💉 What Is Botulinum Toxin?

Botulinum toxin is a prescription‑only medicine used to temporarily relax specific facial muscles. This can help reduce the appearance of lines formed by repeated expressions such as frowning, squinting, or smiling.

Common treatment areas include:

• Forehead lines

• Frown lines (glabella)

• Crow’s feet

• Bunny lines

• Underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis), following a medical assessment

Suitability is always assessed during a face‑to‑face consultation to ensure treatment is appropriate for you.

🧴 Preparing for Your Appointment

If treatment is deemed suitable a few simple steps can help ensure a smooth treatment experience:

• Avoid alcohol and blood‑thinning medication where possible (unless prescribed)

• Arrive with clean skin

• Share any medical conditions, medications, or previous treatments

• Stay well hydrated
