Botox

B O T O X ®

Botox (Botulinum toxin) injections relax the muscles in your face to smooth out lines and wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and frown lines. It’s not permanent – it usually lasts for around 3 or 4 months and then a top up will be required.

PROCESS

Your face will be cleaned, and botulinum toxin will be injected into muscles in your face using a very fine needle. You’ll need injections in different places, depending on the area being treated. You’ll be asked to move the muscles in your face to help find the best place for the injections. It usually takes about 10 minutes.

Anaesthetic: Numbing Cream

RISK

The risks of Botox injections are small as this is done by our qualified and experienced nurse. After treatment you may have:

A headache and flu-like symptoms for the first 24 hours

Bruising, swelling and redness where the needles went in the skin
