The ultimate guide to Botox: Everything you need to know about anti-wrinkle injections

When it comes to reducing fine lines and achieving smoother, more youthful-looking skin, Botox (Botulinum Toxin) remains one of the most popular and effective treatments in medical aesthetics. At Invicta Aesthetics, we specialise in safe, natural-looking anti-wrinkle results that help you feel confident in your own skin.

In this blog, we’ll cover what Botox is, how it works, what to expect from treatment, and why choosing a qualified medical professional is so important.

What Is Botox (Botulinum Toxin)?

Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medicine that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for facial movement. By gently reducing muscle contractions, Botox helps to soften lines and wrinkles, particularly those caused by repetitive facial expressions such as frowning, smiling, or raising the eyebrows.

Common treatment areas include:

• Forehead lines

• Frown lines (between the brows)

• Crow’s feet (around the eyes)

• Bunny lines (on the nose)

• Chin dimpling

• Gummy smile

• Jawline slimming and teeth grinding (masseter Botox)

How Does Botox Work?

When injected precisely into targeted muscles, Botox blocks the nerve signals that cause movement. This prevents the overuse of certain facial muscles, allowing the skin above them to appear smoother and more refreshed.

The treatment doesn’t “freeze” your face — at Invicta Aesthetics, we focus on subtle, natural enhancements that maintain your facial expressions while giving you a rejuvenated look.

What to Expect from Your Botox Treatment

1. Consultation: Every treatment begins with a thorough medical consultation to discuss your goals, assess your facial anatomy, and ensure the procedure is safe for you.

2. Treatment: The injections take just a few minutes and involve minimal discomfort.

3. Aftercare: You may experience mild redness or swelling, which settles within a few hours.

4. Results: You’ll start to notice results within 3–5 days, with full effects visible at around 2 weeks. The results typically last between 3–4 months, depending on your individual metabolism and treatment area.
