Botulinum toxin injections
Injections given by a qualified doctor to soften the look of expression lines in selected facial areas.
Who it's for
Suitability is confirmed after a consultation and assessment by the treating clinician; results vary from person to person. The procedure may not suit some health conditions; the doctor decides this at consultation.
What to expect
- Consultation and assessment with the doctor
- Agree the areas and suitable dose
- Injection at the clinic, with aftercare guidance
- A follow-up to review the result
Sessions and aftercare
Follow the doctor's instructions after the injection, and avoid massaging the treated area unless you are told to.
The doctor explains which product is used, and its source, at the consultation.
Possible risks and side effects
Possible temporary effects: bruising, mild pain at the site or headache. Less common: temporary eyelid or brow droop. The doctor explains the risks beforehand.
Why follow-up matters
The doctor sets a follow-up to review the result; contact the clinic if you notice any unexpected symptoms. Keeping follow-up appointments and aftercare instructions matters; missing them can delay noticing a side effect or affect the result.
