What is Botox?
Botox is a refined version of botulinum toxin type A, a protein sourced from the Clostridium botulinum bacteria. While it’s a powerful neurotoxin in its natural form, Botox is used in controlled, medical-grade doses for both cosmetic and therapeutic purposes.
When injected into targeted muscles, it temporarily reduces their activity, helping to smooth out dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases. Beyond aesthetics, Botox is also used to treat medical conditions like teeth grinding (bruxism), excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), migraines, TMJ disorders, and muscle spasms.

How Does Botox Actually Work?
Botox works by blocking impulses from nerves to small groups of facial muscles. As these muscles loosen, the skin above them appears smoother.
Wrinkle relaxation treatment is injected into specific muscles, so no other muscles are affected, meaning you can still change your facial expressions but there will be less frowning and fewer wrinkles.
It isn’t a permanent treatment and the effects on your muscles will wear off after 3-4 months, which is when Botox needs to be re-administered.
Benefits of Botox Treatment
- A subtle reduction in forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet
- A preventative approach to early signs of ageing
- Quick treatment times with minimal downtime
- Results that enhance rather than alter your features
- The confidence of being treated by an experienced medical aesthetic doctor
How Long Do Botox Results Last?
Your Botox treatment will start with an in-depth Medical Consultation with Dr Chike Emeagi. You will be able to discuss any concerns you may have about the procedure, and they will be able to suggest the most effective treatment strategy plan for your particular concerns.
The risks and benefits of any treatment will be discussed at length. Our primary aim is to ensure that you are happy with any treatment you undertake.
If you are concerned about your deepening facial lines and would like a Consultation with one of our experts, they will be able to guide you and work out a treatment plan that effectively suits you.
According to the NHS, Botox is a regulated, prescription-only medicine that should only be administered by qualified professionals – read more in this article.
Results typically start to appear within 3–5 days and last around 3 to 4 months. With regular treatments, many clients notice longer-lasting smoothness and improved muscle relaxation over time.
What to Expect During Botox Treatment?
Botox treatment at Hampstead Aesthetics is a straightforward, comfortable process from start to finish. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
- Consultation and facial analysis by Dr Chike
- Quick injections (15–30 min)
- Minimal discomfort; most clients return to their routine right away

Botox and Anti Wrinkle Injections – What’s the difference?
These terms are often used interchangeably. Botox is a specific brand of botulinum toxin A; “anti‑wrinkle injections” refers broadly to this category. Both relax muscles to smooth lines, while dermal fillers are different (they add volume) .
Botox: Risks & Safety Considerations
Botox is a safe and well-established treatment when administered by qualified professionals. At Hampstead Aesthetics in West Hampstead London, we use only premium, FDA-approved Botox and follow strict clinical protocols to ensure the highest standards of care.
Common, botox temporary side effects may include:
- Mild redness at the injection site
- Minor swelling or puffiness
- Light bruising
- Slight jaw fatigue or tightness
Rare but possible botox side effects include:
- Temporary asymmetry in facial expression
- Mild headache
- Drooping eyelid (ptosis), uncommon and temporary
These effects are usually short-lived and resolve on their own. Our follow-up care ensures any concerns are addressed quickly for your comfort and safety.
Botox Treatment Areas
1. Forehead Lines
Dynamic horizontal lines form across the forehead as we express ourselves. Botox smooths these lines by relaxing the frontalis muscle, resulting in a fresher, more youthful appearance.
2. Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines / 11s)
Located between the eyebrows, these vertical lines can make you look tired or stern. A small amount of Botox in this area creates a softer, more relaxed look.
3. Crow’s Feet (Smile Lines at the Eyes)
These fine lines appear at the outer corners of the eyes. Botox effectively reduces their appearance while preserving your natural smile.
4. Eyebrow Lift
A subtle brow lift using Botox can open up the eye area, creating a refreshed look without surgery.
5. Bunny Lines (Nose Wrinkles)
Tiny diagonal lines appear on the sides of your nose when you smile or scrunch. Botox helps soften these lines for a smoother nasal bridge.
6. Chin Dimpling
Also known as “orange peel chin,” this is caused by an overactive mentalis muscle. Botox smooths the area for a refined lower face.
7. Jawline Slimming & Teeth Grinding (Masseter Treatment)
Botox can relax the jaw muscles to create a slimmer facial profile and alleviate symptoms of teeth grinding (bruxism).
8. Neck Bands (Platysmal Bands)
For clients concerned about visible neck bands, Botox can help relax the platysma muscle, improving the jawline and neck appearance.
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Botox reduces overactive sweat glands in areas like the underarms, hands, or feet.
It offers months of dryness and confidence with minimal downtime.
Migraine Relief
Botox can ease chronic migraines by calming muscle tension and blocking pain signals.
Ideal for those with frequent headaches affecting daily life.
Trapezius Slimming (Trap Tox)
Botox in the trapezius muscle slims the shoulders and elongates the neck.
It also helps relieve tension from stress or posture-related tightness.
Calf Reduction with Botox
Targeted Botox softens bulky calf muscles for a more streamlined leg shape.
A subtle, non-surgical option for lower leg contouring.

Botox is an excellent choice for softening dynamic facial lines — particularly in the forehead, frown, and eye areas.

- Polynucleotide treatments – These regenerative injectables improve skin quality, hydration, and elasticity, enhancing the natural results of wrinkle relaxing injections.
- Skin boosters – Often used alongside Botox to refresh dull, dehydrated skin and improve texture without adding volume.
- Lip enhancement – For clients looking to rejuvenate both the upper face and perioral area, subtle lip filler can balance your overall facial proportions.
Whether you’re looking for anti-wrinkle treatments near me or want to explore a bespoke, multi-treatment plan, we’ll ensure your results remain elegant, effective, and true to your natural features.
