What can Botox treat?

When referring to Botox, most people know of it as an injectable treatment used to combat signs of aging, particularly wrinkles by paralysing the underlying muscles. Botox is the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment, with more than 6 million Botox treatments administered each year.

What many don’t know is that Botox (a.k.a. Botulinum toxin) has many other beneficial uses, too — and they just might surprise you. These include excessive sweating, migraines, and acne. Botox can also be as a preventative measure.

How to fix frown lines

Using Botox for frown lines is a great way to reduce the look of grumpiness or anger. By simply reducing the frown line between the eyebrows, many people feel more youthful, refreshed and energised.

Botox relaxes the muscles that create fine lines and wrinkles and prevent further deepening of lines. It is a simple 10-minute procedure, with a few tiny injections directly into the muscles we want to treat.

How to get rid of forehead lines

Sometimes referred to as ‘surprise lines’, these appear on the forehead when your eyebrows are raised and as you age, they become more apparent. Excessive lines in this area can give the face and skin an aged appearance.

These horizontal lines are mostly due to ageing, sun damage or smoking. Botox can lessen the effect of these lines and during your consultation Doctor Q may consider combining a mix of Botox and dermal fillers for optimised results.

Jaw reduction using Botox

Botox can reduce the jaw size and even aid excessive teeth grinding and is an excellent alternative solution to surgery. Botulinum toxin injections weakens the corner part of the muscle, hence improve teeth grinding. The injection can also significantly reduce the size of this muscle and narrow the lower part of the face. Additional benefits from the side profile is that the cheeks become highlighted, adding definition and contour to the face.

What are the three areas of Botox?

The and most popular areas for Botox for the face are the areas surrounding around the eyes, the brows and the forehead.

Eyes – Commonly known as Crows Feet, Botox helps your muscle relax, with less need for squinting and crinkling around your eyes.
Brows – Any form of facial expression, smiling, laughing, and/or frowning all use the muscles around the brows.
Forehead – It is possible to recreate a smooth and natural look again to this area, improving your aesthetic appearance.

Given the complexity of face muscles, it is important to remember to always seek professional advice beforehand.

Where on the face can you have Botox?

Upper face:

Frown lines (between eyebrows)
Forehead lines
Top of the nose (bunny lines)

Eyes:

Eyebrows/hooded eyes
Wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet)
Under the eyes (tear trough)

Lower Face:

>Eyebrows/hooded eyes
Chin (to prevent dimpling)
Jawline & Neck
Jaw Angle (teeth grinding — bruxism)

Can Botox help with excess sweating?

Hyperhidrosis, the clinical term for excessive sweating, can cause patients frustration and distress. Botox can help patients go from being super-sweaty to nearly dry and the dosage can be tailored to the degree of dryness that they want. Results from a treatment session typically last four to six months.

I got fillers done on my nose to mouth lines and mouth to chin lines, I don’t really like needles but was pleasantly surprised as it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, there was a little nip and the procedure was over and done with, in no time at all. Dr Qureshi was very professional, he talked me through the procedure as he was doing it, putting me at ease. I saw a slight difference straight away but as the day went on it got better. I am amazed at the results, I will definitely be going back for more and I will be recommending Dr Qureshi to all my friends.

My friend Clare recommended Doctor Q to me. I had been going to a different clinic and had some problems after lip fillers but that practitioner would not return my calls and would not help me. Doctor Q was able to fix my lips and I just love them. Thanks so much Doctor Q.

Dr Q is very experienced and professional! He makes you feel totally at ease and he “really” listens to you & tailors his treatment to suit you personally. I have been to a couple of different places for my Botox but Dr Q is by far the best. If you want quality care, treatments and results then you should definitely go to Luxe Skin. Thanks again Doctor Q – see you soon 🙂

My sister and myself went to Dr Qureshi’s clinic in Glasgow, he was very professional and talked us through the process of Botox injections, as it was our first time. We were very anxious but Dr Qureshi answered all our queries and explained everything very professionally and put us at ease. I would highly recommend Dr Qureshi and will return as we were both delighted & very happy with our before & after care and much softer younger looking eyes/frown lines. I also contacted Dr Qureshi by text message and he always replied very quickly & professionally. He also does discounts on 1 or more areas. Highly recommended and very professional clinic with affordable prices.

I went to a national chain clinic before and did not realise that the treatment was not done by a doctor. They actually wanted much more money when I said I wanted a doctor to carry out my treatment. At Luxe Skin, I am always seen by Doctor Q. He is so easy to contact at any time. No receptionists or secretaries, you speak to him directly. I had Botox and fillers and I love the results. My forehead is so smooth and the deep lines around my nose have faded away.

I’ve been getting botox for over two years now in South Africa. After moving to the UK I had it done with one other provider. It was the worst experience, painful, ineffective and I had a black eye for two weeks. I came to see Dr Qureshi feeling a little anxious. He instantly put me at ease and it was the best results I’ve ever had, completely painless and he got it right on the 1st go. Thrilled with the results and I will become a regular of his now.

I came to Dr Qureshi as i felt i had developed smokers’ lines around my mouth which had been bothering me for many years. He recommended Fillers and Botox on my upper lip and I am delighted with the results. The lines have completely gone and i really feel like a new woman. Major confidence boost and I will be most certainly a regular client as I was very well looked after also. Thank you.

A few months ago I went to Dr Usman Qureshi for a wrinkle reduction treatment, I was so delighted with my treatment, I even took my mum and sister along with me this time so we could all have the treatments together. My mum had never had the treatment before and so was a little nervous, Dr Q put her at ease right away and carried out the procedure quickly and professionally. We are all delighted with the results and looking and feeling fabulous! Thanks Dr Q, see you soon.

The hollows under my eyes used to get me down but I was scared to get anything done. Doctor Q explained the procedure to me. He showed me before and after pictures of what it would look like. And I love the result. I wish I would have got this done much sooner.

This was my first time having Botox. I wanted to get rid of my frown lines and lift my eyebrows. Dr Qureshi explained everything to me clearly and answered all my questions (and I had a lot). He has very light hands, I hardly felt a thing. I will definitely be back with my friends.

I went to Dr Qureshi for my first ever Botox treatment, he was extremely professional and listened to what I wanted and what my expectations were. Treatment was quick and painless and I was made to feel at ease. After a few days, I could see visible effects and it is everything I expected. I will now return for subsequent treatments and am very happy with the service he provides.

Whenever I have had Botox in the past, I had these annoying lines above my eyebrows which would never go away. I went to Dr Q and he got rid of them without any problem! I am thrilled.

Whenever I had Botox in the past, my eyebrows dropped. I kept telling my previous practitioner but they said that’s the way it will be for me. I was amazed at the results at Luxe Skin. My frown has gone and eyebrows have lifted. I feel so much fresher. I have even signed up to Face Plan at Luxe Skin.

I wanted fillers under my eyes to fill the hollows. I was scared as this as it is such a sensitive area. Doctor Q used a cannula and was very gentle. Amazing result. Thank you so much Dr Q.

I used to go to this other place to get Botox done because it was cheap. But the last time my eyelid drooped. I called the practitioner but she kept ignoring me and was very rude. I went to Doctor Q. He explained that side effects can happen but there are ways to reduce the risk. He gave me some eye drops which helped by eyelid droop and after a month it resolved completely. I now get Botox at Luxe Skin. I would highly recommend Doctor Q.

I used to go to a different clinic which was much cheaper but I was never satisfied with the results. I always felt that the treatment was rushed. I wanted to try someone else and went to Doctor Q. He really listened to me and advised me on treatments that met my needs. I had Botox to 3 areas and filler around the mouth and nose. He is always available by phone or email for advice. I am really happy with the results.

I had my first ever Botox in 2 areas and after just 5 days can see a very positive difference. Dr Q is very professional and his clinic reflects this too. It was carried out after a consultation and did not take long. Luxe also offer payment plans which is also a big plus.I will definitely be a returning customer as I have every confidence in Dr Q. and love the result on my 54 year old face!Many thanks.

Dr. Q has done my lip fillers and wrinkle reduction. Lots of people tell me I’m looking really well but my look is natural so they don’t always guess I’ve had any work done and that’s exactly what I wanted. Dr. Q listens well and therefore provides the look you want. Nice relaxed atmosphere in the clinic. Treatments are painless (I use anaesthetic cream for lip fillers). The clinic is clean and bright. Love my little visits!
