Botulinum Toxin Treatment

Botulinum Toxin, commonly referred to as 'Botox', is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes facial muscles. It is widely used in aesthetic medicine to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, providing a smoother, more youthful complexion.

Before your treatment, a consultation with a qualified prescriber is required to assess your suitability and discuss your aesthetic goals. The consultation costs £25.
During the treatment, a qualified practitioner will assess your facial structure and target specific muscles.
A series of microinjections are administered into the affected areas.
The procedure is minimally invasive, typically lasting 15–30 minutes.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Botulinum Toxin works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles, preventing contractions that cause wrinkles. Over 3–7 days, treated areas gradually smooth out, with results lasting 3–6 months depending on the individual.

Adults in good general health seeking reduction of dynamic wrinkles.
Individuals looking for subtle, natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
Patients with specific aesthetic concerns such as gummy smiles or jaw clenching.
Those who understand the temporary nature of Botulinum Toxin and are willing to maintain periodic treatments.

No downtime is typically required; you can resume normal activities immediately.
Avoid massaging or rubbing treated areas for 24 hours.
Remain upright for 4 hours post-treatment and avoid strenuous exercise for the same period.
Results gradually appear over 3–7 days, lasting 3–6 months.
Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to assess results.

Temporary headache or flu-like symptoms in some patients.
