When women first consider getting Botox, prevention is often the primary factor, since the early signs of ageing—such as crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles and frown lines—are beginning to show. Here are your questions answered!
Botox can last typically 3-4 months. The results may last longer if more units are used. The number of units not the volume injected that has direct correlation with the effectiveness of your Botox injections.
Dr Q can also create longer lasting results if you have these muscles injected regularly. This is because the Botox will have more impact on the muscles that are still not fully active. Also, you learn to animate and use different muscles. This also makes your result more pleasing.
For most patients, some softening of lines can be seen within 2-4 days, with maximum benefit at 2 weeks.
Shaping the brows requires a very detailed understanding of the underlying anatomy as well as assessing each individual while they are animating their brows. By carefully placing Botox in the muscles that depress the brow, you can cause the brow to rest and relax in a lifted position. There are limits to how much you can lift. You can raise the tail of the brow vs creating a raised arched brow vs creating a raised horizontal brow. It depends on the individual’s desired brow aesthetic goals.
The recovery time after Botox injection is usually 2 weeks. Although Botox can start working within 5 days, it can take up to 2 weeks for the full effect to occur. Any bruising from the injection should also settle by this time.
Botox treatment is often priced per area where each area refers to a group of muscles. Most commonly treated areas are frown, forehead and crows’ feet. At Luxe Skin, 1 area costs £175, 2 areas are £250 and 3 areas are £325.
