Botulinum toxin treatment to soften expression lines while preserving natural facial movement. Administered by Dr Shah — a practising GP with advanced aesthetic training.
Botulinum toxin is a medical treatment that produces a temporary relaxation of the muscles that cause certain facial wrinkles. By reducing the movement of these muscles, the skin above them is no longer repeatedly creased, allowing lines to soften.
The effect is temporary and typically lasts around three to four months, after which muscle activity gradually returns to normal.
A series of small injections using a very fine needle are placed into specific facial muscles. The procedure itself usually takes only a few minutes and most people find it very tolerable.
Botulinum toxin works gradually — results develop over the first two weeks rather than appearing immediately after treatment.
One of the most established aesthetic treatments available — effective, predictable, and reversible by nature.
Targets the small facial muscles responsible for the repeated creasing of skin that leads to visible lines over time.
Treatment is adjusted to maintain natural expression rather than creating an overdone or frozen appearance.
The procedure usually takes only a few minutes and most people return to normal activities immediately afterwards.
A common concern about botulinum toxin treatment is the fear of looking frozen or losing natural facial expression. This is a legitimate concern — and one that depends entirely on how treatment is planned and delivered.
Treatment planning here focuses on softening lines while preserving the natural movement that gives the face character and expression. Dosing and placement are adjusted according to muscle strength, existing line pattern, and the level of correction preferred.
Some people prefer a very smooth result, while others prefer subtle softening that maintains visible movement. The aim is always a refreshed appearance that still looks like you.
Your concerns, medical history, and facial movement are reviewed before any treatment plan is discussed.
If treatment is appropriate, the areas and dosing approach are explained and agreed with you.
Small injections using a fine needle are placed into targeted facial muscles. Takes only a few minutes.
Most people return to normal daily activities immediately. Results develop gradually over 10–14 days.
Botulinum toxin treatment is not suitable for everyone and is only considered after appropriate consultation and clinical assessment. Your concerns, treatment goals, medical history, and the pattern of muscle movement are all reviewed carefully before any treatment is planned.
Priced per upper facial area. Treatment is always planned at consultation — the right number of areas depends on your concerns and anatomy, not a fixed package.
Precise treatment of a single upper facial area — forehead, frown, or crow's feet — for subtle, targeted softening.
Balanced treatment across two upper face areas for more harmonious softening. Most commonly forehead + frown.
Comprehensive upper-face treatment targeting forehead, frown lines, and crow's feet for full upper-face refinement.
