questions

Are Botox® & Dysport® treatments available at all Skin Renewal clinics?
What are botulinum toxin treatments, and how do they work?

Botulinum toxin treatments, such as Botox® and Dysport® injections, temporarily inhibit muscle movement. This reduces the repetitive facial motions that cause wrinkles, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance.

What aftercare should you follow after receiving botulinum toxin treatment?

Following the correct aftercare is essential to ensure optimal results and minimise the risk of side effects after your Botulinum Toxin treatment.

What to do after your treatment:

  • Stay upright for 3 to 4 hours post-treatment to prevent the product from migrating.
  • Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours.
  • Use gentle skincare and always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin.
  • Apply a cold compress if needed to reduce any minor swelling or bruising.

What to avoid after your treatment:

  • Strenuous exercise, alcohol, and anti-inflammatory medication should be avoided for 24 hours.
  • Do not lie flat or sleep on the treated area for at least 4 hours.
  • Avoid facials, massages, or skin treatments for two weeks after your Botulinum treatment.
Do you need a two-week follow-up appointment with your doctor?

A two-week follow-up appointment is an essential part of your Botulinum treatment process. It allows your doctor to assess how well the treatment has settled, ensuring you achieve the desired results. During this appointment, your doctor can:

  • Evaluate the treatment outcome: Check if the Botulinum has been evenly distributed and if the effects meet your expectations.
  • Monitor side effects: Identify minor side effects like swelling or bruising that need attention.
  • Make adjustments if needed: Determine whether additional treatments or touch-ups are necessary to optimise your results.
  • Refine your aftercare: Discuss any concerns, answer your questions, and provide personalised aftercare recommendations to support the best outcome.

This follow-up is a proactive step to ensure your safety and satisfaction while maximising the benefits of your treatment.

How much Botox® or Dysport® is needed for each area?

The dosage of Botox® or Dysport® varies per patient due to factors such as muscle mass (men often require higher doses), individual facial expression levels, muscle recruitment post-treatment, biochemical differences (e.g., metabolism changes from fat burners), and skin condition (e.g., sun damage affecting treatment efficacy).

Are there any side effects or risks associated with botulinum toxin treatments?

Common risks include bruising and temporary headaches, while infections are rare. Allergic reactions to these brands are exceedingly uncommon. Although botulinum toxin doses are generally safe, caution is advised during pregnancy due to the lack of official risk studies in this regard.

What to expect after a Botox® or Dysport® injectable treatment?

After a Botulinum Toxin procedure, mild side effects like small bumps or redness at injection sites may occur but typically resolve within minutes to a few days. To prevent toxin diffusion, avoid lying down for 4 hours and exercising for 24 hours post-treatment. Regular skincare and makeup can be resumed immediately.

To minimise bruising, avoid aspirin or high-dose Vitamin E for 48 hours before the

How long does Botox® or Dysport® last?

Results from botulinum toxin treatment appear within 4 days, with full effects by 14 days, lasting up to 4 months, depending on dosage and response. "Baby Botox®" uses half the dose for a shorter effect (6–8 weeks), which is ideal for actors who need expressions.

Repeated treatments may prolong results, though hyperactive brows can shorten the duration due to faster toxin metabolism.

Can Botox® or Dysport® injections be combined with other aesthetic treatments?

Yes, Botox® or Dysport® injections can be safely combined with other cosmetic treatments, such as dermal fillers, chemical peels, or laser treatments, to enhance overall facial rejuvenation. Our doctors can create a customised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Why aren't your Botox® / Dysport® lasting as long as it used to?

Botox® and Dysport® may wear off sooner due to factors like sub-optimal dosing, zinc deficiency, medication interactions (such as PPIs or antibiotics), improper product storage, or rapid metabolism. Lifestyle factors and your body's unique response contribute to botulinum toxin longevity.
