Upper Face Botox is a highly popular non-surgical aesthetic treatment that utilizes a purified protein called Botulinum Toxin Type A. It is precisely injected to temporarily relax specific facial muscles in the upper third of the face, effectively reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles such as forehead lines, frown lines (the "11s" between eyebrows), crow's feet, and bunny lines on the nose.

Botox works as a neuromodulator. When injected into the targeted muscles, it temporarily blocks the nerve signals that tell those muscles to contract. By relaxing these overactive muscles, the skin above them smooths out, leading to a significant reduction in the appearance of existing wrinkles and helping to prevent new ones from forming. The effects are temporary and gradually wear off over time.

You will typically begin to see the effects of your Upper Face Botox treatment within 3 to 5 days, with the full, optimal results becoming apparent around 10 to 14 days post-treatment. The smoothing effects generally last for approximately 3 to 5 months. The exact duration can vary based on individual metabolism, lifestyle factors, and the initial strength of the muscles treated.

Upper Face Botox specifically targets primary areas to rejuvenate the upper face, including:

1. Forehead Lines: The horizontal lines that appear when you raise your eyebrows.
2. Glabellar Lines (Frown Lines / "11s"): The vertical lines that form between your eyebrows when you frown or concentrate.
3. Crow's Feet: The fine lines at the outer corners of your eyes that become noticeable when you smile or squint.
4. Bunny Lines: The fine lines that appear on the sides of the nose when you scrunch it up.

For optimal, natural-looking results and to prevent potential complications such as a heavy or drooping brow, treatment for forehead lines can be combined with injections to the frown lines (glabellar area). Treating the forehead in isolation can create an imbalance, as the frown muscles may then pull the brow downwards unopposed. Our practitioners prioritise your safety and natural aesthetic.

Any side effects from Upper Face Botox are typically mild and temporary. These may include slight redness, swelling, or minor bruising at the injection sites, which usually resolve within a few hours to a few days. More rare side effects will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation, and our experienced practitioners take every precaution to minimize risks.
