FAQs
Made from a drug called Botulinum Toxin, BOTOX® injections relax the muscle to stop lines and wrinkles forming.
We target only the small, specific muscles responsible for unwanted lines and wrinkles, meaning your normal facial expressions will remain unaffected.
Administered correctly by a medical practitioner they can subtly smooth and soften the skin, restoring a youthful complexion.
Everyone’s pain tolerance is different.
Like most injections it can be slightly painful however we can offer you a topical anaesthetic cream which can be used prior to treatment to minimise any discomfort.
Again, everyone is different. Some people start to see a difference the very same day or following morning, however Botox can take 1 – 3 weeks for you to see it’s full effect.
So if you’re having it for a special occasion you’ll need to bear this in mind.
Not at all, you could have Botox in your lunchbreak and be back at your desk in the afternoon with your work colleagues none the wiser!
Some people can get some redness or minor bruising, however, we can offer you a neutral antiseptic makeup option to cover this up should you require it.
Well again, this all depends on many factors however as a general rule most treatments last for 3 – 6 months.
No, we recommend you don’t work up a sweat within the first 48 hours whilst the Botox has time to take effect.
What a shame, you’ll have to put your feet up! ;)
Following your consultation with Rachel you may be given some topical anaesthetic cream if you anticipate pain to be an issue for you. This can be applied 10 minutes to half an hour before your treatment. This will help to numb the area in preparation for your treatment. Rachel will then disinfect the area to be treated, may mark up the area and will then administer the Botox in as many injections as needed.
Don’t worry, Rachel will keep you informed all the way through the treatment so you are comfortable.
Of course! Rachel will offer you a free, no obligation consultation where she will go through a detailed assessment to discuss your needs.
We promise to never recommend you something that you don’t need. And, if you change your mind after the consultation that’s fine too! It’s your body, your decision.
That’s what we’re here for. No question is a silly question. Please feel free to ask. We want you to be 100% comfortable before you go ahead.
