Aesthetic Botox Injections

Botox® is one of the most effective treatments for softening lines and wrinkles caused by everyday facial movements. As we age, our skin gradually loses collagen and elasticity, which makes these lines more permanent. Botox works by gently relaxing targeted facial muscles, reducing their activity to smooth existing lines and help prevent new ones from forming. The result is a refreshed, natural appearance—never frozen—allowing you to keep full expression while softening unwanted wrinkles.

Treatment is quick and discreet, usually taking just 15 minutes, with results lasting around 3–4 months. Botox is popular with both men and women, from their mid-twenties to their sixties and beyond. While commonly used on the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet, it can also improve concerns such as gummy smiles, jaw clenching, dimpled chins, bunny lines, neck bands, and even excessive underarm sweating. Every treatment is tailored to your goals, ensuring safe, natural-looking results that leave you feeling confident and refreshed

What are the Side Effects of Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle treatments are generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects or complications. The most common side effect is temporary redness at the injection sites, which usually subsides quickly. It is important to avoid massaging or rubbing the treated areas after your anti-wrinkle injections, as this can cause the product to spread to unintended muscles.

In some cases, mild bruising may occur at the injection sites. To minimise the risk of bruising, we recommend taking Arnica tablets for one week before your appointment. If bruising does occur, applying a topical Arnica cream and icing the affected area can help speed up the healing process.

After your anti-wrinkle treatment, it is advisable to avoid strenuous exercise for up to 24 hours to allow the product to settle properly and to reduce the risk of side effects
