Botox FAQs
Botox is the only product licensed in the UK for use in the frown and laughter lines and also for underarm sweating and migraine. Botox is manufactured by the brand leader Allergan Ltd and should not be confused with other inferior products sometimes used in the aesthetic industry.
The treatment involves a small number of tiny injections of the Botox solution into the muscle groups that are causing the lines and wrinkles. The procedure is virtually pain free, in the hands of our experienced Doctors, and no anaesthetic is required.
The full effect of Botox takes between 4 and 14 days to develop and gives a smooth, wrinkle free appearance for approximately 3-4 months. We advise 3-4 treatments in the first year as the effects may then start to last longer and the time between repeat treatments increase.
There are very few side effects with Botox and these are usually technique and dependant. Choice of your practitioner is therefore of paramount importance. There have been no reported long term side effects from the use of Botox. There may be a small possibility of a bruise at the injection site.
