Facial Assessment
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation to understand your concerns about dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, or frown lines. We’ll assess your facial anatomy, muscle activity, and skin condition to determine the best treatment approach.
Treatment Recommendations
Based on your goals, we’ll recommend a tailored treatment plan. This may include botulinum toxin injections to relax specific muscles and soften dynamic wrinkles, ensuring natural results that enhance your expressions.
Treatment
The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, typically lasting 15 minutes. Using ultra-fine needles, small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected into targeted muscles. Most clients describe the experience as mildly uncomfortable, akin to a tiny pinch.
Post-treatment Recommendtations
You’ll be advised to avoid rubbing the treated areas and strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Results typically become noticeable within 3–7 days and last 3–6 months. Follow-up appointments can maintain your refreshed appearance.
Precautions & Possible Complications
Precautions include disclosing any neuromuscular conditions or allergies. Possible complications are rare but may include mild swelling, bruising, headache, or temporary drooping of nearby muscles. Proper technique minimizes risks.
Other Indications for Treatment
Jaw Clenching (Bruxism)
Tension Headaches
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Jaw Clenching (Bruxism)
Botox can effectively alleviate the symptoms of bruxism by relaxing the overactive jaw muscles responsible for teeth grinding and clenching. This reduces jaw tension, headaches, minimises tooth wear, and can relieve associated discomfort without affecting normal chewing functions.
Tension Headaches
Botox is used to manage chronic tension headaches by relaxing the muscles in the head and neck, reducing muscle contractions that contribute to headache pain. This can lead to decreased frequency and intensity of headaches, improving overall quality of life.
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Botox is a highly effective treatment for hyperhidrosis, particularly in the underarms, scalp, palms, and soles of the feet. It works by blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweat production, significantly reducing excessive sweating and enhancing comfort and confidence.
How often do you need treatment?
The effects of Botox typically last between 3 to 6 months, depending on the treatment area and individual response. To maintain optimal results, injections are usually repeated every 3 to 4 months. Over time, some patients may find that they can extend the interval between treatments as the targeted muscles become trained to relax.
