"Is it true that if you start using Botox very early, you will learn not to frown?"

"That's right, that's not a myth! If I take myself now, I started with botox quite early. Now I notice that I only have to do the treatment once every 6 months, purely because I forget to frown. I do raise my eyebrows very sharply, but I don't really look that angry." - Dr. Dagmar Ostijn

Less is more

"Often the irritations we see are a result of using products that are too aggressive. That is also a result of social media. People use toners that are too aggressive because they see it on TikTok…

Salicylic acid.. Ah I've seen that's good. And then glycolic acid is also very good, and azelaic acid is also good.

Everything is mixed and ultimately the skin is destroyed. Something you also address in your book. Less is more, and it is better to combine the right products."
