Frequently Asked Questions

• + How do I know if Botox injections are for me?

  The answer to that question is entirely dependent on you; we are only ever here to provide information and facts. During your consultation, we can discuss all the potential side-effects or concerns you may have before the treatment.

• + I have Glabella lines too; can I get them treated in the same session?

  Yes, it is possible to treat multiple areas at once, as explained, we can discuss the most appropriate treatment avenues for you during the consultation.

• + I am currently breastfeeding am I eligible for Botox injections?

  Usually, if patients are breastfeeding, we recommend that you wait until you are finished. Even though Botox is metabolised locally and is unlikely to move to other areas of the body, it is still ill-advised by medical professionals.

• + How many days does Botox take to have a full effect?

  Roughly Botox takes several days, in most cases at least a week. At Juvea, we tailor our treatment to the individual. For example, some benefit from multiple treatments over an extended period.

• + Is Botox a long-lasting solution for treating frown lines?

  Botox injections for any wrinkles are not permanent, as it is reversible after a few months. Over time the treated muscles regain their ability to contract; at this point, patients can ask for top-up appointments.
