FAQs
How does Botox reduce the fine lines and Wrinkles?
The Neurotoxin injections are shots that use a toxin to prevent a muscle from moving for a limited time. These shots are often used to smooth wrinkles on the face by stopping your muscles from contracting and forming wrinkles. They're also used to treat neck spasms, sweating, overactive bladder, lazy eye and other conditions.
What would happen during the treatment?
During a treatment session, we ask you to frown or scrunch up your face so we can see where the wrinkles and lines are most pronounced. Then we inject a tiny amount of Botox o 10 minutes.
Does Botox® Hurt?
The needle used to administer Botox® is so small that most people report feeling a slight pinch or stinging sensation.
Can I get Numb before injection?
Yes, some people prefer to get numb before injection, but bear it in mind, it prolongs your procedure by 30 Minutes and will cost you £20 more than actual price.
Is it permanent treatment?
The effects are not permanent. Most treatments last about 4-6 months, although this varies among patients.
What's the difference between Botox and fillers?
Botox® and fillers are two different types of injectables, which are both injected with a needle. The biggest difference between Botox® and fillers is that Botox® is used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by paralysing the underlying muscles, fillers on the other hand will fill in wrinkles.
Can I see the result straight away?
Botox injections do not work instantly, but most patients observe improvements in the appearance of their skin after just 3–4 days. Patients can expect to see the full effect around 14 days after their Botox injection.
Are There Alternatives to Botox?
