What is Botox (and what does it treat)?
Botox (botulinum toxin type A) is a prescription medicine used in tiny doses to relax specific facial muscles. It is most effective for softening dynamic lines—the lines created by repeated facial expressions.
The aim is not to “freeze” your face. A well-planned treatment softens lines while maintaining natural movement and facial balance.
Common areas treated with Botox
Frown lines (between the brows)
Forehead lines
Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
Depending on your goals and suitability, Botox can also be used for concerns such as a subtle brow lift, chin dimpling, downturned mouth corners, jaw clenching/slimming (masseter) and excessive sweating. We’ll talk through options honestly during your consultation.

Your Botox consultation (what to expect)
Your appointment begins with a thorough consultation so we can understand what’s bothering you and what kind of outcome you want.
We’ll discuss:
* Your areas of concern and treatment goals
* Your facial anatomy and muscle movement pattern
* Medical history, suitability and any risk factors
* Expected results, timelines and aftercare
* Alternative options if Botox isn’t the best fit for your concern
Where appropriate, treatment can often be carried out on the same day. If you prefer to think about it, there is never pressure to proceed
How long does Botox take to work and how long does it last?
Most people notice changes within 3–7 days, with full results usually visible at around 2 weeks.
* Onset: 3–7 days
* Peak result: around 14 days
* Typical longevity: around 3–4 months (varies by individual)
Duration depends on factors such as muscle strength, dosing, metabolism, stress, sleep, and lifestyle (including high levels of intense exercise).
Will I look frozen?
Not if your treatment is planned properly. We focus on results that look softened, natural and proportionate, so you still look like yourself, just more rested.
If you prefer a very subtle result, we can keep dosing conservative. If you want a stronger effect, we’ll discuss what is realistic and safe for your face.
Is Botox safe?
Botulinum toxin has been used in medicine for decades and is generally well tolerated when prescribed and administered appropriately. Like any medical treatment, it carries potential side effects and risks which will be explained as part of your consultation and consent.Who is not suitable for Botox?
Botox isn’t recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It may also be unsuitable if you have certain neuromuscular conditions, or an active infection at the proposed injection sites, or relevant medication interactions. This is why a proper medical history matters.
Botox aftercare: what to avoid
Aftercare can vary slightly depending on the areas treated, but you are typically advised to:
* Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for 24–48 hours
* Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy sweating for 24 hours
* Avoid facials and facial massage for around 2 weeks
* Follow your practitioner’s tailored advice if you’ve had treatment in delicate areas
Botox vs fillers vs skin treatments: what do you actually need?
A lot of patients searching for Botox in Bowdon are really looking for an overall “refreshed” look—so it helps to understand what each option does:
*Botox: softens expression lines caused by movement
*Dermal fillers: restore or enhance structure and volume (when appropriate)
*Skin boosters & polynucleotides: improve hydration, texture and skin quality
*Microneedling: supports collagen, refines texture and improves overall skin clarity
In many cases, the best results come from a joined-up plan, so your treatment and skincare work together rather than irritating the skin or masking the real issue.
