Botox Formby Treatments
Botox is commonly used to soften lines that develop through repeated facial movement.
Every time we smile, frown, squint or raise our eyebrows, the muscles beneath the skin contract. Over time, this repeated movement can cause certain lines to become more noticeable, particularly across the forehead, between the eyebrows and around the eyes.
Botox works by temporarily relaxing selected muscles. This reduces the movement contributing to those lines and can leave the skin looking smoother and more rested.
Treatment is always planned individually. Some patients want to soften one particular area, while others may benefit from treating a combination of areas to create a balanced result.
Keeping Your Results Natural
One of the most common concerns people have before Botox is whether they will still look like themselves afterwards.
The aim should not be to remove every line or stop all facial movement. A good result should simply make the areas you are unhappy with look softer while keeping your expressions natural.
Dr Hennessy assesses how your face moves before treatment, paying attention to factors such as brow position, muscle strength and facial symmetry. This helps determine where Botox should be placed and how much is appropriate.
The treatment is then adjusted to suit you rather than following the same pattern for every patient.
Common Areas Treated With Botox
Botox is most commonly used to soften expression lines across the upper face. Depending on your facial movement and concerns, treatment may be suitable for:
- Forehead lines caused by repeatedly raising the eyebrows
- Frown lines between the eyebrows, which can become more noticeable over time
- Crow’s feet around the outer corners of the eyes when smiling or squinting
These areas can be treated individually or together where appropriate. Dr Hennessy will assess how the different muscles interact before recommending treatment.
For some patients, carefully placed injections around the brow and eye area may also form part of a non-surgical eye lift.
Other Uses for Botox
Botox can also be used for concerns that are not directly related to forehead lines or wrinkles around the eyes.
One example is gummy smile Botox. This may be suitable for patients whose upper lip lifts higher than they would like when smiling, exposing more of the gum.
Because Botox affects muscle movement, these treatments need to be planned carefully. Small differences in where the product is placed can influence facial expression, which is why proper assessment is important.
Dr Hennessy will explain whether Botox is suitable for your particular concern during your consultation.
What Happens at Your Consultation?
Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss what has been bothering you and find out whether Botox is appropriate.
Dr Hennessy will:
- Discuss the areas you would like to improve
- Review your relevant medical history
- Assess your face at rest and during expression
- Look at factors such as muscle strength and brow position
- Explain which areas may be suitable for treatment
- Discuss the type of result you can realistically expect
- Answer any questions before you decide whether to proceed
There is no one treatment pattern that suits everybody. The consultation allows Dr Hennessy to plan treatment around your individual facial movement and anatomy.
What to Expect After Treatment
Botox is given through a small number of injections into the muscles being treated.
The procedure itself is usually straightforward, and you will be given aftercare advice before leaving the clinic.
Results develop gradually rather than immediately. You may begin to notice a difference over the following days as the muscles start to relax.
The effects are temporary and will gradually wear off as normal muscle movement returns. How long this takes varies from person to person.
Is Botox Right for Every Type of Line?
No. Botox is most effective for lines caused by repeated muscle movement.
Some facial changes are instead caused by reduced skin quality, loss of volume or skin laxity. In these situations, Botox may not be the most suitable treatment, or another option may be more appropriate.
Dr Hennessy will assess the cause of the concern before recommending treatment.
