What are Botox Injections?

Botox injections use a purified neurotoxin to temporarily paralyse targeted facial muscles. The temporary paralysis lasts between 3 to 6 months, depending on the treatments area and individual response.

Often used to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, it can also be used for both cosmetic and medical applications. From excess sweating and headache relief, through to facial balancing and skin rejuvenation.

Types of Botox treatments we offer in London

Polynucleotides

Polynucleotides are injected into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, promoting skin repair and rejuvenation. This treatment is ideal for improving skin elasticity, hydration, and overall texture for a healthier and more youthful appearance.

Polynucleotides also benefit from anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce redness and irritation, leaving your skin refreshed and revitalised.

Salmon sperm facial

A cutting-edge treatment that uses DNA extracted from salmon sperm to boost skin regeneration. Rich in nutrients and antioxidants, this treatment promotes cell turnover, improves hydration, and enhances the skin's natural barrier function.

Salmon sperm facials are particularly effective for reducing fine lines, improving skin elasticity, and achieving a radiant complexion.

Facial symmetry

Botox can be used to correct facial asymmetry by relaxing specific muscles that may be pulling unevenly on certain areas of the face. Whether it is lifting a drooping brow or balancing out a smile, a more proportionate appearance is achieved.

The treatment provides a subtle yet impactful way to enhance your natural beauty while maintaining your unique features.

Headache and tension relief

Botox is an effective treatment for chronic migraines and tension headaches by targeting specific muscles in the head and neck that contribute to pain. It works by blocking pain signals and relaxing tight muscles, reducing both the frequency and severity of headaches.

Masseter Botox (jaw clenching)

The masseter muscle is responsible for chewing and often contributes to jaw clenching or teeth grinding. By relaxing this muscle, Botox can alleviate tension in the jaw to reduce TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain. Both a functional and cosmetic treatment, offering relief while enhancing facial aesthetics.

Hyperhidrosis (Excessive sweating)

Effectively treats hyperhidrosis by blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands. Often used in areas like the underarms, palms, or soles of the feet. This significantly reduces excessive sweating, allowing you to feel more confident in social or professional settings.

Smooth out fine lines and wrinkles

One of the most popular uses of Botox is to smooth out wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions. Leading to concerns such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. By relaxing the underlying muscles, these lines are softened to prevent deepening over time.

The result is a smoother, more youthful look that appears natural and refreshed.

How long does Botox last?

The effects typically last between 3 to 6 months. However individual results may vary due to several factors:

  • Dosage: Higher doses of Botox generally provide longer-lasting results.
  • Treatment area: Areas with more muscle movement, such as the forehead, may experience faster breakdown of Botox compared to areas with less movement.
  • Lifestyle factors: Smoking, excessive sun exposure, and high stress levels can accelerate the breakdown of Botox, potentially shortening its effectiveness
  • Individual response: Each person's body reacts differently, affecting how long the treatment results last.

To maximise the longevity of your results, it is recommended to follow our post-treatment instructions, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and protect your skin from sun damage.

Botox Injections London FAQs

How does Botox work?

Botox is a muscle relaxant. When injected into specific muscles, it prevents nerve signals from reaching the muscle, causing temporary paralysis. This mechanism allows for the reduction of wrinkles, to treat muscle spasms, and address various medical conditions.

Does Botox hurt?

The injections can cause some discomfort, but the pain is generally minimal. Pain sensation varies among individuals and depends on the injection site.

Can you drink alcohol after Botox Injections?

When treated with Botox, it is recommended to avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours after treatment. Alcohol can increase the risk of bruising and may potentially interact with the treatment.

Can you exercise after Botox?

It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours after injections. This allows the toxin to settle in the targeted muscles and reduces the risk of it spreading to unintended areas.

What age is best to start Botox?

There is no "best" age to start, as it depends on individual needs and goals. Many people begin in their late 20s to early 30s for preventative measures. But it is essential to consult with a qualified professional to determine if Botox is appropriate for you.

Is Botox safe?

When administered by trained professionals, Botox is generally considered safe. It is crucial to receive treatment from licensed practitioners in an appropriate healthcare setting.

How often can you have Botox?

Typically, Botox treatments are recommended every 3-4 months. The effects usually last 3-6 months, depending on various factors such as the treated area, dosage, and individual metabolism.
