Botox
Softening expression lines on the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes.
What it is
Botox relaxes the specific muscles that create expression lines, so the skin above them creases less. It is used most commonly for crow’s feet, forehead lines and the frown lines between the eyebrows.
It is quick, with little to no downtime, so most people return to their day straight afterwards. Results typically appear within a few days and last for several months, which makes it low-maintenance rather than permanent.
What it treats
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
Who it suits
- Lines that appear with expression rather than at rest
- People wanting a subtle, reversible change
- Those who prefer maintenance over a permanent result
What to expect
Your provider assesses whether it is appropriate for you. Tell them about medications, allergies and any previous injectable treatment.
A series of small injections into the targeted muscles. It takes minutes.
Little to no downtime. Your provider will explain what to avoid for the rest of the day.
Typically visible within a few days, developing over about two weeks, and lasting several months before a repeat is considered.
This page is general information, not medical advice. Whether a treatment is appropriate for you depends on your skin and your medical history — that is what a consultation is for.
Quick answers to questions you may have
How long does it last?
Typically several months. It is not permanent, which is part of the appeal — it can be adjusted or simply stopped.
Will I look frozen?
That is a question of dosing and placement, and it is worth raising directly at consultation. Describe the look you want, including how much movement you want to keep.
What is the difference between Botox and fillers?
Botox relaxes muscles to soften lines made by movement. Fillers add volume to areas that have lost it. They address different problems and are often discussed together.
Who should not have it?
It is not suitable for everyone — including during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and with certain allergies or conditions. That assessment happens before anything is booked.
