BOTOX® Injections
Botox is the world’s leading facial treatment for reducing lines and wrinkles, helping us achieve a more youthful and refreshed look. First introduced in the UK in the late 1980s, its popularity has steadily grown, with millions of men and women safely receiving treatments each year. Botox is the result of extensive research, culminating in the FDA’s approval of botulinum toxin in 1989 as a wrinkle injection specifically targeting fine lines and wrinkles.
About the treatment
The treatment involves administering tiny, painless injections into specific areas of the skin. These injections temporarily relax the underlying muscles, smoothing out the lines caused by repetitive facial expressions over time.
One of the best aspects of Botox is its convenience—it only takes about 5-10 minutes, and you can return to your daily activities immediately, as there’s no downtime. Results typically begin to appear within 3-4 days, providing a rejuvenated and youthful appearance that lasts for approximately 5-7 months.
Benefits of using Botox
Botox is a non-invasive procedure that can be completed quickly, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. The benefits become noticeable within a few days, offering a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance with minimal downtime required. With results lasting 5-7 months, Botox provides a long-lasting solution to minimize the signs of aging and even reverse its effects. It is also an affordable and straightforward way to achieve smoother, younger-looking skin, making it an accessible option for those looking to enhance their appearance without undergoing more intensive treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions FAQs
The procedure itself typically takes about 10-20 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Including a brief consultation and aftercare discussion, your appointment may last around 30 minutes. The process is straightforward, with minimal downtime required.
Results from Botox usually begin to appear within 3-5 days, with the full effect becoming visible around two weeks post-treatment. During this time, you’ll notice the treated areas gradually smoothing out as the muscles relax.
Yes, most people resume their regular activities immediately. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise, lying down, or rubbing the treated area for about 24 hours to help prevent the Botox from migrating to unintended areas.
Yes, many patients combine Botox with treatments like dermal fillers, microneedling, or skin rejuvenation procedures for enhanced results. Your practitioner can guide you on complementary treatments based on your goals and recommend a safe treatment plan.
For a muscle to move, it requires a signal from a neurotransmitter released by a nerve. Botox, or botulinum toxin, works by relaxing muscles and smoothing out wrinkles by blocking the release of this neurotransmitter. By inhibiting muscle movement, Botox helps reduce wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions.
There is no "perfect" or "right" age to start Botox—it’s entirely based on your personal preferences, skin characteristics, and goals. Some people in their mid-to-late 20s or early 30s may opt for “preventative” Botox when they notice faint lines that remain visible even when their face is at rest. For others, Botox can be an excellent choice in their 40s or later to soften existing lines and achieve a more rejuvenated appearance. The best approach is to schedule a consultation where we can evaluate your skin’s needs and create a personalized treatment plan, whether your goal is to prevent or reduce the appearance of lines.
Side effects from botulinum toxin injections vary depending on the area receiving treatment. Most issues are mild and improve in a day or two. Possible Botox side effects include:
- Pain, swelling, redness or bruising at the treatment site.
- Flu-like symptoms.
- Headache.
- Neck pain.
- Upset stomach (indigestion).
- Temporary drooping eyelids (ptosis).
- Eye irritation or redness.
If you experience any side effects please let your aesthetician know and consult your nearest GP or doctor for medical help.
