Botox, Botox oh did I mention Botox?

There is so much to discuss when it comes to Botox and so many of your questions that need answering. I am here to do my best at providing you with a full understanding of the product, the process and the results expected. So let's get on with it.

What is Botox?

Botox is actually a brand of anti-wrinkle treatment but has adopted the name of the actual treatment. Many people in the aesthetic industry use the term anti-wrinkle treatment to describe what many would call Botox. Technically Botox is a trademarked term and can only be used if Botox the brand is being administered. I am able to use this term when describing the treatment as our clinic offers Botox as an option; we also offer Azzalure, which is a cheaper but just as effective option.

Botox is designed to eradicate (temporarily) or prevent wrinkles. This is commonly performed on the face and forehead, the three main areas being the eyebrow area, forehead and crow's feet. Botox can be used elsewhere to treat wrinkles, however it is not as common.

Why would someone use Botox?

At our clinic in Wolverhampton our team will ask the client the reason they want the treatment. It is important that we have an understanding of why this treatment is being requested as there may be a better alternative, which we will happily explain to the client. In most instances the treatment is requested because of lines on the forehead and corner of the eyes.

What should I do if I am unsure if this is right for me?

At Clinique Modèlè Aesthetics we strongly suggest that you contact us on 01902 238850 if you are unsure whether Botox is suitable for you. You will be offered a pre-consultation free of charge to discuss the treatment.

What age is the right age to start having Botox?

This is the most debated question regarding anti-wrinkle treatments, even between medical professionals. Some believe it is better to begin young and prevent the wrinkles from forming in the first place, while others believe the treatment should only be conducted when lines and wrinkles are visible. The truth is it will always be down to the individual.

It is important that the practitioner conducting the treatment is aware of the reason for the treatment and that a medical professional provides approval for it.

Are there any side effects with Botox?

Although rare, there are some side effects that can occur: headaches shortly after treatment, bumps from the needles, bruising and redness. Poorly administered Botox carries further risks, which is why we ensure the process is conducted professionally and with the necessary care.

How long do the results of Botox last?

The results of Botox last anywhere from 3 to 9 months — it all depends on the client. Clinique Modèlè Aesthetics have found that our results last on average around 8 months. The reason for such a discrepancy comes down to the product, the amount administered and where it is administered. We use the top two rated products in the market, Botox and Azzalure.

What are the benefits of Botox?

The benefits are slightly more obvious: the fact that lines and wrinkles can be prevented or disappear gives the skin a more youthful look. It can feel like the years have been rolled back post-treatment, and this has made a huge difference to the confidence of many of our clients.
