Important Safety Information

BOTOX® Cosmetic may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening. Get medical help right away if you have any of these problems any time (hours to weeks) after injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic:

Problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing, due to weakening of associated muscles, which can be severe and result in loss of life. You are at the highest risk if these problems are preexisting before injection. Swallowing problems may last for several months.
Spread of toxin effects. The effect of botulinum toxin may affect areas away from the injection site and cause serious symptoms, including loss of strength and all-over muscle weakness, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, loss of bladder control, trouble breathing, and trouble swallowing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Botox and how does it work?

Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for fine lines and wrinkles. At Saddleridge Medical Clinic, Botox is commonly used for cosmetic purposes to reduce the appearance of crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. It works by blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, helping you achieve a smoother, more youthful look.

How long does Botox last?

The effects of Botox typically last between 3 to 4 months. Duration may vary depending on your metabolism, the treatment area, and whether it’s your first session. Many patients at our Saddleridge clinic choose to book regular follow-ups to maintain consistent results.

Is Botox treatment painful?

Botox involves minimal discomfort. Most patients compare it to a quick pinprick. Our trained professionals at Saddleridge Medical Clinic use gentle techniques and may apply a topical numbing cream if needed to ensure a comfortable experience.

Who is a good candidate for Botox?

If you’re noticing fine lines, wrinkles, or signs of facial aging, Botox may be a suitable treatment. Botox is ideal for adults aged 18–65 who are in good general health. During your consultation at our Saddleridge clinic, we’ll assess your needs and determine if Botox is right for you.

Are there any side effects of Botox?

Botox is generally safe when administered by qualified professionals. Some patients may experience mild side effects like redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which typically resolve within a day or two. Our medical team at Saddleridge Medical Clinic will guide you on post-treatment care to minimize any discomfort.
