More Information

What is Botulinum toxin?

A purified protein that temporarily blocks signals between nerves and muscles, reducing unwanted contractions that cause wrinkles. Botox® is the most well-known brand.

How does it work?

It inhibits acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, preventing the muscle from contracting. This allows the skin to smooth out.

What areas can be treated?

Primarily the upper face (forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet), plus advanced areas like chin, jawline, under-eyes, and neck bands.

What’s the difference between Botox® and fillers?

Botox® relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles. Fillers add volume to contour areas like cheeks or lips. They serve different purposes but can complement each other.

What’s the difference between brands?

Botox® (Allergan) is the original and most researched. Other brands like Azzalure® and Bocouture® differ in protein composition and diffusion rate. We use only Botox® for its precision and safety.

Is Botulinum toxin safe?

Yes, when using certified products administered by trained professionals. Botox® has been used for decades with a strong safety record.

Is Botox® safe during pregnancy?

Not recommended. If you discover you’re pregnant after treatment, don’t worry—no evidence links Botox® to harm in pregnancy, but it’s not licensed for use in this group.

What are the side effects?

Mild swelling, bruising, or headache. Rarely, asymmetry or temporary drooping. All effects are temporary and can be corrected.

Will I look frozen?

Not with us! We aim for a natural look that preserves facial expression while reducing lines.

Does the procedure hurt?

Most patients report minimal discomfort—like a quick insect bite. We offer numbing cream if needed.

What is the recovery time?

You may experience slight redness or swelling for 5–10 minutes. Bruising is rare and fades in a few days. Most patients resume normal activity immediately.

When will I see the effects?

Effects start showing in 3–5 days, with full results in up to 2 weeks.

How long do the results last?

3 to 4 months. We recommend maintaining regular treatments for best results.

What should I do before the appointment?

Avoid alcohol, aspirin, omega-3, vitamin E for 1–2 days. Eat something beforehand and avoid heavy makeup.

What about treatment aftercare?
  • No rubbing/massaging the area for 4 hours
  • No strenuous exercise or heat exposure for 48 hours
  • Avoid makeup for 4 hours
  • Stay upright for at least 4 hours
  • It’s better to wait 1–2 days before flying, if possible, to prevent dispersion.
  • Can I have it on the same day as the consultation?

    Yes. If you’re ready, we can proceed straight after the consultation.

    What if I need a top-up?

    In rare cases, a follow-up may be needed after 4–6 weeks, especially if your masseters are particularly large. This would be a repeat full treatment.
