Do you experience slight movement with your Botox® ? You may have heard me talking about a fairly new approach to neurotoxin treatments, commonly referred to as ‘Baby Botox’ – the micro injections of Botox® and other neurotoxins which are specifically targeted around the face to create a very soft, natural result. Yes, you do need a top up a little sooner, and you will notice that you experience less movement, in alignment with this graph. From around 2 – 8 weeks post-treatment, the product is most effective. Keep a note of how you track against it next time you have a treatment and keep in mind that some movement is a more natural result. Your first treatment I tend to go gently, so we can see how you metabolise the product – how long you will see the effect over time.

Botox® is a prescription medicine for the treatment of frown lines, horizontal forehead lines and crow’s feet round the eyes. Botox® has risks and benefits. Ask your doctor if Botox® is right for you.  If you have side effects, see your doctor.  You will need to pay for Botox® and clinic fees will apply. For details on precautions & side effects consult your healthcare professional or the Consumer Medicine Information (CMI) at www.medsafe.govt.nz . Botox® treatment lasts about 4 months and further courses of treatment may be necessary. Should only be administered by trained medical professionals (contains botulinum toxin A 50,100 & 200 units).
