Overview
Smooth lines and prevent new ones, with a treatment trusted worldwide
Botulinum toxin (commonly known by the brand name Botox) is the most popular non-surgical aesthetic treatment in the world. When injected in small, precise doses by a qualified medical professional, it temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic facial lines, smoothing the skin above them and preventing those lines from deepening over time.
At Maison Restorative, botulinum toxin is a prescribed medication, available only following a medical consultation. It is administered by our experienced cosmetic doctors and nurse prescribers who tailor the dose and placement to your anatomy and the result you are looking for. The goal is always a natural, refreshed appearance, not a frozen one.
As well as treating facial lines and wrinkles, botulinum toxin has well-established uses in treating hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and other medical conditions, and our team can advise on all appropriate applications.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What areas can be treated with botulinum toxin?
The most common areas are forehead lines, frown lines between the brows and crow's feet around the eyes. It can also be used for a brow lift effect, to soften a gummy smile, to slim the jaw muscles (masseter reduction) and to treat excessive sweating.
Will I look frozen or unnatural?
Not with careful, skilled placement. Our practitioners aim for a refreshed, natural result that preserves expression. The dose and location of injections are tailored to your anatomy.
When will I see results?
The effect usually appears within three to seven days and reaches its full result at around two weeks, which is when a review appointment is offered.
How long does it last?
Results typically last three to four months. With regular treatments, some patients find the effects last a little longer over time as the muscles soften.
Is botulinum toxin safe?
Yes, when prescribed and administered by a qualified medical professional in appropriate doses. It has an excellent safety record across decades of medical and aesthetic use. Your clinician will discuss any contraindications at consultation.
Can anti-wrinkle injections get rid of forehead lines and frown lines?
Yes. Anti-wrinkle injections relax the muscles that create dynamic forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet, so the skin above them smooths and the lines are prevented from deepening. Lines that are etched in at rest may also need skincare or dermal filler, which your clinician will discuss at consultation.
How much do anti-wrinkle injections cost?
Pricing depends on the number of areas treated and is confirmed in writing at your consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
