What Is Botox and How Does It Work?
The Science Behind It
“Botox” is a brand name for botulinum toxin type A - a prescription medicine that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. By reducing the muscle activity that folds the skin, fine lines and wrinkles appear softer and less etched.
Licensed Botulinum Toxin Brands We Use
While Botox is the most recognised name (it was the first brand on the market), there are now several licensed versions available in the UK, each with its own strengths for treating different concerns. We stock 3 leading brands to optimise treatment plans.
- Botox®
- Nuceavia®
- Azzalure®
If you have a preference - just tell your practitioner.
Before and After

Your clinician will advise which options match your goals and facial anatomy.
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
If you’re constantly worrying about sweat patches, Botox can be a game-changer. It blocks the nerves responsible for activating sweat glands, offering months of dryness and confidence. Particularly in areas like underarms, hands, and feet.
Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Waking up with a sore jaw or dealing with damaged teeth? Botox can help by relaxing the jaw muscles responsible for grinding and clenching, giving you relief and preventing further damage.
Migraines
If you’re one of the many people dealing with chronic migraines, defined as 15 or more headache days a month for at least three months, Botox could be a real lifesaver. It works by relaxing the muscles and blocking the pain signals that trigger migraines, helping to reduce how often they strike and how intense they feel.
Is Botox right for me?
Botox is ideal for softening lines caused by facial expressions, such as frown or smile lines. For deeper or static lines that remain at rest, dermal fillers may be a more suitable option. It’s not suitable if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neuromuscular conditions. Your clinician will review your medical history to ensure safety and suitability.
Will Botox make my face look frozen?
No - Our approach focuses on softening lines while preserving natural expression.
What are potential side effects for Botox?
All medical treatments carry risks such as headache, mild bruising, or temporary asymmetry. Your practitioner will discuss these and how we minimise them at consultation.
How often should you get Botox?
Most patients return every 3–4 months. Interval can vary by metabolism and muscle strength.
Can you have Botox and Profhilo® at the same time?
Yes, we frequently combine Botox and Profhilo® treatments in the same session. Together they can reduce wrinkles and create firmer skin for a more youthful appearance.
What to Expect During Your Botox Treatment
Consultation and Medical Assessment
Every treatment begins with a consultation to understand your goals, medical history, and previous treatments. We assess muscle movement, skin quality, and proportions to plan a precise, conservative dose for natural results. If Botox isn’t right for you, we’ll recommend alternatives.
The Injection Process Step-By-Step
- Cleanse and map the treatment areas
- A series of small, precise injections using ultra-fine needles
- Aftercare advice and follow-up plan
Is there downtime?
You can return to usual activities immediately. Mild redness or small bumps typically settle within minutes to hours.
How Long Results Last
You’ll notice softening from day 3–5, with best results at 2 weeks. Effects typically last 3–4 months, but will vary depending on treatment plan and brand used. Regular maintenance helps sustain a smoother, more relaxed look.
Natural-looking results our patients love
We prioritise subtlety and proportion so you look like you - just fresher and better rested.
