The results of Botulinum toxin start appearing only a few hours after treatment, with the full effect setting in at around the 14 days mark. These results last around four to six months.
Depending on where you have the Botulinum toxin injected, which clinic you attend and how much is used, the prices can vary dramatically.
As a rule of thumb, you should not automatically choose the cheapest clinic – a low price shouldn’t be the deciding factor when considering where to go. Your decision should be based on finding a qualified practitioner with adequate medical experience.

After diagnosing the condition, your medical practitioner will determine the type, number and position of Thread placement that will be required to achieve the desired results and local anaesthetic will be administered to the skin. The PDO thread is then placed in the skin using a disposable cannula or micro-needle, which should be completely painless.
Treatment time varies depending on the condition being treated but generally is between 30-60 minutes, after which you will be able to resume your everyday activities. If the “lifting” threads are used then results will be apparent immediately after the procedure. With all thread types however, collagen production takes time and results will continue to improve over the following 2-3 months, lasting up to 2 years depending on the nature of the treatment provided. The thread itself will dissolve completely after about 6 months.
Immediately after treatment, the area will still be numb for several hours and you should not eat, drink or manipulate the treatment area until you regain sensation. The treatment area may be red, swollen and bleed briefly (which will be controlled by your Doctor), resulting in some bruising. Do not schedule any major events on the day of, or for two weeks following treatment, to allow for any bruising or swelling to subside.
After the anaesthetic wears off there may be some transient pain and discomfort, especially a tight pulling feeling if you have had a lifting procedure. These feelings usually ease within a week and can be controlled with medication, though you should follow a soft diet and limit the degree of mouth opening until feelings of discomfort have passed.
A full list of post-treatment care instructions will be provided by your medical practitioner in order to minimise potential side effects and maximise results in your individual case.
You should schedule a review appointment with your medical practitioner two weeks after receiving treatment, at which time further treatment (either more threads or alternative therapies) maybe required to achieve the desired outco
Thankfully, PDO threads have been shown to be very reliable and safe, yet all medical and dental procedures have the potential to cause unwanted side effects/complications and you should discuss these with your medical practitioner.
While problems are rare, the most common issues come from the injection process rather than the threads and can include redness, swelling, itching, bruising, bleeding and skin infection.
The thread may damage or affect the function of muscles, nerves and other structures or the threads may move out of position. These events could result in various aesthetic and functional defects, as well as pain, that would require further medical intervention.
While exceptionally rare, life-threatening allergic reactions are possible.
Rest assured that your medical practitioner will conduct a thorough review of your health and medical history prior to delivering treatment to ensure that you are safe to receive this therapy and unlikely to encounter problems. Pregnant or breast-feeding women should not undergo these procedures.
Botox is actually a trade name for Botulinum toxin, a neurotoxic protein that temporarily paralyses muscles when injected. When Botulinum toxin is injected into a muscle underneath the skin surface, it relaxes the muscle and causes a smoothening of the overlaying skin, making it a popular anti-wrinkle treatment in the cosmetics industry.
Alongside its strong association with the cosmetics business, Botulinum Toxin has many other uses within modern medicine.
Botulinum Toxin is approved for the treatment of Bruxism (teeth grinding) by relaxing the jaw muscles, and excessive sweating, known as hyperhydrosis, by blocking the nerves that control the sweat glands and many, many more medical conditions. Recenetly, Botulinum Toxin was also approved to treat chronic migraines, too.
But by far the most common use is as a non-surgical cosmetic treatment, to smooth wrinkles as well as prevent new ones from forming, known as preventative Botox.
“The aim is to subtly lift key points using small amounts of Botulinum Toxin to create a fresher appearance,” says aesthetic doctor. “All the muscles and structures of the face are linked, so you have to consider how they move together in order to create a natural look.”
As well as wrinkles, doctor note that Botulinum Toxin has further cosmetic abilities that you may not be aware of. “Botulinum Toxin can be used to raise the eyebrow, the lip and the tip of the nose. It is also used for the treatment of a gummy smile and to slim the jawline by treating masseter hypertrophy [a condition where the jawline muscles are enlarged].”
While Botox has been deemed safe to treat all of the above conditions, no medical or aesthetic procedure is without risks.
“Some are purely due to the needle such as bleeding, bruising and infection,” explains doctor.
Other risks involve undesired effects on the surrounding muscles, for example, a droopy eyelid when Botox is injected into the forehead. While these results would be disappointing, they wouldn’t be permanent, as Botox is a non-permanent treatment.
