Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work?
Botulinum Toxin (BTX) temporarily relaxes the muscle by blocking neurotransmitter signalling, stopping contraction of muscles, thus prevents dynamic wrinkles from forming.
BTX gives the overlaying facial skin a smoother, softer and more youthful appearance, which is why it is the clinics most POPULAR treatment.
What areas does it treat?
The most common area treated, are the forehead, frown lines and crow’s feet.
It can also be used for bunny lines, smokers lines, brow lift, gummy smile, pebble chin, teeth grinding and facial slimming (see photo above).
Who can give BTX?
In the UK, BTX (A prescription only medication), can be administered by medical professionals, such as Doctors, Dentists and Nurses. While non-medical practitioners, e.g. beauty therapists, can also administer, they cannot treat any complications that may arise.
Are There Any Side Effects/Potential Complications?
There is the possibility of temporary, mild side effects, including slight bleeding, bruising, redness, tenderness over the injection site and headaches.
Occasionally the treatment can relax nearby muscle groups which could cause temporary drooping of the eyebrows, eyelids or mouth. This is temporary but may last a few weeks.
Rarely an individual will not respond to treatment.
Very rare complications include an allergic reaction.
Speak to Alison for more information, and real time risks.
Does It Work Immediately?
The effects of the BTX usually start to work around day 5-7, sometimes taking 14 days to take full effect.
How long do the effects last?
The effects of BTX last up to 3 months.
With repeated treatments, as the muscles weaken, the effects can last longer.
What Results Can I Expect?
If started early before wrinkles become permanent (static wrinkles), BTX will help to prevent this occuring.
If wrinkles are already static, it will help to smooth the lines and prevent then becoming deeper.
