Using a very fine needle Botox enters the body via an injection into a muscle, temporarily
paralysing the area and stopping it from moving.
When administered by an experienced and medically trained practitioner the procedure is very safe with complications being extremely rare. All our practitioners are medically trained and have undergone accredited training offering you complete peace of mind. Known side effects include headaches, bruising, face pain, redness, skin tightness, muscle weakness, swelling, sensitivity, raised eyebrows and a droopy eyelid.
Everyone’s pain threshold is different but generally there is very little discomfort with this treatment. You may get a temporary stinging sensation however we can apply topical aesthetic if needed.
This varies from patient to patient but typically the results last between 3-6 months.
We don’t advise to exercise, sunbathe or sauna for 48 hours after your anti-wrinkle injections treatment. Exercise increases blood flow through the muscles and can potentially diffuse the injections. We also advise not lying down for 4-6 hours after the treatment.
This treatment is charged per area, one area would either be your forehead horizontal lines, the vertical frown lines above the nose or the crow’s feet around your eyes. We would discuss your areas of concern during your consultation and make a recommendation on your treatment based from this.
