At estetica, our skilled practitioners across our Chertsey and Windsor clinics take a consultation-led approach to every treatment, ensuring personalised results that your natural beauty. We understand you may have questions about this popular treatment, so we've compiled expert answers to help you make an informed decision.

What Is Botox and How Does It Work?

Botox (Botulinum toxin) is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for creating expression lines and wrinkles. When administered by professionals like our team at estetica, it provides subtle yet effective results that refresh your appearance while maintaining natural facial expressions.


The science behind Botox is straightforward but elegant. When into specific facial muscles, it blocks the nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions. This controlled of targeted muscles reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles—those that form during facial expressions and become permanently etched into the skin with repetitive movement over time.


Botox is most and used to treat:


Forehead lines and furrows


Glabellar lines (the vertical '11' lines between eyebrows)


Crow's feet around the eyes


Bunny lines on the nose


Gummy smiles and downturned mouth corners


Vertical lip lines


Platysmal bands on the neck


The procedure's precision allows our practitioners at both our Chertsey and Windsor clinics to target only the muscles contributing to unwanted lines while preserving your ability to express emotions naturally. The result is a smoother, more refreshed appearance rather than a frozen or expressionless look.

Addressing Common Botox Myths

Despite its popularity, Botox is still surrounded by misconceptions that may prevent people from experiencing its benefits. Let's clarify some of these myths:


Myth: "Botox always looks fake or frozen."


Reality: When administered by our experienced practitioners at estetica, Botox subtle, natural-looking results. The "frozen" appearance occurs only with improper technique or excessive dosing. Our personalised approach ensures your results enhance your natural beauty while preserving facial expressiveness.


Myth: "Botox injections are very painful."


Reality: Most clients at our Chertsey and Windsor clinics describe the sensation as a quick pinch that lasts only seconds. We use ultra-fine needles and can apply topical numbing cream if you're concerned about discomfort.


Myth: "Once you start Botox, you can never sto.p"


Reality: You can discontinue Botox at any time. Your muscles will gradually return to their pre-treatment function, and wrinkles will over time. There's no dependency created, only a preference many develop for their smoother appearance.


Myth: "Botox is dangerou.s"


Reality: Botox has a remarkable safety record spanning over three decades of cosmetic use. At estetica, all our Botox treatments are performed by qualified medical professionals following strict protocols to ensure safety and effectiveness.


Myth: "Botox and fillers are the same thing."


Reality: Botox relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles, while dermal fillers add volume to areas that have lost fullness. Many of our clients at estetica benefit from a combination approach for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.


By dispelling these myths, we hope to provide clarity about this effective treatment that has helped countless clients their aesthetic goals with minimal disruption to their busy lives.

When you arrive for your Botox treatment, the process is remarkably efficient:

Treatment: Using ultra-fine needles, our practitioner will administer small amounts of Botox to the targeted muscles. The entire injection process typically takes only minutes.


Post-treatment guidance: We'll provide specific aftercare instructions to maximise your results and minimise any potential side effects.
