Botox frequently asked questions

Our botox blog will help you through your first injection with some frequently asked questions and next week we will look in more detail at other uses for botox

Does it hurt?

Because the needle is so fine and such small substance quantities are used, the pain is minimal. No sedation or local anaesthesia is required. You may experience some itching over the treated area immediately after treatment.

How and where is the botox administered?

Botox is usually used on the upper third of the face, to tackle frown lines, forehead creases and crows’ feet around the eyes. Lines around the lips and corners of the mouth are also treatable.

The treatment is injected directly into the wrinkles with a tiny needle which results in temporarily relaxing the facial muscles and preventing the formation of wrinkles, whilst existing lines are softened.

How long does the treatment take?

Botox injections usually take no longer than 10 to 15 minutes. The time for treatment is ultimately dependent on how many areas are being treated.

How long do the results last?

Results following treatment will take from 4-10 days to become visible. The results will last between 2-4 months depending on lifestyle factors and how your muscles react to the effects of the Botox
