Producing a brow lift with toxin is an art. Toxin can only relax muscles so the brow lift is somewhat of a misnomer. A highly skilled practitioner can inject the side of the eye to cause relaxation of the tail of the brows to give the brow a nice shape. Precise placement is required and teaching this procedure is a large part of what we do at the HUB.

Treating the masseter with toxin is an option for face slimming but it will not help with tooth grinding. Unqualified practitioners who treat the jaw might inadvertently be loading the jaw joint in a problematic way and causing permanent degenerative change in the joint. The masseter is a big powerful muscle and generates between 50-70kg a side. If you unbalance this force other muscles will compensate and things will turn nasty very quickly. Before we treat the masseter we will refer you to one of our dentists who look at how the teeth bite.

Toxin around the eyes is one of our favourite treatments. It will erase the fine lines around your eyes which are seriously ageing you without you even realising! This treatment can give your eyes a more youthful appearance and you’ll be amazed at the difference.

Another great area for instant anti ageing results is the forehead. Not only can we remove the lines that appear when you frown (dynamic lines) but the lines that are always there (static lines) will also disappear leaving your forehead looking perfect and your expressions serene and beautiful.

A lip flip can give you fuller, more noticeable lips without the need for fillers. This treatment subtly enhances your natural pout, resulting in a naturally beautiful smile.

Toxin isn’t really useful for under eye bags, dark circles or hollow looking eyes. For this we use a multitude of other treatments to get perfect results. Filler in the tear troughs, good skincare, plenty of sleep and possibly energy treatments will help you in this area. To learn more call us on 0151 236 5166.

If you’re conscious of showing too much gum when you smile, toxin treatment can help. Here at the HUB we are mainly dentists and understand how to treat a gummy smile or ‘high smile line’ better than anybody. By relaxing the muscles that lift the upper lip, you’ll notice a balanced, more attractive smile. No need for extreme or invasive dental work, just a bit of toxin can dramatically improve your smile.

More men than ever are discovering the benefits of anti-wrinkle treatments. Sometimes they call it ‘Brotox’. It’s the same treatment as everybody gets but men usually have bigger muscles and need slightly more product. Many men complain about their treatment because practitioners get the measurements wrong. At the HUB we are experts in facial assessment and treatment dosage for men. See here for more information: Brotox.

Botox can smooth those wrinkles on the sides of your nose, known as bunny lines. The result? A smoother, fresher look every time you smile or laugh. Some people love them and some people hate them but be assured we understand these muscles and can help you make the right decisions.

If you’ve noticed dimpling on your chin, treatment with toxin can help. By relaxing the muscles in this area, we can smooth your chin’s appearance, giving you a sleeker, more defined profile. Just like bunny lines some people love their dimples and some people hate them. But we can show you what is possible in this area with toxin treatments.

Please come to the practice with a clean face and no make up. It’s extremely rare that an individual will not be suitable for treatment. Good skincare is recommended along with daily sunscreen.

Follow these instructions to ensure the best possible results:

1) Avoid Rubbing: Don’t rub or massage the treated areas for at least 24 hours after your treatment. This can prevent the toxin from spreading to other muscles and causing unwanted side effects. Don’t wear anything on your head or face for 24 hours.

2) Avoid Alcohol: Abstain from alcohol for at least 24 hours post-treatment, as it can increase the risk of bruising – and is generally bad for you anyway.

3) No Strenuous Exercise: Refrain from vigorous physical activities for at least 24 hours after treatment. Exercise can increase blood flow and potentially cause the toxin to spread to unintended muscles.

4) Avoid Heat Exposure: Avoid exposure to high heat, such as hot tubs, saunas, or very hot showers for at least 24 hours. Heat can increase the risk of bruising. Use warm water to clean your face.

6) Sun Protection: Protect treated areas from excessive sun and heat exposure until any initial swelling and redness have resolved. You should be wearing loads of sunscreen anyway!

7) Follow-up: Make sure to schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your progress and adjust treatments if needed. We will do this but please turn up for your review appointments!

Remember, it’s normal to experience some minor bruising, redness, or swelling after the procedure. However, if these symptoms persist or if you experience other symptoms like difficulty swallowing, speaking, or breathing, call us immediately day or night on 01512365166.

Full results for most Botox treatments take 14 days to appear. See this video for a full timeline of how long it takes.

Depending on the area between 2 to 4 months. Areas with more active muscles (mouth) will have a shorter effect time. Basically, the more you use it, the quicker you lose it. Don’t obsess over trying to pull faces or frown at yourself in the mirror lots. This will just make it wear off faster.

Common side effects of Botox include bruising, swelling, and temporary muscle weakness. While extremely rare, severe reactions can occur, usually when performed by unskilled injectors.

At Smileworks, Botox is usually priced between £200 and £299 depending on how many areas you get treated, but as a model at the Aesthetic HUB, you will only pay between £100 and £125.

While it’s not possible to definitively answer this question, many of our patients find Botox incredibly worth it for its ability to reduce wrinkles and rejuvenate their appearance.

Although Botox is a great choice for most patients, pregnant/nursing individuals, those with certain neurological disorders, or allergies to Botox ingredients should avoid it.
