About Botulinum Therapy<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Botulinum therapy, often known as anti-wrinkle injections, is a prescription-only treatment used to soften dynamic lines \u2013 the lines that form through repeated facial expressions, such as frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines and crow\u2019s feet around the eyes.<\/p>

Very small, precise amounts of a purified protein are injected into specific facial muscles. This temporarily relaxes those muscles so the skin above them looks smoother and more rested, while still allowing natural movement and expression.<\/p>

At Smart Aesthetic, every treatment starts with a face-to-face consultation with a qualified prescriber. We review your medical history, talk through your goals and explain the benefits, risks and alternatives, and treatment only goes ahead if it is safe and suitable for you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Consultation & Assessment<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>

Your appointment begins with a face-to-face consultation. Your prescriber will go through your medical history, current medicines, allergies and any previous aesthetic treatments, assess how your facial muscles move, and agree a personalised plan with you before you give written consent.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

The Treatment<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>

The skin is cleansed and a small number of injections are placed into the targeted muscles using a very fine needle. The procedure usually takes 10\u201320 minutes, most people describe it as a mild pinch, and you can return to most everyday activities straight away.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

When You\u2019ll See Results<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>

Results develop gradually. You will usually notice a difference within 3\u20135 days, with the full effect at around two weeks. Results typically last 3\u20134 months, although this varies from person to person depending on factors such as muscle strength, metabolism and lifestyle.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Aftercare & Review<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>

For the rest of the day, avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area, lying flat for four hours, strenuous exercise, alcohol, saunas and steam rooms. We invite you back for a review at around two weeks to check your results and answer any questions.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
