Botox drug practitioners have been using for years to treat wrinkles and facial creases.

Botox is a brand name of a toxin made by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.

Botox is the term you hear
most often because it was the first injectable botulinum toxin

Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can’t contract.

That makes wrinkles relax and soften.

Botox is most often used on forehead lines, crow’s feet (lines around the eye), migraines, muscle tension, and frown lines.

Getting Botox takes only a few minutes. You won’t need anaesthesia.

We use a small needle to inject Botox into specific desired areas with only minor discomfort.

It generally takes 7 to 14 days to take full effect.

It’s best to avoid alcohol starting at least 1 week before the procedure.

You should also stop taking aspirin and anti-inflammatory medication 2 weeks before treatment to help prevent bruising

You may have some temporary side effects after a Botox injection. These could include:

Bruising. This is the most common side effect and will go away.

Headaches. Typically, these are rare and end in 24 to 48 hours.

Eyelid drooping. This happens with only a small percentage of people and usually goes away
within 3 weeks. It usually happens when the Botox moves around, so don’t rub the treated
area
