you want to achieve and honestly discuss what is and isn&#8217;t possible. Botox is customized, not a standard solution.     <\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A8716-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1008 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A8716-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A8716-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A8716-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A8716-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A8716-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A8716-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A8716-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A9818-Verbeterd-NR-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-980 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A9818-Verbeterd-NR-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A9818-Verbeterd-NR-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A9818-Verbeterd-NR-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A9818-Verbeterd-NR-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A9818-Verbeterd-NR-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A9818-Verbeterd-NR-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A9818-Verbeterd-NR-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A fresh look<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When do you see results and how long does it last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The botox does not work immediately on the day. In the first few days, you may already notice that the muscles feel slightly less powerful, but the full results <strong>won&#8217;t be visible for 10 to 14 days<\/strong>. Give your skin and muscles time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the results are there, you will enjoy them <strong>for an average of 3 to 4 months<\/strong>. Over time, muscle function slowly returns. Many women choose to repeat the treatment 2 to 3 times a year. After multiple treatments, some find that the effect lasts a little longer.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull is-light wave\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-accent-background-color has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Who is this treatment suitable for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Frown lines botox is suitable for women who suffer from lines between the eyebrows that they find distracting because they deepen, or because they unfairly give a tired or stern appearance.
