Most people who book their first Botox treatment<\/mark><\/a> have the same three questions rattling around before they even sit down: will it hurt, will I still look like me, and how do I know the practitioner actually knows what they’re doing. None of those are silly questions. Botox<\/mark><\/a> is a prescription-only medicine, and having it administered means trusting someone else’s training and judgement, so it’s reasonable to want to understand the process before you agree to it. Faces has a directory that lets you search for treatments<\/mark><\/a> based on your location, which is a useful place to start once you know what you’re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide walks through what actually happens, from the science behind the Botox injection to the first fortnight afterwards, so the appointment feels less like a leap of faith and the second time round it barely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Botox and How Does It Actually Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That’s the question search engines answer least clearly, so here’s the short version. Botox is a brand name for a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, a protein that blocks the nerve signal telling a muscle to contract. Inject a tiny, calculated amount into a specific muscle and that muscle relaxes for a period of months. In the face, that relaxation softens the lines that form when muscles like the frontalis or corrugator repeatedly fold the skin \u2014 frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
