Botox (Botulinum Toxin Type A) is the gold standard for non-surgical facial rejuvenation, effectively smoothing dynamic wrinkles and preventing new lines from forming. At Smile London, our dentally-trained practitioners combine anatomical expertise with artistic precision to deliver natural-looking results that enhance rather than alter your appearance.
Our approach focuses on conservative, strategic placement to maintain facial expression while reducing wrinkles. Common treatment areas include forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the brows. As dental professionals, we also specialise in therapeutic applications including treatment for bruxism (teeth grinding), TMJ disorders, and gummy smile correction.
Results typically appear within 3-5 days, reaching full effect at 14 days, and lasting 3-4 months. Our precise injection technique minimises discomfort and bruising, with most appointments completed in just 15-20 minutes. With regular treatments, many patients find they need less product over time as muscles naturally relax.
Our practitioners hold advanced certification in facial aesthetics with specialized dental anatomy training. Having administered over 5,000 Botox treatments, we understand facial muscle dynamics intimately. Our dental background provides superior knowledge of facial nerves and injection safety, particularly important for complex areas around the mouth and jaw.
We exclusively use authentic Allergan Botox, stored and reconstituted following strict pharmaceutical protocols. Our precise injection technique uses ultra-fine 32-gauge needles for comfort. Digital facial analysis helps plan treatment for symmetry and natural results. All treatments follow JCCP guidelines for medical aesthetics.
Your treatment includes comprehensive consultation, facial analysis, and 2-week follow-up with complimentary touch-ups if needed. We provide 24/7 aftercare support and maintain detailed treatment records to optimize future sessions. Our membership program offers preferential booking and pricing for regular treatments.
Botox temporarily blocks nerve signals to specific muscles, preventing them from contracting fully. This relaxes the overlying skin, smoothing existing wrinkles and preventing new ones from forming. The treatment is completely reversible – as the product naturally metabolises over 3-4 months, muscle movement gradually returns.
Botox has an excellent safety profile with over 20 years of cosmetic use. Temporary side effects may include mild bruising, slight headache, or temporary eyelid drooping (rare, <1%). We use authentic Allergan Botox, never cheaper alternatives, and our medical training ensures safe, precise administration following strict protocols.
Results typically last 3-4 months, though first-time patients may see shorter duration (2-3 months) as muscles adapt. Longevity varies based on metabolism, muscle strength, and treatment area. Regular treatments can extend duration, with some established patients achieving 4-6 months between appointments.
While the product is identical, placement and dosing differ significantly. Cosmetic treatments target superficial facial muscles for wrinkle reduction. Therapeutic treatments for bruxism or TMJ involve deeper masseter and temporalis muscles, requiring higher doses but providing relief from jaw pain, headaches, and tooth damage.
Pricing is per unit or by area treated. Typical requirements: forehead (10-20 units), crow’s feet (12-24 units), frown lines (20-30 units). Women generally need fewer units than men. We provide exact pricing during consultation based on your muscle strength and desired outcome. Therapeutic treatments for grinding typically require 40-60 units.
