Botox
A refreshed look that still moves naturally.
Procedure overview
Neuromodulator injections relax the small muscles responsible for expression lines — such as frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet — softening their appearance without affecting the rest of the face.
Results build in gradually over several days and are temporary, which allows the approach to be fine-tuned over successive sessions.
The patient pathway
- 01
Consultation
Facial movement patterns and areas of concern are assessed to plan a natural-looking, individualised treatment.
- 02
Treatment
A series of small injections are administered directly into the targeted muscles, typically taking 10 to 15 minutes.
- 03
Settling period
Results begin to appear within a few days and fully develop over about two weeks.
- 04
Follow-up
A review is offered at around two weeks to assess results, with maintenance sessions typically every 3 to 4 months.
Questions patients ask
Does the treatment hurt?
Discomfort is minimal and brief, often compared to a small pinch; a numbing cream can be used if preferred.
How long do results last?
Typically 3 to 4 months, after which the effect gradually fades and muscle movement returns.
Will my face look frozen?
The aim is a natural, soft result that preserves expression — dosing is tailored to avoid an overly frozen appearance.
Is there any downtime?
None — most patients resume normal activities immediately, with only a small risk of temporary redness at injection points.
