Botoxulinum Toxin Treatment Frequently Asked Questions
Botulinum Toxin is a commonly performed beauty procedure. Our frequently asked questions (FAQ) will provide you with further information.

 

When Does Botulinum Toxin Start To Work?

Results will be visable three to ten days from the day of treatment.

Is Botulinum Toxin For Women And Men?

Yes, Botulinum Toxin is an excellent cosmetic treatment for men and women. Men may need a slightly larger treatment dose, due to their stronger facial muscle contractions, which would be discussed during a consultation.

Is A Botulinum Treatment Painful?

A Botulinum Toxin treatment has minimal discomfort and often the small needle is not felt at all.

Who Injects The Botulinum Toxin?

A Botulinum Toxin treatment is performed by one of our trained and qualified Doctors or Registered Nurses.

How Long Does A Treatment Take?

A Botulinum Toxin treatment itself only takes a few minutes, less time than the consultation. However the full consultation is important to ensure clients have all the information they need and treatment is tailored to the individual.

How Long Does A Botulinum Toxin Treatment Last?

Treated facial muscles will gradually return to their normal action three to five months after treatment, depending on the individual. Our bodies regenerate neuromuscular connections, which means that all muscle activity will return to normal over time.

What Areas Of The Body Is Botulinum Toxin Used For?

Botulinum Toxin is commonly used cosmetically for the following areas;

Crows feet

Squint lines

Forehead lines

 

Vertical lines between the brows

Is It A Toxin?

Botulinum Toxin has been created in a laboratory and it is a purified protein. It is not derived from animals. A part of it’s production involves a specific type of bacteria, much like penicillin is created from mould.

Is Botulinum Toxin Safe?

Botox treatment is one of the safest treatments available in the cosmetic industry today. Any side effects, such as ‘droopy eye’ are always temporary, which is a reason Botox is currently the most popular treatment for looking fresh and youthful, around the world.

Will Facial Lines Look Worse If Treatment Is Not Continued?

Facial muscles gradually revert to normal over time as the Botulinum Toxin wears off. The treatment does not cause any damage to facial muscles. Without continued treatment the normal ageing of the face will continue and more lines will appear.
