Everything You Need to Know About Botox in Jesmond

Many different products contain botulinum toxin and each has its own specific indications and advantages. These include reduction of forehead and frown lines, crow’s feet, glabellar lines (between the eyebrows), neck bands, excessive sweating, jawline slimming and teeth grinding. It can be used alone or in combination with dermal fillers to achieve the desired result.

Before a treatment, a small amount of topical numbing cream will be applied to the area. Most clients will choose to have this applied to their nose, forehead or brow line. If you have a very low pain threshold or are particularly sensitive to needles, it is worth noting this on your medical history form and requesting that your practitioner applies the cream earlier in the consultation.

The treatment itself takes about 20-30 minutes to perform, and it is a relatively painless treatment. It is important to avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen or fish oil supplements before your appointment as these can increase bleeding and bruising.
