Botox Longridge: Treatment Based on What Suits You
Botox is commonly used to soften lines created by repeated facial movement, particularly across the forehead, between the eyebrows and around the eyes.
However, the same treatment will not suit every face.
The strength of your facial muscles, the position of your brows and the depth of existing lines can all affect how treatment should be planned. This is why Dr Hennessy assesses your face before deciding whether Botox is appropriate and where it should be placed.
The goal is not to remove every line. For many patients, a softer and more rested appearance is enough.
What Can Botox Help With?
Botox is particularly useful for dynamic lines, which are lines caused by repeated muscle contraction.
Common areas include:
- Forehead lines created by raising the eyebrows
- Frown lines between the brows
- Crow’s feet around the outer corners of the eyes
- Lines that have become more noticeable through repeated facial expression
Some lines may only appear when the face moves, while others remain visible at rest.
If forehead wrinkles are your main concern, Dr Hennessy will assess how the forehead and brow muscles work together before recommending treatment.
A Consultation Without Guesswork
You do not need to decide beforehand how many areas you want treated.
Instead, your appointment begins with a discussion about what you have noticed and what you would like to change.
Dr Hennessy will assess:
- The areas that concern you
- How your face looks at rest
- How the muscles move when you frown, smile or raise your eyebrows
- Whether lines are mainly caused by movement
- Whether Botox is likely to provide the result you want
This gives you a clearer understanding of whether treatment is suitable before you make any decision.
How Botox Works
Botox treatment temporarily reduces activity in selected muscles.
When those muscles contract less strongly, the skin above them is folded less repeatedly. This can soften the appearance of expression lines and create a smoother look.
The treatment does not take effect immediately. Changes develop gradually after the appointment as the targeted muscles begin to respond.
Botox is also temporary, so normal muscle activity returns over time.
Why Placement Matters
Botox is often discussed in terms of areas, but the precise placement of treatment is just as important.
For example, the muscles that create forehead lines also help lift the eyebrows. Treating them without considering brow position can affect the overall expression of the upper face.
This is why Dr Hennessy looks at the relationship between different muscles rather than treating individual wrinkles in isolation.
Small differences in anatomy can change how treatment should be approached, even between patients with similar concerns.
What Happens During Treatment?
If Botox is suitable and you decide to proceed, treatment involves a series of small injections into the selected muscles.
The exact number and position will depend on your treatment plan.
The procedure itself is generally straightforward, and you will be given aftercare guidance before leaving the clinic.
Results develop gradually rather than appearing immediately, and the final effect can vary depending on the area treated and your individual response.
How Much Does Botox Cost?
The cost of Botox depends on the areas being treated and the treatment plan recommended for you.
Rather than assuming every patient needs the same amount of treatment, Dr Hennessy will assess your facial movement first.
You can view the clinic’s current fees before arranging your appointment.
If you are unsure which pricing category applies to your concern, the clinic team can also explain this when you get in touch.
What If Botox Is Not the Best Option?
Not every line is caused by muscle activity.
Some facial changes are more closely related to skin quality, reduced collagen, volume loss or skin laxity. Botox may have limited benefit if one of these is the main cause.
A consultation gives Dr Hennessy the opportunity to identify what is contributing to the concern before recommending treatment.
If another option is likely to be more appropriate, this can be explained rather than using Botox where it is unlikely to give you the result you want.

Botox FAQs

Botox works gradually. You may begin to notice changes in the days after treatment, with the result becoming clearer as the muscles respond.
The number of appointments depends on your treatment plan and whether you choose to repeat Botox once the effect wears off.
Natural facial asymmetry is common, which is one reason treatment is assessed individually. Dr Hennessy will consider differences between each side of the face when planning injections.
Yes. Botox is temporary and there is no requirement to continue treatment. Normal muscle activity gradually returns as the effect wears off.
