BOTOX TREATMENT

Botox is one of the most popular and common treatments for wrinkles. The treatment involves several targeted injections of Botox – purified protein that relaxes the tiny muscles that cause wrinkles. Botox treatment results in smoother, rejuvenated skin.

Most of the fine lines and wrinkles are a result of our facial expressions. Facial expressions such as smiling, and frowning, result in ‘dynamic’ wrinkles. Over time these expressions become permanent on our faces resulting in ‘static’ lines. Together with our expressions and environmental factors, our skin is exposed, and wrinkles on the face are created.

Botox injections are used to relax specific facial muscles that cause dynamic lines. Whilst the treatment gradually irons out these lines, it also prevents new lines from being created.
The Botox treatment does not affect your natural expressions – the result is simply a relaxed, rejuvenated, and refreshed look.

The procedure is simple and straightforward, with no downtime. You can start seeing full results in seven days. Your skin condition will improve for up to a month. Botox has gained a proven 20-year safety record, it is one of the most popular, effective, and safe treatments for wrinkles. But it is not a permanent solution and you will require touch-ups every 3-5 months depending on your skin.

BOTOX – PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS (BEFORE CARE)

1 Week Before

• Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (if medically safe): aspirin, NSAIDs, vitamin E, fish oil, ginkgo, garlic — to reduce bruising.
• Avoid alcohol to minimize swelling and bruising.
• Avoid intense sun exposure or tanning beds.

Day of Treatment

• Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face.
• Eat a light meal and stay hydrated.
• Inform your provider of all medications, supplements, allergies, and any health conditions.
• Discuss facial expressions and treatment goals with your provider.

BOTOX – POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS (AFTER CARE)

First 4–6 Hours

• Remain upright; do not lie down or bend over.
• Do not rub, press, or massage the treated area.
• Avoid washing the face, makeup or skincare products directly on injection sites.

First 24 Hours

• Avoid vigorous exercise, hot yoga, saunas, or steam rooms.
• Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine.
• Don’t sleep on the treated area on the treated day
• Keep facial muscles active by smiling, frowning, and raising eyebrows — this helps Botox bind effectively.

First week

• Sleep on your back if possible; avoid face-down sleeping.
• Use cold compresses only if swelling or minor bruising occurs.
• Full effects appear in 7–14 days.
• Mild redness, swelling, or headache may occur — usually resolves quickly.
