Botulinum Toxin Injections

What Are Botulinum Toxin Injections?

Botulinum toxin injections are one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments used to soften and reduce the appearance of fine lines and dynamic wrinkles. The purified protein temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles, resulting in a smoother, more refreshed look.

How Do Botulinum Toxin Injections Work?

Every time you smile, frown, or raise your eyebrows, your facial muscles contract — eventually forming lines and wrinkles. Botulinum toxin works by blocking nerve signals to these muscles, causing them to relax. This reduces the movement that creates wrinkles, while preventing deeper lines from forming. The treatment is quick, safe, and minimally invasive.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to Expect

Your practitioner will assess your facial anatomy and discuss your goals before treatment. The injections are administered using a very fine needle, with minimal discomfort and no need for anaesthesia. A typical session takes just 10–20 minutes.

You can resume normal activities immediately afterward, although it’s advised to avoid lying down, strenuous exercise, or rubbing the area for a few hours.

How long do the results last?

Results typically appear within 3–7 days and last between 3–4 months. With consistent treatments, results may last longer over time.

Will I still look natural?

Absolutely. When done by a trained professional, botulinum toxin softens wrinkles while preserving your natural expressions — not a frozen or “plastic” look.

Does it hurt?

Most clients report only minor discomfort, often compared to a light pinprick. The procedure is quick and doesn’t require anaesthesia.

What age should I start?

While many begin in their 30s to address fine lines, younger adults also use it preventatively to delay signs of aging.

Are there any side effects?

Mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur at injection sites but usually resolves within hours to a couple of days. Serious side effects are rare when administered by a qualified professional.

Can I combine this with other treatments?

Yes! Botulinum toxin can be combined with dermal fillers, microneedling, or skin boosters to enhance overall rejuvenation results.

Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?

Yes! Microneedling pairs well with chemical peels, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), and targeted serums to enhance results. Your practitioner will recommend the best combination based on your skin goals.

How often should I repeat treatments?

Every 3–4 months is typical to maintain results. Your provider will guide you based on how your body metabolizes the product.
