Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botox) in Dubai
Some facial lines become more visible when you frown, raise your eyebrows or smile. Botulinum toxin injections — widely known by the brand name Botox — reduce activity in selected muscles to soften these lines. The treatment plan considers how your face moves and the expression you want to preserve.
What this treatment involves
Small amounts of a prescription botulinum toxin product are injected into selected muscles. Its action differs from filler: it reduces muscle activity rather than adding volume.
What we discuss
Assessment looks at lines at rest and during movement, facial symmetry, eyelid and brow position, medical history and previous response to injections. The forehead, the frown lines between the brows and the lines at the outer corners of the eyes are each assessed on their own rather than treated as one block.
- Forehead lines — the horizontal lines that appear when you raise your brows.
- Frown lines — the vertical lines between the eyebrows.
- Lines at the outer corners of the eyes, which deepen when you smile.
Who it may be considered for
It may suit selected adults with expression-related lines. Forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet are assessed individually according to the product and clinical indication.
When it may be deferred, or another option suggested
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, infection at an injection site, certain neuromuscular conditions, allergies or interacting medicines may make treatment inappropriate. The prescribing clinician assesses these factors.
How the visit goes
Your clinician assesses facial movement, explains the product and proposed areas, and discusses consent, aftercare, risks and cost before treatment.
Before treatment
Share your medicines, supplements, relevant medical conditions and previous injections. Do not stop prescribed treatment without medical advice.
Recovery and risks
Temporary injection-site discomfort, bruising or headache may occur. Unwanted muscle weakness, brow or eyelid drooping and asymmetry are possible. Difficulty breathing, swallowing or speaking requires immediate medical care.
The result, and its limits
Effects develop after treatment rather than immediately, and are temporary. Timing and duration vary with the product, area and individual response. Deeper lines present at rest may not disappear fully.
Cost
Cost depends on the product and the areas included in the agreed plan. The full price and review arrangements are explained in advance.
Questions about this treatment
- Is Botox the same as filler?
- No. Botox is a brand of botulinum toxin, which reduces muscle activity. Fillers add support or volume. The clinician explains the product actually proposed for you.
- Will I still be able to move my face?
- The aim and degree of muscle relaxation are discussed before treatment. Results depend on your anatomy, product, areas and dose, and normal-looking movement cannot be guaranteed.
