Is Botox right for me?

  • For lines that appear when you frown, raise your brows or smile, and for jaw slimming, gummy smile, brow lift and neck bands.
  • A fifteen-minute appointment with a few tiny injections; you go straight back to your day.
  • The effect appears over three to seven days and lasts three to four months; the natural look depends on the dose and the doctor.
Overview

Turn back time, keep the expression.

Botox remains the most reliable treatment for the lines that expression writes on the face: frown lines between the brows, forehead lines and crow’s feet. A small, precise dose of botulinum toxin relaxes the muscle that folds the skin, so the line softens while the face keeps moving naturally. Nothing else, no cream and no device, does this as predictably.

At the clinic Botox is a doctor’s treatment, planned on your anatomy and your expressions rather than on a chart. Dr. Fehmida uses it beyond wrinkles too: to slim a wide jaw, soften a gummy smile, lift the brow tail and the corners of the mouth, smooth chin dimpling and neck bands, and to treat excessive sweating and migraine.

The appointment takes fifteen minutes, the effect appears over three to seven days and lasts three to four months. Done well, nobody will know. Everyone will notice.

How it works

Relax the muscle, keep the face.

01

Mapping

Dr. Fehmida watches you frown, raise and smile, and marks the exact muscle fibres that fold the skin.

02

A few tiny injections

A fine needle places small doses; it feels like a pinprick. No numbing is needed for most people.

03

The muscle rests

Over three to seven days the treated fibres relax and the line softens. Movement elsewhere is untouched.

Your sessions

From consultation to results.

Day 0Consultation and treatment

Mapping, then injections, in one fifteen-minute visit. Avoid lying down or rubbing the area for four hours.

Day 3 to 7Effect appears

Lines soften progressively; the full effect at two weeks.

Week 2Review

A small top-up if a muscle needs balancing, at no charge.

Month 3 to 4Repeat

Movement returns gradually. Regular treatment trains the muscle and results last longer over time.

Questions patients ask

Botox, answered.

Straight answers from the clinic. If your question is not here, ask on WhatsApp.

Three to four months for most people, sometimes longer with regular treatment as the muscle learns to rest.

A few pinpricks. Most patients rate it as mild and do not need numbing cream.

None. You can return to work immediately. Avoid lying flat, exercise and rubbing the area for four hours, and small red marks fade within the hour.

Minor bruising or a headache on the day occasionally. A heavy brow or eyelid is rare with careful placement and wears off within weeks if it happens.

No. Botox is fully reversible over three to four months, which is also why it needs repeating.

No. Botox is not used in pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Not when it is dosed for your face. The aim is softer lines with natural movement; a frozen forehead is a dosing error, not the treatment.

When the lines bother you. Many patients start in their thirties, when treating dynamic lines prevents them from etching in.

Yes. Relaxing an enlarged masseter muscle softens a square jaw over six to eight weeks and eases grinding and clenching.

Botox treats lines caused by movement. Fillers restore volume and treat folds at rest. Many faces need a little of both, which the consultation will say.

It depends on the areas and the units used. The clinic shares the exact fee at the consultation. Ask on WhatsApp for current pricing.

It depends on the area and the strength of the muscle. Frown lines usually take around twenty units, crow's feet around twelve a side and the forehead ten to twenty. Dr. Fehmida sets the dose at the consultation, never from a menu.
