Concerned About Pain?

At Coonen Clinic, we prioritize your comfort and strive to make the experience as pain-free as possible. We utilize only the highest-quality products and the finest needles, minimizing any discomfort you might feel. While most clients do feel the injections, they report minimal disturbance from the procedure.

Our clinic uses ultra-thin needles and applies injections with precision to ensure minimal visible effects on the skin post-treatment. In rare instances, temporary bumps may arise, but these typically vanish within an hour. If a bruise does occur, it’s best to avoid sun exposure. Should you notice anything concerning or have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

After your treatment, it’s important to refrain from applying pressure to the treated area on your body and face. Avoid heavy exercise for at least 48 hours. We also recommend avoiding sauna or hammam visits within the first week and abstaining from massages in the treated area for the initial two weeks.

After 3 or 4 days, the Botox settles into its intended position. This is when the nerves in the treated areas stop producing acetylcholine, the substance responsible for muscle contractions. You’ll start feeling the effects then – experiencing reduced tension and fewer, if any, headache symptoms. It usually takes about 2 weeks for the full effect to maximize.

Duration of Benefites

The treatment typically remains effective for 3 to 4 months, but its impact and duration vary from person to person. As Botox gradually metabolizes in your body, you may notice muscle tension increasing again, resulting in more frequent headache symptoms. However, relief can be reinstated with a new treatment. It’s worth noting that the more regularly you receive Botox treatments, the faster you’ll notice its effects and the longer they’ll last. This is particularly true if there isn’t too much time between treatments.

The treatment for migraine/headache is usually considered a single zone and costs €170. Check our price list for the rates per zone.
