Precisely placed neuromodulators to soften dynamic lines and restore a rested, refreshed appearance — while preserving every natural expression.
Botox — and its equivalents such as Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau — are FDA-approved neuromodulators made from purified botulinum toxin type A. When injected in precise, therapeutic doses, they temporarily relax the facial muscles responsible for repetitive movements that cause expression lines.
At Aurelia Aesthetics, wrinkle relaxers are one of our most requested treatments. Our board-certified physicians approach every injection with a sculptor's eye: softening lines without freezing expression, creating results that look thoroughly you — only rested and refreshed.
Unlike surgical procedures, there is no anaesthesia, no incisions, and no significant recovery period. Most patients return to their daily schedule immediately.
Botox can address a wide range of dynamic lines — wrinkles formed by repeated muscle movement — across the upper and lower face, as well as certain medical and cosmetic concerns beyond wrinkle relaxation.
Horizontal lines that form when raising the eyebrows. Treated conservatively to preserve natural movement.
Vertical creases between the brows caused by squinting or frowning — one of our most commonly treated areas.
Fan-shaped lines at the outer corners of the eyes. Softened to restore a brighter, more open eye area.
Fine lines on the sides of the nose that appear when scrunching. Often treated alongside forehead or frown line work.
Masseter injections to relax the chewing muscle, creating a slimmer, more oval facial profile.
Strategic placement to create a subtle lift at the outer brow, opening the eye and softening the upper face.
Perioral lines and lip flip treatments to subtly evert the upper lip and smooth vertical lip lines.
Relaxes the mentalis muscle to smooth an orange-peel or pebbly chin texture.
Nefertiti lift technique to soften prominent platysmal neck bands and improve jawline definition.
Botulinum toxin works at the neuromuscular junction — the connection point between a nerve and the muscle it controls. When injected, it prevents the nerve from releasing acetylcholine, the chemical messenger that triggers muscle contraction. Without that signal, the targeted muscle relaxes, and the overlying skin smooths.
The effect is temporary because the body gradually forms new nerve terminals and acetylcholine transmission is restored. This is why treatments are typically repeated every 3–4 months. With consistent treatment, many patients find their muscles weaken over time, meaning the same result can be achieved with less product.
Your physician maps your facial dynamics at rest and in movement. A bespoke injection plan is created for your anatomy and goals.
The treatment area is cleansed. A topical numbing cream may be applied, though most patients find it unnecessary.
Ultra-fine needles deliver precise doses to specific points. Most areas take 2–5 minutes. Total treatment time is 10–20 minutes.
You leave the clinic immediately. Minor redness or pinpoint swelling may be present for 30–60 minutes.
Botox does not work instantly — results unfold gradually as the muscles respond to treatment. Here is what you can expect:
You may notice minor redness or tiny bumps at injection sites. These resolve within an hour. No visible change in the treated muscles yet.
The first signs of muscle relaxation become visible. You will begin to notice reduced movement in the treated areas when making expressions.
Results are fully settled. This is the optimal time for a follow-up review. Any minor adjustments can be made at this visit if needed.
Muscle movement begins to return. Most patients book their next appointment before the effect fully wears off to maintain continuity of results.
Following these guidelines will maximise the safety and effectiveness of your treatment.
Botox has an excellent safety record when administered by qualified physicians. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential side effects and contraindications that we discuss with you during consultation.
Yes — our goal is always natural-looking results. At Aurelia, we use conservative doses targeted to specific muscles, leaving surrounding muscles unaffected. You will still be able to smile, raise your eyebrows, and express yourself normally. The lines simply will not deepen when you do.
Most patients describe Botox injections as a very brief, mild sting — comparable to a tiny pinch. The needles used are ultra-fine, and the injections are quick. Topical numbing cream is available on request, though the majority of our patients do not feel they need it.
You will start to notice the effect within 3–5 days, with full results visible at around the 2-week mark. Duration varies by individual, but most patients enjoy results lasting 3–4 months. With regular treatment, some patients find their results last slightly longer over time as the muscles adapt.
If you choose to stop, your face will simply return to its pre-treatment state as the effect wears off — it does not accelerate ageing or cause your skin to look worse. Some patients find that years of Botox have softened lines even between treatments, as the muscles have been less active.
Absolutely. Botox is frequently combined with dermal fillers in a "liquid facelift" approach — Botox relaxes dynamic lines while fillers restore volume and contour. It can also be combined with skin booster treatments and laser procedures. Our physicians will recommend any combination that suits your goals during consultation.
