Botox is an injectable treatment using botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce activity in selected muscles. It may be considered for expression lines on the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes. Assessment looks at the face both at rest and in movement, with the aim of a change that suits your facial character.
Not every line has the same cause. Movement-related lines differ from those associated with volume loss or skin texture. A doctor determines injection points and dose according to muscle strength, brow position, previous treatments and your expectations. Using more product does not necessarily produce a better outcome.
Discuss medicines, neuromuscular conditions, allergies, pregnancy and breastfeeding during consultation. Small areas of redness, tenderness or bruising may occur after injections. Avoid rubbing the treated areas and follow the doctor’s activity instructions. Temporary brow or eyelid drooping can occasionally occur.
Changes generally start over the first few days, with a fuller assessment at around two weeks. The effect is temporary and varies with the product, treatment area and individual muscle activity. A review considers movement and symmetry. Further treatment is planned according to clinical need rather than an automatic schedule.
