Will Botox make my face look frozen?
A carefully planned treatment aims to soften selected muscle activity—not remove every expression. The result depends on facial anatomy, dose, placement and your desired outcome. Discuss how subtle or noticeable you want the change to be during consultation.
When will I see results?
Some people notice changes within a few days, while the fuller effect is commonly reviewed around two weeks after treatment. Timelines vary between individuals and treatment areas.
How long do the results last?
Results are temporary. Duration varies according to the area treated, dose, muscle activity, metabolism and previous treatments. Your doctor can advise when a review may be appropriate.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is usually minimal, but temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, small marks or bruising may occur. Follow your doctor’s instructions before returning to exercise, heat exposure or other facial treatments.
Is Botox suitable for everyone?
No. Suitability depends on your medical history, medicines, treatment area and goals. It may not be advised in certain conditions, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or when there is infection near the treatment area. A medical consultation is essential.
Who performs the treatment?
Botulinum toxin is a prescription treatment and should be administered by an appropriately qualified medical professional after assessing your suitability. Ask the clinic about the treating professional’s credentials during your consultation.
