Botulinum Toxin

Botulinum Toxin


Botox injections are commonly injected into three main sites – forehead lines, crow’s feet lines around the eyes and the frown lines between the eyebrows.

A good practitioner would never treat the forehead without treating the frown lines as well. This is because it could lead to heaviness (brow ptosis), but the frown lines can be treated without the forehead.
If you’d like to improve the horizontal lines across your forehead, you can expect this to be two treatment areas. If you’d also like to soften the lines around your eyes (crow’s feet), this is classed as one area if treated on its own or three areas if treated alongside the forehead and frown.
There are other more advanced treatment sites such as chin lifts and bunny lines (the lines that appear on the side of the nose when you wrinkle it). Ultimately, the amount of Botox you require depends on the results you’d like to achieve. Some people want to get rid of the visible lines altogether, which requires more substantial treatment. But most people who opt to have Botox, just want their face to look a little softer and fresher, but still to be able to move.


What are anti-wrinkle injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections can help tackle the signs of ageing by reducing overactive facial muscles that pull and tug on the skin – this helps your skin look smoother and tighter. The break the skin gets from the muscles continually moving, allows the skin to smooth out, giving it a fresher look and can make you look years younger.

We offer a range of botulinum toxin injections. This treatment is most effective when used as a preventative method but also treats facial wrinkles and/or overactive facial muscles.


What is Botox?

Botox is one of the most widely known brands of botulinum toxin injections. Botulinum toxins are neurotoxins that affect nerves and cause muscle weakening. You might get a botulinum toxin injection for cosmetic or medical reasons. Healthcare providers inject small amounts of Botox into specific muscles to smooth wrinkles, prevent migraine headaches and treat a wide range of other health conditions.

How does Botox work?

Botox blocks nerve signals to muscles. As a result, injected muscles can’t contract (tense up). These effects are always temporary, but can last for several months. The muscle injected depends on the primary area of concern. Several areas can be treated in one session.

Is Botox safe?

Botox is generally safe when administered by a licensed healthcare provider. Ask your medical team if Botox injections are right for you.

What should I expect during Botox treatment?

Your healthcare provider uses a fine needle to inject small amounts of Botox into the treatment area. Depending on the issue, you may receive several injections in different spots.


Discomfort is usually mild. The injections may sting and feel uncomfortable, but the procedure is over quickly. Your healthcare provider might apply a topical numbing agent to your skin before giving injections.

What should I know about Botox aftercare?

Unless your healthcare provider says otherwise, you can return to work and most activities immediately after treatment. To reduce redness, swelling or bruising:

Don’t rub or put pressure on the treatment area for 12 hours. Stay upright (don’t lie down) for three to four hours. Avoid physical exertion for 24 hours. How often should you get Botox?

On average, the effects of Botox last about three to four months. Retreatment is recommended at this time. Eventually, however, your muscles may train themselves to contract less. As a result, treatments can be spaced out over longer periods of time. Your healthcare provider can let you know how often you should get Botox based on your unique needs.
