Botox® in Norwich

We provide Botox in Norwich. Botox is safely used to cosmetically remove fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily paralysing muscles. Beyond aesthetic applications, Botox is used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including eye squints, migraines and excess sweating. Botox is the product made by a bacterium called botulinum

Botox® Facts

• Botox® can take up to 2 weeks for the full effects. It is temporary and is only in the system for 3 months however the effects of Botox® can last up to 4 or 5 months.
• In some cases, continued use of Botox® has shown shrinkage of the skin of the eyelid, helping to prevent future hooded or droopy eyelids.
• Botox® can be used as a preventative method to slow aging in the face.
• Botox® can help tension headaches and is safe in small doses.

Botox® Aftercare & Recovery

• Avoid touching the area for 4 hours and strenuous exercise for 3 hours.
• Avoid excessive heat exposure e.g. saunas or hot tubs. This can raise your blood pressure and promote bruising.
• Avoid facials with active ingredients for a minimum of 2 weeks.
• Avoid alcohol, primrose and cod liver oil for 24 hours to prevent bruising

Botox® Myths vs. Reality

• ‘Once I start using Botox® I can’t stop’. After you stop the treatment, your muscles will gradually regain normal movement and you will appear the way you did before getting the treatment.
• ‘Botox® is only for women’. All people get lines and wrinkles and therefore can benefit from Botox® injections.
• ‘Botox® is unsafe’. Botox® has been used in the medical industry for well over 40 years. People think it is unsafe because it contains botulinum toxin, which is related to food poisoning. However, with the levels of dilution, the protein injected into your body is harmless and non-toxic.
• ‘Botox® is no longer needed after surgery’. Botox® injections can be beneficial for the muscles after getting surgeries. They can also be used as a maintenance procedure after facial surgery to prolong results.

Botox Treatments for the Neck (Nefertiti Lift)

At our Norwich clinic we also offer Botox neck treatments, including the "Nefertiti lift" inject botulinum toxin into the platysma muscle to relax vertical bands, smooth horizontal lines, and tighten sagging skin for a more youthful, contoured jawline. This non-surgical, 15-45 minute procedure provides results lasting 3-6 months with minimal downtime

• How it Works: Botox is injected into specific neck muscles (platysmal bands) to prevent them from contracting and pulling down on the face, reducing bands and tightening the skin.
• Targeted Issues: It is most effective for reducing vertical neck bands and fine, superficial wrinkles.
• Results & Duration: Results usually appear within 2-14 days and last for about 3-6 months, requiring consistent maintenance.
• Procedure: It is a quick, non-surgical, in-office procedure (15-30 minutes) with minimal to no downtime.
• Limitations: It is less effective for severe skin laxity, significant fat deposits, or deep, static wrinkles that require fillers.
