Botulinum Toxin Treatment
A prescription injectable used to soften the appearance of lines caused by facial movement.
What is it?
Botulinum toxin is an injectable prescription medicine that temporarily reduces the activity of specific facial muscles. It is most commonly used in areas where lines form through repeated expression, such as the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. Because it is a prescription-only medicine, it can only be prescribed for you by a qualified independent prescriber after a face-to-face assessment.
What it is designed to address
- The appearance of lines that form through facial movement
- Forehead lines, frown lines and lines around the eyes
- Excessive sweating in some cases, where clinically appropriate
What happens at your appointment
Your appointment begins with a face-to-face consultation with your prescriber. She will take a full medical history, discuss what you are hoping to achieve, examine the area, and explain what is and is not realistic. If treatment is clinically appropriate and you wish to go ahead, you will give written consent and the treatment is carried out in the same visit.
Results
Any effect develops gradually over the days following treatment rather than immediately, and it is temporary. How long it lasts varies considerably from person to person. A review appointment is usually arranged so your clinician can assess how you have responded.
Aftercare
You will be given a written aftercare plan before you leave, specific to the treatment you have had. As a general principle, avoid heat, strenuous exercise, alcohol and make-up on the treated area for the period your clinician specifies, protect the area from the sun, and contact the clinic if anything concerns you.
