​
What can you expect from Botox® treatment?
​​
​
Before treatment a full medical history and consultation will
be carried out ensuring you are suitable for treatment and
a bespoke plan will be put together. You will then be
asked to perform some simple movements such as raising
your eyebrows or frowning so we can see exactly which
muscles are causing the fine lines and wrinkles.
​​​​
​
Very superficial injections are given just under the skin- we only use the finest gauge needles to ensure maximum patient comfort and reduce any risk of bruising. The treatment takes only a few minutes and after you will have small raised bumps at each site which will disappear within 20 minutes. Often many patients have this treatment in their lunch break and return to work after without anyone knowing anything has been done!
​
It take a maximum of 14 days for maximal results to be reached but we find many patients experience results within a few days following treatment. Following treatment you should avoid exercise or vigorously rubbing the face for 24hours to ensure the Botox® is not moved from the accurate points it was placed.
