Botox Treatment
At the time of the Botox injection, one or more methods will be used to numb the area, such as topical anaesthesia or ice and vibration anaesthesia (which uses massage to reduce discomfort).
A thin needle will be used to inject tiny amounts of botulinum toxin into your skin or muscles. The number of botox injections needed depends on many factors, including the extent of the area being treated.
Although it is a safe procedure, there are possible risks involved like:
- Temporary bruising and redness.
- Slight discomfort during the injection, which disappears immediately after.
- Possible headaches which fade away within 24 to 48 hours.
Types of Botox Treatments
1. Botox Brow Lift
The purpose of the brow lift is evident in its name. Tension in the brow bone and surrounding areas can cause the brows to furrow and droop, obstructing the view of the eyelid. Botox injections work by relaxing the muscles that contribute to this drooping, while also smoothing the area around the brows. This results in an overall refreshed and youthful appearance.
Treatment Time: 20 minutes
Results: Full results visible 2 weeks after treatment
Results last 4-6 months
2. Bunny Lines Botox Injection
Bunny lines appear when you scrunch your nose, creating lines around the bridge. These lines can also be prominent when smiling, often resembling laughter lines. Botox injections, typically at the top of the nose, relax the muscles responsible for these reactions. Addressing these natural lines in the middle of the face alongside the forehead and mouth lines is crucial for maintaining clear, wrinkle-free skin.
Treatment Time: 15 minutes
Results: Full results visible 2 weeks after treatment
Results last 3-6 months
3. Nasal Tip Botox Injection
One of our advanced Botox treatments is injections into the tip of the nose to prevent the nose from dripping or drooping. Dripping of the nose is something that can be noticed when you smile. The injections will lift the tip of the nose by relaxing the muscles that are pulling it down and overall giving more definition to the nose.
Treatment time: 30 minutes
Results: Full results 2 weeks after treatment
Results last 6 months
4. Gummy Smile Botox Injection
A gummy smile refers to a smile where the upper lip becomes thin and lifts to show your teeth and gums. This is due to an overactive muscle in the top lip causing it to pull back when over strenuous movement occurs in that area. The Botox injections are administered in the nose-to-mouth lines, which channels a relaxant to that muscle. This results in less of your gums showing when you smile.
Treatment time: 15 minutes
Results: Lip will start relaxing 3-4 days after treatment with full results 2 weeks after
Results last 4-6 months
5. Perioral Rhytides / Smoker’s Lines Botox Injection
Smoker’s lines are a gathering of thin vertical lines stemming from the lips caused by ageing and are more common in those with a history of smoking. Lips tend to lose volume as we age and this causes the mouth to be surrounded with fine lines due to a repetitive bunching of the muscles around the mouth. Our Botox treatment can help to erase these lines and relax the muscles in the area. This is an advanced treatment due to the precision needed in injecting around the lip.
Treatment time: 20 minutes
Results: 3-10 days
Results last 4-6 months
6. Downturned Mouth Botox Injection
As we age, the skin around the corners of our mouths begins to droop downwards. This causes a “downturned mouth” which can resemble an upset expression when relaxed. This is because the Depressor Anguli Oris muscle has been overworked and is causing the corners of the mouth to droop. By relaxing this muscle with Botox injections, we can lift it back up to its natural position. Some like to do this treatment with a combination of dermal fillers to increase volume in this area.
Treatment time: 30 minutes
Results: maximum results seen 2 weeks after treatment
Results last 4-6 months
7. Puckered Chin Botox Injection
As we age we start to lose collagen and elasticity around the face, causing certain features to droop and skin to become loose. As the mouth is a part of the face that is continuously working, a lot of the ageing can begin here. A puckered chin happens when the chin forms large indents and lines when the mouth holds expression. This can be common in all ages but can progress as we age. Botox injections relax the muscles causing this effect on the face and can help to make your profile more defined.
Treatment time: 30 minutes
Results: maximum results seen 2 weeks after treatment
Results last 4-6 months
8. Masseter Muscle / Angelina Jolie Jawline Botox Injection
Some women may feel that their jawline is too defined and masculine, and may want to soften their facial profile. Overactive use of the teeth clenching together can cause this more “masculine-looking” jawline due to the tension created in the muscles around the mouth and jaw. To address the issue, Botox is injected into the area to relax the jaw muscles giving the face a slimmer appearance.
Treatment time: 30 – 40 minutes
Results: 10-14 days after treatment
Results last 4-6 months
9. Platysmal Bands / Nefertiti Lift Botox Injection
This Botox procedure is used to rejuvenate the neck and jawline. By injecting Botox into the platysma muscles (the vertical bands in the neck), the treatment smooths out wrinkles, reduces the appearance of sagging skin and enhances jawline definition. Named after Queen Nefertiti, who was known for her elegant neck and sharp jawline, this procedure provides a subtle lift, creating a more youthful and refined appearance with minimal downtime.
Treatment time: 45 minutes
Results: 2 weeks after treatment
Results last 6 months
10. Hyperhidrosis / Excessive Sweating Botox Injection
Sweating is a natural occurrence in all of us. Whether it’s clammy hands or sweaty armpits, it happens to everyone. However, sweating can be embarrassing and some can find it more excessive than others, affecting daily life. To address this issue, Botox is injected into the problem area (usually the armpits) to temporarily prevent excessive sweating.
Treatment time: 45 minutes
Results: 7-14 days
Results last 6-9 months
