Botox Newcastle

What exactly is Botox?

Botox® is a brand of botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein that has been used safely in medicine for several decades. In aesthetics, very small, controlled doses are injected into specific facial muscles to temporarily relax them. This softens the appearance of lines caused by repeated movement, such as frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet.

BOTOX is the #1 selling treatment of its kind*:

• Botox is FDA-approved to improve the appearance of frowns and forehead lines. It will also improve crow’s feet and other facial wrinkles.
• It’s a quick 10-minute treatment with minimal downtime
• You may begin to notice the results within 24 to 48 hours
• It delivers predictable, subtle results, so you look like you, only with less noticeable facial lines.

Botulinum toxin (Botox) comes from a toxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. It consists of 7 types of neurotoxins. Only toxins A and B are used by clinicians in Botox treatment. This toxin can cause botulism in high doses (an illness that affects the nerves). Botox has been used since the 1970s.

Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that tell a muscle to contract, reducing muscle activity. When a targeted facial muscle relaxes, the overlying skin is no longer being repeatedly creased, so lines look softer and the area appears smoother and more youthful.

When will I notice a difference, and how long do results last?

Many patients at Dr Matla Aesthetics start to see early softening of lines within 2–4 days of treatment. The full effect usually develops over 1–2 weeks as the treated muscles gradually relax. During this time, you will notice a reduced movement in the targeted areas. resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.

For most of our patients, the optimal results are visible between 10 and 14 days after their treatment. It’s then that facial lines and dynamic wrinkles become significantly softened, offering a fresher and more natural appearance. It’s important to note that individual results will vary depending on factors such as an individual’s muscle strength, metabolism, and previous Botox® exposure.

In most adults, Botox anti-wrinkle results last around 3–4 months. Some people may notice their treatments last a little longer or shorter depending on their muscle strength, metabolism and how often they’ve had Botox before. Once movement fully returns, you can safely repeat treatment if it’s still suitable for you.

Could Botox make me look unnatural?

You can trust it to deliver subtle results when you are treated by someone who is licensed, trained and a medical expert in facial anatomy. When Botox is carefully dosed and placed by an experienced doctor, results should look subtle and natural. Friends may notice you look well-rested, but they shouldn’t be able to pinpoint why. As BOTOX® is a technique-sensitive treatment, you’ll look like yourself, only fresher. No one should be able to tell you’ve had anything done unless you tell them.

At Dr Matla Aesthetics, the goal is always “you on your best day”, not a noticeably altered face. We review how your muscles move at the consultation and can adjust doses gradually if you are new to treatment.

Is there any downtime after Botox injections?

Botox® has little to no downtime. Most people go straight back to work or normal activities afterwards. You might notice mild redness, small bumps or light bruising around the injection sites; these usually settle over a few hours to a few days. To help the Botox® treatment settle properly, we recommend being cautious for the first 24 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise, touching or rubbing the treated areas, and any pressure on the injection sites.

To help your results settle well, we recommend avoiding hot showers, baths, steam rooms, and facial massages during this time. Following these steps will help reduce swelling and improve results.

BOTOX® is customised to your goals and needs. When you meet with Dr Matla, he will determine the appropriate treatment for any areas you wish to address, including frown, crow’s feet, and forehead.

For the crow’s feet area, Dr Matla will inject 3 areas of the muscle that frame the side of the eye. This will be repeated on the muscle that frames the other eye.

Dr Matla will administer 5 injections into the muscles between your brows and in your forehead for the frown lines. And 4 to 6 injections will be administered into a muscle in your forehead for the forehead area.

Other possible side effects include dry mouth, discomfort or pain at the injection site, tiredness, headache, neck pain, eye problems: double vision, blurred vision, decreased eyesight, and dry eyes; and allergic reactions.

Is Botox suitable for men?

Absolutely. More men than ever are choosing Botox to soften deep frown lines, forehead creases and crow’s feet while staying natural-looking. Over the last two decades, there has been a notable surge of 325% in the number of men seeking cosmetic treatments. Among these treatments, the uptake of BOTOX® among men has been particularly rapid. In the last three years alone, men have accounted for over one million botulinum toxin treatments.

When surveyed, a significant majority of men express a desire to maintain a youthful appearance, acknowledging their concerns about the changes reflected in the mirror. An impressive 80% prioritise addressing crow’s feet, while 74% aim to tackle forehead lines, and 60% are keen to address frown lines as their primary focus. These statistics underscore the increasing popularity of BOTOX® among men, reaffirming its efficacy in helping men achieve their aesthetic goals.

At Dr Matla Aesthetics in Newcastle, we see male patients from a wide range of professions who simply want to look less tired or stern. Doses and injection patterns are tailored to maintain masculine features and avoid over-feminising the face.

No, there isn’t. It’s crucial to recognise that if a vial doesn’t bear the BOTOX® label, it isn’t authentic BOTOX®. Each medical product possesses its unique formulation, potency, and approved dosages, meaning that no single product can substitute for another. Consequently, the concept of a “generic” version of BOTOX® doesn’t exist. BOTOX® stands alone as a distinctive formulation, extensively researched and widely acknowledged as the most studied treatment of its kind. With over 15 years of clinical scrutiny, its safety and efficacy have been detailed in 495 peer-reviewed articles across scientific and medical journals.

Dr Matla offers a number of professional skin treatments designed to improve fine lines and wrinkles, such as PDO Threadlifts, Chemical peels, Microneedling PRP Facials, Dermal fillers, 3D Hydrio2 Facials, HIFU Facelift Treatment, Profhilo and cosmeceutical grade skincare products. Please arrange a consultation to discuss the best options for you.

Certainly! There’s no need to worry about flying after receiving BOTOX® anti-wrinkle injections. Botox injections are not influenced by changes in altitude or cabin pressure, so you can board your flight without any concerns about negative effects on your treatment. Feel free to plan your travels as usual, knowing that your BOTOX® results will remain unaffected by your journey.

Can I wear makeup after my injections?

Absolutely! Light makeup can be applied a few hours after treatment as long as you avoid firmly rubbing the skin over the injection sites. However, it’s advisable to steer clear of heavy makeup for a few hours post-treatment to prevent applying excessive pressure on the treated area, which could potentially displace the product. Opting for mineral makeup immediately after the procedure is a great choice as it tends to be gentler on the skin and less likely to interfere with the treated areas.
