Botulinum toxin injections relax specific facial muscles, which softens the appearance of expression lines such as forehead lines, frown lines and lines around the eyes. Treatment is medical and should only be performed by a qualified doctor.
When a consultation may help
- Expression lines are visible at rest and bother you.
- You prefer a subtle, natural-looking softening of lines.
What happens at your consultation
Dr Mitali assesses your facial movement, discusses your goals and medical history, and explains whether treatment is suitable, the likely effect and possible side effects before anything is done.
Approaches offered at the clinic
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines between the brows
- Lines around the eyes
Which of these is appropriate — if any — is decided with you after assessment.
