Botulinum Toxin Treatments
Softening dynamic lines with precise muscle relaxation.
Overview
Small doses of botulinum toxin are placed into specific muscles to soften expression lines while preserving natural movement.
What it treats
Frown lines, forehead lines, crow's feet, and some jaw and neck concerns.
How it works
The toxin temporarily blocks nerve signals to targeted muscles, reducing repeated creasing of the overlying skin.
Who it suits
Adults with dynamic lines who want a subtle, reversible result.
What happens on the day
Assessment of muscle movement, mapping of injection points, then a series of small injections.
Recovery
None; avoid exercise, heat and lying flat for four hours.
Results to expect
Onset from three to five days, full effect at two weeks, lasting three to four months.
Risks and considerations
Bruising, temporary heaviness or asymmetry, and rare eyelid ptosis.
