Will I look frozen?
No. We deliberately dose conservatively and map every face individually, so you keep natural expression and gentle movement. The goal is that you look rested — not different, never frozen. If you want more softening at your two-week review, we can always add; we can’t subtract.
How long does botulinum toxin last?
Typically 3–4 months. Results appear within 3–7 days and peak at around 14 days. With regular maintenance, many patients find results begin to last longer as treated muscles lose their wrinkle-forming habit.
How much does it cost?
Priced per area, quoted at consultation. Your exact plan and price are confirmed at your consultation before anything happens, and the consultation fee is credited to your first treatment.
Does the treatment hurt?
Discomfort is very mild — most patients describe each injection as a brief pinprick. The full appointment takes 15–30 minutes, and you can go straight back to your day.
What are the side effects?
Commonly: tiny red marks, mild swelling or a small bruise at injection points, settling within hours to days. Rarely: a heavy brow or temporary eyelid droop, which resolves as the product wears off. We review every patient at two weeks.
What’s the difference between tox and filler?
Tox relaxes the muscles that crease your skin — best for dynamic lines. Filler restores lost volume and structure — best for cheeks, lips and folds visible at rest. They treat different things and are often combined.
Can it help with jaw clenching or excessive sweating?
Yes — bruxism, masseter slimming, hyperhidrosis and vaginismus are all medically indicated uses we treat at Omnia, where muscle relaxation brings genuine quality-of-life relief.
How often should I have it?
Most patients maintain results with a treatment every 3–4 months. Your doctor will recommend the right rhythm for your face and your budget — and never more than you need.
Who shouldn’t have botulinum toxin?
It’s not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with certain neuromuscular conditions, or over an active skin infection. Suitability is confirmed by a doctor at your consultation.
