The injections are quick, use superfine needles and no anaesthetic is needed- if you feel anything it\u2019ll be a pinch for just a split second! You\u2019ll always be given aftercare advice as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cWill my face look frozen?\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Botox\u00ae works by relaxing the muscle injected, therefore reducing the contraction and smoothing the area. Only the area injected will be relaxed! Speaking to your practitioner to discuss your concerns will be key in tailoring the treatment\/dose for the look you would like to achieve, and of course, this is where going to a trained medical professional is important if a natural, subtle result is what you\u2019re looking for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cIsn\u2019t Botox\u00ae toxic?\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Botox\u00ae is safe and MHRA approved otherwise, of course, we wouldn\u2019t be using it! It is temporary and lasts approximately 3-4 months. There are no long-term side effects recorded to date. In fact, did you know it would take a dose of more than 100 times the average dose given for cosmetic use for Botox\u00ae treatments to be fatal!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cIs it bad for me to have Botox<strong>\u00ae<\/strong> before I have wrinkles?\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I\u2019m sure you have all heard the phrase \u2018prevention is better than cure\u2019, so no it is not bad! In fact, you can use Botox\u00ae to stop wrinkles from setting in the first place! Being proactive in your approach may also mean the treatment is actually needed less often when you\u2019re older so you can maintain that youthful, glowy appearance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
