Smooth away wrinkles and embrace a new confidence with Botox.
What is Botox?
Botox is a cosmetic injectable treatment that utilizes a purified form of botulinum toxin to temporarily relax specific facial muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
How does Botox work?
Botox works by blocking nerve signals to the targeted muscles, which prevents them from contracting. This relaxation of the muscles smoothens out wrinkles and lines, giving a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
What areas can Botox treat?

Is Botox safe?
Yes, when administered by a trained and qualified medical professional, Botox is generally considered safe. It has been extensively studied and used for both cosmetic and medical purposes for many years.
Is the Botox procedure painful?
Botox injections are typically well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort. The needles used are very fine, and the procedure is usually described as feeling like a small pinch.
How long does a Botox treatment session take?
A Botox treatment session usually takes around 10-15 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. It is often referred to as a lunchtime procedure because it can easily be done during a quick break.
Are there any side effects or downtime associated with Botox?
Side effects are typically mild and temporary, including slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. Most individuals can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, it's important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your healthcare professional.
How long do the effects of Botox last?
The effects of Botox usually last between 3 to 6 months. Over time, the muscles gradually regain their movement, and the wrinkles may reappear. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain the results.
Who is a good candidate for Botox?
Botox is suitable for adults who want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines caused by facial muscle movement. However, individuals with certain medical conditions, allergies, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult with a healthcare professional before undergoing treatment.
How soon will I see results after Botox treatment?
The results of Botox injections are not immediate. It typically takes a few days (around 3-7 days) for the full effects to become visible. Some individuals may require additional treatments to achieve their desired outcome.
Can Botox be combined with other cosmetic procedures?
Yes, Botox can be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as dermal fillers, to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. A consultation with a qualified healthcare professional can help determine the best treatment plan for your specific goals.
What's the difference between Botox, Dysport, and Jeaveau?
Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau (Newtox) are all cosmetic injectables that use slightly different forms of botulinum toxin to achieve similar results. We will assess your individual needs and recommend the most suitable product for your specific goals. We will consider factors such as your desired outcomes, medical history, and individual response to determine the best option for you.
