Will Botox remove deep wrinkles?

Yes, Botox can be effective for reducing the appearance of certain types of wrinkles, particularly dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement, such as crow's feet or frown lines. However, for deep wrinkles that are static (not caused by muscle movement) or due to factors like sagging skin or loss of volume, other treatments such as fillers, laser therapy, or skin resurfacing might be more suitable for you. If you would like to discuss options to reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles, you can book a consultation with our team of practitioners, who are able to provide advice specific to your circumstances.

How does Botox work?

Botox works by temporarily blocking the signals that nerves send to muscles. When injected into specific muscles, it prevents those muscles from contracting, which helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines caused by repeated muscle movements. The effects typically last for three to six months, after which the muscle action gradually returns, and repeat treatments are usually necessary to maintain results.

Are Botox injections painful?

Botox is primarily used for cosmetic purposes, but it can also be used to treat various medical conditions, such as migraines, excessive sweating, and certain muscle disorders.

In summary, injections are generally well-tolerated and involve only mild discomfort. Many people describe the sensation as a quick pinch or sting at the injection site.
