Usually, this is when someone fails to listen to post-treatment instructions and rubs in that expensive night cream or does that home facial massage they learnt on YouTube before bed. On rare occasions, it can be because we are too close to another muscle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, this spread may cause drooping of an eyelid (1% risk), BUT rest assured at Unndoo our experienced injectors carrying out a thorough consultation and ask you as a client to follow post-treatment instructions strictly to minimise this risk.&nbsp; These effects luckily tend to only last for 1-6 weeks and throughout we can also provide some eye-drops to help speed up the healing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Too Much Weakness Of The Muscles \u2013 Males = Good.&nbsp;&nbsp;Females = Bad<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:26% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"260\" src=\"https:\/\/blogtest.unndoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Picture-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5282\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>The face, as you know, is made up of a lot of muscles and the biggest one we target is the frontalis (forehead) muscle, which is solely responsible for lifting the eyebrows AND unfortunately all the horizontal lines across the forehead which we hate. We need to make sure we assess and treat the Frontalis VERY carefully because over-treating it can lead to heavy brows (1% risk), which isn\u2019t a good look on many females (it ages you more!) but is more forgiving in males.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s all about finding the right balance in treating the muscles pulling everything down Vs the big muscle pulling everything up (Frontalis)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Excessive Lateral Brow Elevation \u2013 aka \u201cSPOCK\u201d<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>\u201cTo infinity and Beyond!\u201d\u2026..No no\u2026.That\u2019s Buzz Lightyear!&#8230;.Oh yes\u2026.\u201cLive Long and Prosper!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:27% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"254\" height=\"230\" src=\"https:\/\/blogtest.unndoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Picture-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5283\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Whilst many may wish to have those iconic eyebrows and spectacular ears, I\u2019m sure the rest of us would like to save that outfit for Halloween or Comic Con (if you can ever get tickets!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that big muscle pulling everything up; the frontalis, well\u2026 if we relax the central part of it from working then it prevents the central part of the eyebrow from lifting. (See where I\u2019m going with this?). However, when this occurs and the outer portion of the frontalis continues working, it causes the outer portions of the eyebrow to lift.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>BUT DO NOT WORRY!<\/em> We can correct this quite simply by injecting a small amount of Botox\u00ae at the point of elevation.

The last thing we as injectors want to do is inject too much toxin causing a lack of movement \u2013 which in the forehead region can be quite easy to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you discuss your aesthetic goals with your clinician \u2013 do you want that frozen look? OR look as natural as possible? We as injectors always try to make sure we find the optimal dosage for each client based on their muscle mass and needs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We always try to build up from a lower dose over time! &nbsp;Good things come to those who wait!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Every Little Thing Counts \u2013 Minor &amp; Temporary Side Effects<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruising, Swelling, Irritation, Discomfort, little bump\u2013 Completely normal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, we are all human and not miracle workers, so yes we use very, very, very tiny needles to deposit the Botox\u00ae, which may cause a little bruising or irritation. Remember that these side effects are usually very minimal and related more to the injection than the Botox\u00ae being administered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rest assured, all these minor discomforts can be managed by using ice packs, a little time and makeup. Headaches can also be common as everything starts to feel \u201ctighter\u201d, but again analgesics such as Paracetamol tend to manage this side effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allergic reactions to Botox\u00ae can happen but your clinician should always take a full medical history beforehand! The key is to know if you\u2019re allergic to egg\/cows milk; Albumin is a protein used in Botox\u00ae and found naturally in eggs so if you are\u2026stay away and embrace those fine lines!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>REMEMBER<\/strong> &#8211; The effects of Botox\u00ae only last a few months (depending on how active you are), so ANY adverse effects usually only last this duration!
