• Botox is injected using a disposable syringe with a very fine needle; minute amounts of BOTOX muscle relaxant are injected very precisely into several locations on the face, which are determined by carefully examining the movements of the muscle of your face.
• The pain associated with the injections is minimal. We can minimise any potential discomfort if requested by applying a topical anaesthetic prior to treatment.
• We endeavour to keep the Botox injection experience gentle and pain free. Our trained professional team will put you at ease and support you through the whole experience.
• The injection procedure takes around fifteen minutes.
• The results of botox injections are a youthful refreshing look with a normal facial expression.

Botox injections pre treatment instructions
