How Botox Works

4. How Botox® Works

Facial Rejuvenation with Neurotoxin Treatments

Introduction

At our clinic, we offer targeted neurotoxin treatments (commonly known as Botox) to refresh and smooth facial lines. This non-surgical procedure is carefully administered by qualified clinicians who prioritise your safety, comfort and natural results. If you’re seeking a subtle, age-defying enhancement, this treatment might be ideal for you.

Benefits of Botox

Benefits

  • Softens dynamic wrinkles such as forehead lines, frown lines (glabellar region), and crow’s feet
  • Prevents new lines by temporarily reducing muscle movement in treated areas
  • Quick treatment time — often completed in under 30 minutes
  • Minimal downtime — most patients resume normal activities the same day
  • Natural-looking outcome when performed by an experienced practitioner
  • Adjunctive effects — in selected cases, neurotoxin may help manage excessive sweating, jaw clenching (bruxism) or mild TMJ discomfort

Treatment Process Botox

Treatment Process

  • Initial consultation & planning

    We begin with a facial assessment and a discussion of your concerns, goals, and medical history. We’ll identify the muscles contributing to the lines you wish to soften and outline a treatment plan.

  • Cleansing & marking

    The injection sites are cleansed and gently marked to guide precision.

  • Microinjections

    Using an ultra-fine needle, small doses of the neurotoxin are injected into specific facial muscles. You may feel a slight pinch, but discomfort is minimal and brief.

  • Post-injection checks

    We’ll review treated areas and advise you to remain upright (no bending) for a short period. We’ll also advise avoiding rubbing or applying pressure for several hours.

  • Follow-up & review

    A follow-up consultation (typically 10–14 days post-treatment) ensures you’re satisfied and allows for small adjustments if needed.

Aftercare & Recovery

Aftercare & Recovery

  • Avoid lying flat or bending forward for 4–6 hours

  • Skip saunas, hot tubs or facial treatments for at least 48 hours
  • Apply cold compresses gently if you feel mild swelling or discomfort
  • Facial muscle activity (smiling, frowning) is encouraged post-treatment to help the product settle
  • Most results begin to appear within 3–5 days, with full effect by 10–14 days
Who Is Suitable for Botox treatment?

Who Is Suitable?

This treatment is appropriate for adult men and women who:

  • Have mild to moderate dynamic wrinkles
  • Are seeking a non-surgical, low-risk refresh

  • Are in good general health

We will not recommend treatment if you:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have neuromuscular disorders

  • Have an active infection or skin disease in the treatment area

In such cases, we'll suggest viable alternatives or defer the treatment until conditions permit.

Alternatives & Complementary Options

Alternatives & Complementary Options

  • Dermal fillers — to restore volume in areas of age-related facial thinning
  • Chemical peels / laser resurfacing — to improve skin texture, pigmentation and fine lines
  • Skin-boosting injections (e.g. microneedling, PRP) — to stimulate collagen and skin renewal
  • Topical prescription creams / retinoids / medical skincare — for surface-level improvements
  • Combination therapies — many patients benefit from a tailored blend of treatments

During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the optimal approach (or combination) for your goals.
