What is Botox?
Botox is the world’s most famous brand of Botulinum toxin injections used to relax facial muscles and smoothen lines and wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and forehead lines. It is also used as a medical and therapeutic treatment for several conditions, especially those related to the neuromuscular system. Its wrinkle-smoothing ability was first discovered by accident in the 1970s by ophthalmologist Dr. Alan B. In 2002, Botox became the first pharmaceutical drug that was given the green light for a strictly cosmetic purpose as the FDA approved it as a temporary cosmetic treatment for moderate to severe frown lines in adults.
What are Botox injections made out of?
Botox contains the type A neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is derived from a culture of the Hall strain of C. botulinum, which is purified with a series of acid precipitations to form a crystalline complex that contains the toxin and other proteins. Different brands of the Botulinum toxin (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau) use different strains of the bacterium, preparation methods, diffusion, and potency testing.
How does it work?
As we smile, frown, squint, and express emotions, our facial muscles contract to form lines and creases. These multiply and get deeper as we get older. Botox works by temporarily immobilizing muscle activity by disrupting nerve-muscle communication, which limits muscle flex. With limited muscle movement, creases and wrinkles are prevented from etching into the skin. Intramuscular administration of botulinum toxin interferes with neural transmission by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, the principal neurotransmitter at the neuromuscular junction.
Botox works well for wrinkles formed when animating the face, but it can also soften some deeper lines present when muscles are at rest. Multiple Botox treatments are able to improve wrinkles over time, but lines need regular treatment.

Benefits of Botox
Botox targets horizontal forehead lines, squint lines (crow’s feet), scowl lines (glabella), bunny lines, and smoker’s lines. Using specialised techniques, it can lift the eyebrow arch, raise a down-turned smile, fix a gummy smile, correct a dimpling chin, elongate the face, sharpen the jawline, minimise neck bands, and control excessive sweating under the arms. It is also used to prevent teeth clenching.
Botox prevents lines and wrinkles from forming to give a smoother and firmer skin, while dermal fillers plump up lines and wrinkles to reduce creases and sagginess.
Are Botox injections safe?
As long as Botox treatments are administered by trained and qualified professionals in a soundly-established clinical setting, they are completely safe and devoid of serious side effects. Precise doses in relation to muscle mass and individual conditions are given after a review of medical history. If you have allergies, it is important to inform your practitioner about these so they can decide whether there’s a possibility of adverse reaction to the ingredients. There are alternative treatments for patients Botox is not safe for.
Talk to your facial aesthetician if you have had recent eye surgery or have conditions like glaucoma, heart disease, diabetes, seizures, asthma, and had treatment using botulinum toxin product in the last 4 months. You should avoid getting Botox if you have a neuromuscular condition, drooping eyelids (ptosis), weak facial muscles, or skin infection. Botox is not recommended when you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Are there any side effects experienced?
Botox-related side effects are transient and benign events. They are well-localised, reversible, and self-limited complications. You may experience benign side effects that usually disappear without any treatment. These include;
- Bruising, redness, swelling, pain, or numbness in the treated area
- Headache
- Flu-like symptoms
- Double vision
- Neck Pain
- Dry eyes
- Irritation
- Upset stomach
- Weakness in nearby muscles
- Drooping eyelids
If side effects continue to persist, you should consult your Botox provider.
Importance of seeking treatment with an experienced practitioner
Botox can potentially cause serious adverse effects if administered incorrectly. It must be used only under an experienced prescribing practitioner’s care. Injections must be placed precisely and in safe quantities.
Reasons to book your Botox treatment at Mouth Dental
All our cosmetic treatments are offered in safe, sterile, and well-equipped spaces by certified and trained professionals. We use the most updated formulas of Botox brands, and the reconstitution and dilution are carried out per medical recommendation. Certain aesthetic treatments that use hyaluronic acid, such as fillers, are safe to use alongside Botox treatments. During the consultation, we help you decide the best way for you to achieve full facial rejuvenation if you are also planning to get dermal fillers.
We also examine your medical history and any medical conditions you may have to better understand the risk of adverse events. Your health & well-being is our priority.
How long do the results last?
Results generally last 3-4 months, but for some, they might last longer, even 6 months. Results do not last longer than the average period when you get Botox the first time. However, after the second or third treatments, results tend to last longer than the first time. While some results begin to show in 3 or 4 days, the maximum effect can take 2-3 weeks.
How much does Botox treatment cost?
The cost depends on the areas under treatment. At Mouth Dental, 1 area starts from £215, 2 areas from £285, and 3 areas from £315 onwards.
With the flexibility of payments, you can spread the cost for more expensive or long-term treatments. You can ‘pay as you go’ for each treatment you receive on the day of the appointment during the treatment period rather than in one payment. 0% interest-free finance over 12 months and 9.9 % interest for up to five years are available from Chrysalis Finance.

Frequently asked questions
Is getting Botox safe?
Yes, it is a clinically-tested product for cosmetic and medical use. However, due to its potency only a trained professional must administer it in a clinical setting.
Does the procedure hurt?
It is virtually painless. We use ultra-fine needles, numbing cream, and cold compress to minimise the pinch sensation.
How long do I have to wait till the results take effect?
The results begin to show in 3-4 days. However, it could take up to 7 days for first-time users. Complete results will last for 4-6 months. The procedure only takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the areas targeted.
How often should I get Botox?
Usually, every 4 months if you want to keep up your age-defying facial rejuvenation. However, different skins react differently and could be more or less frequently.
Can I get other cosmetic treatments simultaneously with Botox?
Yes, as long as the ingredients have no risk of adverse cross-reaction. Your skin aesthetician can help you decide which treatments can be used at the same time.
Is there any aftercare?
Botox treatments are minimally invasive and require little to no down time afterward. You must avoid applying pressure to the injection area for 24 hours to ensure that the drug doesn’t migrate elsewhere.
Does the NHS offer Botox treatment?
Not for cosmetic purposes. Botox is used for therapeutic uses, but the NHS may not offer it for facial aesthetic enhancement.
