Results last from three to six months depending on the patient. Visible results can be seen in as little as a few days, with the full effects developing in approximately two weeks.

Botox® treatments are suitable for men and women who want to achieve fresher, healthier-looking skin. The best results are achieved by injecting areas of facial lines particularly the frown, forehead and side of the eyes.

The treatment doesn’t prevent facial expressions but helps patients to look less tired, less stressed and ultimately younger. Treatment should be stopped while patients are pregnant or breastfeeding.

The simple answer is NO, just a slight pin-prick as the needle goes in. A numbing cream is applied to the skin first to ensure the treatment is as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

Side effects – if the injections are properly administered – are extremely rare. Our patients occasionally report a small bruise at the injection site that normally fades after a few days. Headaches for the first 24 hours can also occur in 5-10% of patients, which can be treated with paracetamol.

Your complimentary consultation at Holly Dental Practice, Preston is an opportunity to fully discuss every aspect of your treatment with Jackie Adjetey who will be carrying out the treatment.

Questions are always encouraged and we are only happy to carry out any facial treatments once patients are fully educated about all the options.
