Frown lines
Botox for frown lines is injected into 5 areas between the eyebrows which is a great way to stop the muscles contracting and stopping you from frowning. Botox doesn't eliminate the lines but will stop them getting worse. They do soften quite a lot and in some cases disappear altogther. I would recommend a skin booster or microneedling to help encourage the production of collagen to the area.

AFTERCARE
During the first 24–48 hours after treatment you will experience redness, swelling and tenderness in the treated areas. These responses are normal and resolve quickly and spontaneously over the next 2-4 days. You can apply light water-based or mineral makeup where necessary. Drink plenty of cold water for 48 hours after the procedure.
Bruising at the site of injection is also common and clears completely in 1-10 days.
Swelling and bruising can give the appearance of ‘unevenness’ in the area treated. This will settle once the swelling and bruising has gone. Please contact the clinic for advice if there is any ‘unevenness’ present after 14 days.
After your Anti-wrinkle injections treatment you should:
-
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, hot drinks and spicy food for 24 hours, as these may exacerbate bruising and swelling.
- Stay upright for at least 4 hours
-
Avoid medications such as aspirin or nurofen for 1-2 weeks as they are blood thinning agents and may exacerbate bruising (if these medications have been advised by your GP please check with your GP before stopping them)
-
Avoid supplements such as multivitamins, fish oils, glucosamine and Vitamin B or Vitamin E, which are blood thinning agents and may exacerbate bruising for 1-2 weeks (if these supplements have been advised by your GP please check with your GP before stopping them)
-
Avoid exercise/exertion for 24 hours
-
Avoid excess sun exposure or solarium use for 24 hours
-
Apply ice frequently as required to the area injected for up to 6 hours after the treatment. This will prevent or help to alleviate any bruising. It will also help to reduce any swelling.
You can use Arnica cream and arnica tablets to help alleviate any bruising. NOTE: bruises can last 1-10 days. They are TEMPORARY and will completely disappear over time with no effect on your treatment. Once bruising has formed (within the first 48 hours) it is better to apply warmth to the area to encourage the body’s natural reabsorption of the bruise from the skin.
