Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Botox® Treatments at Eva Aesthetica Clinic

Looking to smooth fine lines, refresh your appearance, or treat excessive sweating? Botox® is one of the most effective and widely used non-surgical treatments in aesthetic medicine. At [Your Clinic Name], we offer expert Botox treatments tailored to your facial anatomy and personal goals for natural-looking, confident results.

 

What Is Botox?

Botox® is the brand name for botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein derived from the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It has been safely used in both medical and cosmetic treatments for decades.

Originally developed in the 1970s to treat muscle conditions like eye spasms, Botox became popular in aesthetic medicine in the 1990s and remains the gold standard for treating dynamic wrinkles caused by facial movements such as frowning, squinting, or smiling.

 

How Does Botox Work?

Botox works by temporarily relaxing specific muscles, blocking the signals that cause them to contract. When the muscles relax, the overlying skin appears smoother, softening lines and preventing them from deepening over time.

This makes it particularly effective for treating:

  • Frown lines (between the eyebrows)

  • Forehead lines

  • Crow’s feet (around the eyes)

It’s also used to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), particularly under the arms or on the palms.

 

When Will I See Results?

  • Initial effects: Within 24–72 hours

  • Full results: 1 to 2 weeks after treatment

  • Duration: Typically 3 to 4 months (up to 9–12 months for sweating)

Top-up treatments are recommended once the effects begin to wear off to maintain your results.

 

What Botox Can and Can’t Do

Botox is highly effective for expression lines caused by repeated facial movement. However, it is not suitable for:

  • Deep lines caused by sun damage

  • Sagging skin due to age or gravity
    These may require alternative treatments such as dermal fillers or skin tightening.

If you’re unsure which treatment is right for you, we’re here to guide you.

 

 What to Expect During Your Treatment

Botox is a quick, non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime:

  • We use a fine needle to inject small amounts of Botox directly into the target muscles

  • Multiple injection points may be required, depending on the area

  • The treatment takes around 10–15 minutes

  • No anaesthetic is required, and normal activities can be resumed immediately

  • You may experience mild redness, swelling or bruising at the injection sites — this typically fades quickly

 

Limitations and Safety

Botox is very safe when administered by a qualified medical professional. However, it does have some limitations:

  • Results are temporary and require maintenance

  • Very deep or long-standing lines may need repeated treatments for optimal effect

  • In rare cases, patients may develop resistance to Botox if overused

Side effects are rare, but can include:

  • Mild bruising or discomfort

  • Temporary drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow (seen in about 1 in 100 patients)

  • Headache or flu-like symptoms (uncommon)

All side effects are typically temporary and self-limiting.

 

Who Should Avoid Botox?

Botox is not suitable for:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women

  • Individuals with neuromuscular conditions (e.g. myasthenia gravis)

  • Those taking certain antibiotics or muscle relaxants

  • Anyone with a skin infection at the injection site

  • People with bleeding disorders

During your consultation, we’ll assess your medical history to ensure treatment is safe for you.
