Botox is a prescription-only treatment used to soften the appearance of expression lines and create a fresher, more rested look while keeping natural movement. At Louise Evans Aesthetics, treatments are carried out with a focus on safe, subtle and natural-looking results. What Botox Can Help With.... Botox can be used to treat: Frown lines between the brows Forehead lines Crow’s feet Brow lift Bunny lines Dimpled chin Downturned mouth corners Jawline slimming Lipstick lines Neck bands Excessive sweating Botox works by relaxing specific facial muscles that repeatedly contract and create lines over time. Your Consultation.... Every Botox treatment begins with a full consultation. We will assess your facial anatomy, muscle movement, medical history and treatment goals before deciding whether Botox is suitable for you. Botox is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Your dose and placement will be carefully tailored to your face, so the result looks balanced, refreshed and still like you. What to Expect.... The treatment itself is quick and involves a series of small injections using a fine needle. Most appointments take around 20–30 minutes. There is usually minimal downtime, although you may have small bumps, redness or mild bruising immediately afterwards. These usually settle quickly. Results typically begin to appear within a few days, with the full effect visible at around 2 weeks. Results.... Botox results usually last around 3–4 months, although this can vary depending on your metabolism, muscle strength, lifestyle and treatment area. The aim is not to freeze the face, but to soften lines, reduce harsh expression and help you look more rested. Aftercare.... After your treatment, you will be given full aftercare advice. This usually includes avoiding rubbing the treated area, intense exercise, alcohol, saunas and facial treatments for the advised period after treatment. A review appointment may be recommended around 2 weeks after treatment, especially for new patients. Safety.... Botox is a medical treatment and should only be carried out after a proper consultation by an appropriately trained practitioner after a face to face consultation. As a nurse-led clinic, patient safety, assessment, consent and aftercare are at the heart of every treatment. Is Botox Right for Me?.... Botox may be suitable if you are noticing expression lines at rest, heaviness around the brows, tension in certain facial muscles or simply want a fresher, more rested appearance.
