What Actually Is "Botox" — And Is It Right For Me?

Let’s clear a few things up.

No, "Botox" isn’t just for celebrities.No, it won’t freeze your face if it’s done properly. And yes — it might just be the glow-up you didn’t know you needed.

So… what actually is “Botox”?

“Botox” is actually just one of the main brand names for botulinum toxin — it’s become part of everyday language (a bit like saying Hoover instead of vacuum). But don’t let the scary name put you off.

Botulinum toxin has been used safely in medicine for decades — not just for aesthetics, but also for treating migraines, eye twitching, excessive sweating and more.

In the aesthetics world, a few tiny injections relax specific facial muscles, softening the lines caused by movement (known as dynamic wrinkles). Think frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet — the works.

Will I look frozen?

Only if you ask to. (And even then, I’ll probably say no.)

I specialise in natural, balanced results — the kind where your friends say “You look fresh,” but can’t quite put their finger on why. You’ll still be able to raise your eyebrows if you want to, smile, and look human. Just... smoother.

What areas can be treated?

At Mr. Beautox Aesthetics, I offer:

• Frown lines (11's between the brows)

• Forehead lines

• Crow’s feet (around the eyes)

• Bunny lines (side of nose)

• Brow lift tweaks

• Lip flip (yes, really)

• “Mini facelift” (a combo that subtly lifts the whole face)

  
  

Is "Botox" safe?

When administered by a trained and insured practitioner (hi 👋), Botox is considered very safe. I only use premium products, in a clinical setting, with full consultation and follow-up included.

How long does it last?

Results typically kick in around 3–10 days after treatment and last about 3–4 months. Some people find it lasts longer with regular use.

Is it right for me?

"Botox" isn’t about changing your face — it’s about softening what you already have and restoring confidence. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “I just look a bit tired,” this might be your solution.

Still unsure?

That’s what consultations are for. There’s no pressure and no obligation — just a chance to talk through what you’re looking for and see if it’s a fit.
