Frequently Asked Questions about botox

Please reach us at klaudia@savingbrows.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.

HOW DOES BOTOX WORK?

Injected into targeted treatment areas using an ultra-fine needle it works by blocking the nerve signals needed for facial muscles to contract. Once injected, the neuromodulator relaxes the muscles and decreases their movement to reduce the appearance of lines or wrinkles in the area. You will see your results gradually over 3-21 days following injection.

WHAT DOES A BOTOX TREATMENT FEEL LIKE?

Botox treatments are quick with minimal discomfort. The treatment requires no anesthesia or recovery time.

HOW LONG DOES BOTOX LAST?

The results of Botox typically last between 4-5 months. Over time the body metabolises the Botox, leading to the slow return of muscle movement in the treatment area.

WHEN SHOULD I START GETTING BOTOX?

Botox works best PREVENTIVELY and on dynamic lines. That being said, most patients typically start using Botox in their early 30s. The best time is usually when lines begin to stick around, but not too deeply.

IS BOTOX SAFE?

Yes, however, patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological diseases should not receive Botox treatments.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOTOX AND FILLER?

People easily get these two types of injectables confused all the time, but here’s an easy way to distinguish between the two: Botox is for limiting muscle movement, fillers are for restoring volume.

WHAT MEDICAL CONDITIONS CAN BE TREATED WITH BOTOX?

Botox has been used for decades in the medical industry. These injections may be recommended for the treatment of excessive sweating, chronic migraines, jaw pain, TMJ pain and others.
