BOTOX COSMETIC^®

BOTOX COSMETIC^® temporarily reduces activity in selected facial muscles to soften expression lines, including frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet. It does not replace lost facial volume. At Laser Aesthetics, tell us which lines bother you and which expressions you want to preserve so we can discuss whether this treatment addresses your concern or whether another approach deserves consideration.

The amount of movement you want to retain is an important part of planning, but no injector can guarantee a particular expression or result. Bring examples of what you like and explain what would feel like too much change. We can discuss the proposed areas, the intended effect and the limitations before you decide, including how your response would be reviewed afterward.

The effect develops gradually rather than being complete when you leave. Temporary injection-site reactions, including bruising or tenderness, can occur. Ask when to assess the result, how to contact the clinic and which aftercare instructions apply to you. Unusual swallowing, speaking or breathing difficulties require immediate medical attention, even if they develop after you have returned home; do not wait for a routine review.

This is a prescription treatment requiring an appropriately authorized and trained healthcare professional. Training matters for facial assessment, product selection and recognizing complications, as well as the injections themselves. Ask who would treat you, who is involved in prescribing and how concerns afterward are handled. A consultation should leave you understanding the care around the procedure, not simply a price per unit.

Tell us about previous injections, including the product and date if known, all medications and supplements, allergies, and any muscle or nerve condition. Mention swallowing or breathing problems, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and infection near a proposed injection site. Bring records if you have them; if a detail is uncertain, say so rather than guessing. This information helps the clinician assess suitability before recommending treatment.
