Boosting your confidence with Botox in London

If you’re feeling a little tired or jaded, then you might be considering Botox in London. Ageing happens to everyone at some point. But now, it’s possible to hold back the tide and keep your younger looks for longer. Anti-wrinkle injections such as Botox smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and offer you a little lift. And many of our customers discover that, in the process, they also get a boost to their confidence. However, if you want to get the best results from your Botox treatment, you need to do a few key things before and after your session.

Before you book your appointment
Before you can book your Botox treatment, you obviously need to choose your clinic. It’s always best to check reviews and pick a clinic that is well experienced in aesthetic treatments and qualified to deliver them. We are a medical clinic with almost twenty years of experience. Our London Botox clinics are also fitted with the latest technology.

Of course, while it shouldn’t be your primary consideration, you do also need to check the clinic’s Botox prices to ensure they fall into your price range. At Therapie Clinic, we like to keep Botox injections affordable and therefore offer three areas for the price of two.

Once you’ve chosen your clinic, you can then consider what you might like to treat. For example, Botox for the forehead is popular with those that have discovered they get wrinkles when lifting their eyebrows. But if you’re not sure what you want to be done, do not worry because we’re here to help in your pre-treatment consultation.

Your pre-treatment consultation

Before Botox treatment, it’s vital that you receive a consultation. Our consultations are currently happening online and can be booked here. During this appointment, we will be able to discuss what you would like to achieve from your treatment and check your suitability.

We’ll also share the few things you need to avoid in the days leading up to your injectables. This includes ibuprofen, a few vitamins and alcohol.  We promise you it’s worth it and will result in a more successful treatment!

Botox aftercare and why it matters

Once you’ve had your treatment, there is then another consultation to share the Botox aftercare advice. This is crucial for getting the best Botox results and avoiding something going wrong. For example, you need to avoid lying down for the first few hours after your treatment, and vigorous exercise needs to be avoided for 24 hours. This is so the Botox doesn’t ‘slip’ into other areas that have not been treated.

These things only need to be avoided for the first day, though, and you’ll then be able to get right back to living your life to the full while the Botox takes effect. It’ll take a few days to see it start working, and full results will be visible after two weeks. If it’s your first time having Botox, we also follow up with you after a fortnight to check the results and make any necessary adjustments if needed.

Book the best Botox in London

As you can see, Botox is an effective and straightforward treatment with only a little before and aftercare required. If you’re ready for that boost in confidence, either download our app, give us a call on 08000 121 565 or book your online consultation here to get the best Botox London has to offer.

Botox for 21st-century brides

Have you been thinking about getting a bit of Botox before your big day? It’s fair to say that this decade has been a tricky one for brides. With numerous lockdowns and rules, many have found themselves having to postpone their wedding numerous times. It might feel like the additional stress and worry have taken their toll on your skin. Perhaps, you’re even seeing the first signs of ageing. But do not fear, if you want to look your best on the big day, we’re sharing everything that brides need to know about getting Botox in the UK.

Botox treatments to consider

Before we get into the details, let’s just consider your treatment options. Anti-wrinkle injections such as Botox can be used to get rid of fine lines and furrows, for example, those that can appear on the forehead or the corner of the eyes. But that’s not all. Over time, your brow can begin to droop, making the space between your brows and your eyes smaller. You may first notice this when trying out more complex eye make-up and realising there’s less “space”. However, a Botox brow lift can reverse this, helping to enhance your natural beauty.

Timing your Botox treatment

One of the most important considerations for a bride is timing the Botox injections. You might be concerned that if you have these too close to the wedding, you’ll have to deal with Botox side effects. However, these are minimal and only last for a couple of days. However, Botox doesn’t work immediately and can take a couple of weeks to be fully effective.

How long Botox works varies from person to person, but you can expect it to be effective for somewhere around 2-4 months. Therefore, you simply need to have your treatment a few weeks before the big day to see the best results in your wedding photos.

Choosing your Botox clinic

To get the best Botox treatment, you must choose a professional clinic where you can feel confident and relaxed. Therapie Clinic is an award-winning medical clinic with qualified and trained professionals to administer these anti-wrinkle injections. With over twenty-five Botox clinics in the UK, we have a wealth of experience and offer a relaxed ambience. Our clinics are all easily accessible and fitted with the latest technology so that you can get the best results.

How much Botox costs

You might be concerned about whether Botox will fit in your bridal budget. In fact, Botox costs less than most people think. Here at Therapie Clinic, we also like to offer a first-class service at an affordable price. That’s why we offer three areas of Botox for the price of two. This costs just £199. That’s probably less than you’re spending on the bouquet of flowers you’ll carry down the aisle.

Booking your Botox in the UK

With restrictions easing, Botox and big weddings will be back very soon. Make sure you’re looking your best on your big day by booking your Botox now. You can either get started right away by booking your online consultation or give us a call on 08000 121 565 – we’re waiting to answer your questions and help you out.

Botox at UK clinics

Botox is back! The pandemic might occasionally be putting a hold on Botox at our UK clinics. But, right now, clinics are open and waiting to treat you. Yes, we are very excited too. But before you rush in, keep reading if you’re new to Botox. We’re sharing a few things you need to do before and after your Botox treatment to ensure you get the best results.

Before your Botox treatment

It sounds obvious, but the first thing you need to do is consider what facial areas you would like to treat. For example, you may want Botox for the forehead or crow’s feet around the eyes. However, if you have cold sores or are pregnant, then we will not be able to offer you Botox injectables.

Next up is to book your pre-treatment consultation. These are currently being carried out online. During this session, we’ll be able to carry out a facial assessment and discuss what you’re looking to achieve from your anti-wrinkle injections.

You’re then ready to book your treatment. While bruising is usually minimal, it’s best to plan your treatment around your social commitments. We know that these may well be lacking at the moment, which makes it a great time to get Botox treatment!

It’s also best to leave yourself a space of at least seven days before getting your injectables. This is because there are a few things you’ll need to avoid in the week before having your treatment. This includes certain vitamins, ibuprofen, and alcohol (sorry!). Taking these precautions helps to limit the amount of bruising you might get. Botox side effects tend to be minimal, but it’s always best to do what you can to avoid them.


After your Botox treatment

If you want fabulous results, then it’s crucial that you follow the Botox aftercare advice you are given in your post-treatment consultation. We’re sharing a few of them here as it will help you to book your Botox treatment at the most convenient time for you.

After having Botox, you will need to remain upright for around four hours. Lying down too soon can result in Botox “slipping” into other areas and affecting facial muscles that were not treated. For the same reason, vigorous exercise should also be avoided for 24 hours. You’ll also have to pack away the make-up for a day to prevent any slight possibility of an infection.

With these precautions, your injections will start work within a few days, and you’ll begin to see the results within a week of having the Botox injections. Feeling a little heaviness in the face as the injections start to work in this first week is normal. If it’s your first time having Botox treatment, we’ll also follow up with you after two weeks to check the results.

Book the UK’s best Botox

If you’re ready to discover a more youthful you, then Therapie Clinic can help. As a doctor-led medical clinic, we offer the best Botox at affordable prices. We have Botox clinics across the UK, including in towns and cities such as Newcastle, Bradford, Glasgow and London. Simply book your online consultation here or give us a call on 08000 121 565.

Botox, London & feeling fresher
It might be a great city full of life, but there’s no doubt that London can take a toll on your skin. Right now, we’re experiencing a dramatic drop in pollution rates. But once the pandemic is under control and everyone gets back to work? They will rise again, and your skin will feel the impact.

One of the effects of pollution is to age your skin, meaning you end up looking not quite as fresh as you once did. But do not fear, with six clinics offering Botox in London alone, we’ve got your back. Youthful, rejuvenated looks can be yours. But why Botox?

The benefits of Botox
Botox injections are an effective way to banish fine lines and wrinkles – something no serum or cream can do. As it’s a non-invasive treatment, Botox side effects are also minimal, unlike other options such as a facelift which involves surgery. The popularity of anti-wrinkle injections has exploded in recent years for these reasons.

Got furrows appearing above and between your eyes making you look like you have a permanent frown? Botox for the forehead will make them disappear.

Noticed the wrinkles at the corner of your eyes when you break out your grin? Botox for the crow’s feet will smooth them right out.

But that’s not all. Many customers report that these injectables don’t just get rid of their wrinkles, but they also give them younger, fresher skin. That, in turn, gives them a boost in confidence. Because, whether we agree with it or not, we know that we’re still judged on our appearance.

But how much does Botox cost?
Pollution is not the only drawback of living and working in the fabulous city of London. There’s no getting away from the fact it’s an expensive city with prices that are inflated compared to the rest of the UK.

However, we’re bucking that trend. At Therapie Clinic, you will find that our Botox prices in London are the same as the rest of the UK. Plus, we offer three areas of Botox for the price of two.

Just want a single area treated with Botox? The cost of that is £135. Looking to get two or three areas done? Then that will be a very affordable £199.

Finding the best Botox in London
You don’t just want any old Botox treatment, though – we’ve all seen the horror pictures of when Botox goes wrong because someone didn’t know what they were doing. At Therapie Clinic, we can offer you the best Botox in London. We’re an award-winning aesthetic clinic that has successfully delivered millions of treatments. Our staff are fully qualified and highly trained.

Not only that, but our clinics are conveniently located across London with our flagship store on Wigmore Street in Marylebone. Right now, you can book your online Botox consultation, or give us a call on 08000 121 565 to make sure you get London’s best Botox treatment!

Botox in the UK allows you to get in on the act!
Ariana Grande, the Kardashians and the Jenners are all rumoured to have had one and now you can too. Yes, the Botox brow lift is not just for celebrities. As Botox in the UK becomes mainstream, more are discovering how anti-wrinkle injections can give lift their brow. Unlike surgery, it’s painless and non-invasive, and you can even have it done during your lunch break.

Why should you have a Botox brow lift?
While most people are aware that Botox injections can help them banish fine lines and wrinkles, the brow lift is a little less known treatment. As the face ages, one of the first areas to be affected is the forehead. Furrows can form, and volume tends to be lost. This impacts the rest of your face more than you might think.
One of its side effects is that it causes the brows to droop. Consequently, you end up looking like your frowning all the time, and your eyes look smaller. Botox treatment is a safe and easy way to lift your brow again.

What’s involved with a Botox brow lift?
Anti-wrinkle injections, more commonly known as Botox, are used to relax the muscles that are dragging down your brow. The specific muscles that need treatment vary from person to person but can include Botox on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes.

It takes a few days for the Botox injections to take full effect, but you’ll love the result. It opens your face and eyes, gives you beautiful brows and makes you look a million dollars just like those celebrities.

Are there any side effects?
There are very few Botox side effects. You may experience a small amount of bruising at the site of the injections, but this soon disappears. You must remain upright for a few hours after your Botox treatment so that the Botox doesn’t “slip” to other areas of your face. Exercise should also be avoided for the first 24 hours.

However, because the treatment is so quick and straightforward, you can have your injectables during your lunch hour and get right back to work after.

How much does a Botox brow lift cost?
This will depend on how many areas you need to have treated to get the brow lift effect. At Therapie Clinic, our Botox prices start at £135, and we offer three areas for the cost of two for just £199.

Where can I get my brows lifted with Botox in the UK?
All our state-of-the-art UK clinics offer this Botox treatment. Our medical professionals are fully trained and can ensure you get a natural look from your injections. We are conveniently located in towns and cities such as Edinburgh, Newcastle and London. You can even book an online Botox consultation. Alternatively, give us a call on 08000 121 565 to get your appointment.

Getting Botox in the UK
So, you’ve decided that you’re quite interested in getting Botox. The UK has seen a surge in the number of people getting anti-wrinkle injections in recent years. This is hardly surprising as it’s become more socially acceptable and more widely available.

When you are over all the creams and potions that just aren’t doing much, it is a simple and effective non-effective option. The Botox injections relax the muscles at the treated areas so that any fine lines or wrinkles are smoothed out, leaving you with a fresher and more youthful appearance. But before making your final decision to go for it, here are a few things you might want to know first.

Before having Botox
There are a few precautions that you should take before having Botox. For example, we advise that you avoid aspirin and ibuprofen in the week beforehand to reduce any bruising that you may get. If you’re on any medications, you must discuss this with your medical professional in your pre-treatment consultation.

Botox aftercare
After having your Botox treatment, you will need to avoid certain things to ensure you get the best possible result. In the first few hours you should not lie down or bend over otherwise you risk the Botox moving to other areas of your face. Exercise also needs to be avoided for 24 hours.
At Therapie Clinic, we include a post-treatment consultation, so you are fully informed of everything you need to avoid. Don’t worry, though, there’s nothing that will make your life difficult and most things only need avoiding for a very short time.

Botox side effects are minimal. Some people experience a small amount of bruising at the sight of the injection. If this is uncomfortable, then you can take paracetamol.

What Botox can treat

There are several areas of your face in which you might start to notice fine lines and wrinkles. Botox for the forehead is a popular treatment. It can be used to treat any furrows that appear when lifting your eyebrows and for the frown lines between your eyes. Botox for crow’s feet at the corner of your eyes and lines running from the nose to the mouth are also popular.

If you are looking to banish fine lines from your face, then anti-wrinkle injectables can treat them.

Botox Prices
The cost of Botox in the UK is based on the number of areas that you have treated with the injections. At Therapie Clinic, we offer three areas for the price of two at £199. If you wanted to treat bunny lines, this is just £49.

Where to get Botox in the UK
Therapie Clinic is the UK’s leading aesthetic clinic. Our clinics are located in numerous cities throughout the UK, including Newcastle, Sheffield, Watford and Kent. We also have clinics offering Botox in London at various locations. Find your nearest clinic here.

Whether you have more questions about getting Botox injections or are ready to book your appointment, give us a call on 08000 121 565 or pop into your nearest clinic.

Botox, London and the chaos of Christmas shoppers
Londoners, it is that time of year when what appears to be half of the city descends on to the streets in search of a Christmas bargain. Going about your daily business becomes tougher. In central London, just moving 100 metres can be a challenge – elbows barging through and feet being crushed.

But there are a few sanctuaries to be found inside the city. We have four stunning clinics, beautifully serene where you can lie back, relax and get Botox treatment for wrinkle reduction and skin rejuvenation. Not only do you get to escape the hustle and bustle, but you also get to roll back the years. But what can Botox injectables help you with?

Botox for forehead lines
Botox, or botulinum toxin to give it its full name, might not be able to reduce London’s Christmas chaos, but you can use it for wrinkle reduction. One of the most popular areas is the forehead. As your skin begins to lose its elasticity, you can find fine lines, and eventually, deeper wrinkles appearing across your forehead. However, when our experts administer Botox injections, this can smooth out any forehead wrinkles.

Some people worry that this will prevent them from being able to make facial expressions. However, this is not the case. The “frozen face” look is often an indicator of overuse of Botox injections. Here at Therapie Clinic, we much prefer to remove fine lines and wrinkles and keep the natural look.

Botox around the eyes
You are enjoying your life – you laugh a lot with friends. But as a result, you’re noticing those crow’s feet appear around the eyes. They make an appearance each time you smile and might even dent your confidence. There’s no need to stop grinning thought as Botox injections can smooth out these fine lines and give you a real sense of rejuvenation.

If you’re wondering “does Botox hurt?”, then the thought of injections near your eyes might not be appealing. However, when administering these injections, a very fine needle is used, which means little to no pain is felt. A few people get a bit of bruising around the injection site but nothing noticeable.

Botox for brow lines
These frown lines can be the first wrinkles that appear. Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean you’ve spent too much of your time frowning at others – it’s natural. Everyone gets them at some point in their life.

However, many are keen to have Botox treatment to smooth them out as soon as they appear. They are sometimes called “number 11” lines as, when you frown, two vertical lines wrinkles appear between your brows. While there are a whole variety of anti-wrinkle treatments from creams to surgery, anti-wrinkle injections offer the best, non-invasive results.

Look lush in London
If you’re looking to pamper yourself and want to escape the Christmas madness, we have four clinics across the city offering the best Botox in London. Click here to find your nearest one. We provide a range of cosmetic injections, including the top brands, Botox and Juvederm.

How long does it last, you ask? That depends as it can vary from person to person. However, you can expect to experience Botox’s facial rejuvenation for 2-4 months. This anti-wrinkle treatment also costs less than you think with three areas of Botox injections, costing just £199.

Treat yourself this Christmas and get anti-wrinkle injectables from Therapie Clinic. Book your online consultation or give us a call on 0800 121 565.

Summer time is just around the corner and we all want skin that looks healthy, youthful and rejuvenated. Whether you have a summer wedding, a confirmation or communion to attend or a host of BBQ’s and summer parties in the diary we all want to look and feel our best. This is where anti wrinkle injections, more commonly known as botox can be just the helping hand you need.

So, what’s the big deal about botox?
Try as we might, the dreaded tell-tale signs of aging, such as frown lines, crow’s feet and wrinkles around the eye area, are almost impossible to hide. Most of us have tried and tested all manner of “wrinkle fighting” and “anti-aging” creams, serums and masks but have failed to banish that tired look that unfortunately comes with getting older. But with the help of anti-wrinkle injections, you can achieve a youthful look that is subtle, yet incredibly effective. At Thérapie Clinic, our highly skilled medical team have a deep understanding of facial aesthetics in both women and men, which means we can help you to achieve a well-rested look that is above all, natural.

Whether we realise it or not, most of us know someone that has had botox. You may have wondered why that work colleague looks like they have just spent a week at a spa and come back looking like they have bathed in collagen. Maybe you’re wondering why your friend who has recently had a baby looks so fresh face, despite the fact they are surviving on only 3 hours sleep a night.

Even though so many people have gone “under the needle” and despite the fact that anti-wrinkle injections has been tried and tested for over 20 years, there remains a a lot of myths and misinformation about botox, the procedures, and the risks. We’re here to clear up all the rumours – and your unease – with everything you need to know about botox.

The facts and figures speak for themselves
• The global aesthetics market is estimated to grow at a rate of 10.8% from now until 2021, reaching a whopping £12 billion!
• Botox is the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment, with more than 6 million treatments administered each year
• Botox is the number one aesthetic treatment in Ireland and the UK, with lip fillers a very close second.
• Thérapie Clinics demand for anti-wrinkle injections has tripled in the last year, with thousands of customers putting their trust in Thérapie Clinic to deliver an outstanding service with amazing results.

What exactly is Botox?
It sounds worse than it is, but Botox is a purified form of the naturally occurring botulinum toxin that is obtained from bacteria. Botox is a drug made from a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum called botulinum toxin. Although Botulinum toxin is a poisonous substance, which sounds scary, it is perfectly safe—as long as it’s made and administered by a licensed medical professional. Botox is purified with a saline solution and administered in miniscule does, making it safe for use.

Botox is FDA approved meaning it has been confirmed as being safe for use by the Food and Drug Administration, a federal agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. It is used medically to treat certain muscular conditions, and aesthetically to remove wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing muscles. It can also be used to treat excessive sweating, migraines, and some bladder and bowel disorders. The tiny, regulated amount of Botox given to correct wrinkles has been used safely for decades.

How does Botox work?
Botox is injected into localised areas of the skin in extremely small concentrations and it works by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected. When those nerve signals are interrupted, the affected muscle is temporarily relaxed, and the skin becomes smoother. Without movement of these selected muscles in the face, wrinkles become softer in appearance and fines lines are reduced. Some are actually removed completely leading to a more rejuvenated and refreshed look. With continued treatment, lines and wrinkles will appear less prominent with time as the muscles shrink and becoming less contracted. It’s also worth noting, that the procedure will not only reduce the appearance of fine lines, but it will also help to prevent further wrinkles from developing.

Where can Botox be used?
Botox only works on wrinkles that are caused by muscle movement. These are known as dynamic wrinkles and are often called “expression lines.” The most common dynamic wrinkles that anti-wrinkle injections can treat are lines on the upper face, such as the frown lines between the eye brows, horizontal lines on the forehead, and crow’s feet around the eyes. These lines are caused by smiling, frowning, squinting, and other facial expressions. Botox will not work on fine lines and wrinkles caused by sagging or loss of plumpness in the face. These are known as static wrinkles. Static wrinkles include lines on the cheeks, neck, around the mouth and jowl areas.

Dermal fillers are recommended to treat these areas, as they restore volume, and work by plumping out the skin. At Thérapie Clinic we do not recommend anti-wrinkle injections for under the eye area. Although anti-wrinkle injections has been used cosmetically since the late 1980s, not enough research has been done to rule anti-wrinkle injections effective for wrinkles and bags directly under the eyes.

Is the treatment painful?
The treatment only takes a few minutes. The anti-wrinkle injections is administered with a very fine needle, in fact, it’s one of the smallest needles on the market, making it practically painless. All you will fell is the tiny prick of the needle for a split second, and most patients tolerate it very well. Several injections are given into the area you’re concerned about, for example the frown lines between the brows. If you are highly sensitive, and topical anaesthetic gel can be applied first.

When will I see results?
It varies by patient, but in general the effects of anti-wrinkle injections are not evident immediately. They will start to take effect after 2-5 days, when the muscles beneath the skin begin to relax. Once they do, the difference will be noticeable to you as you know every inch and line of your own face. The results are subtle and natural, making you look well-rested and more youthful. The best results will be visible about 2-3 weeks after the injections have been administered.

How long do Botox injections last?
Botox injections are not a permanent treatment, and they will wear off with time. Repeated treatments are necessary for continued wrinkle-reducing effects. Most people find that the muscle-relaxing effect of anti-wrinkle injections lasts for 3 to 4 months, but this can vary from person to person. The lines and wrinkles can often appear less severe with time because the muscles are shrinking.

Is there any down time?
One of the greatest benefits of anti-wrinkle injections is the lack of down time needed after your treatment. Because the procedure is not surgical, you can return to your normal activities immediately afterwards. It is advisable to keep upright for at least 4 hours post treatment. Its also recommended that you avoid exercise for 24 hours post injections. You should be mindful of the treated area and avoid touching the area too much. When removing make up, you should take care not to put too much pressure on the area.

Are there any side effects?
At Thérapie Clinic, all anti wrinkle treatments are carried out by medical professionals. All of our injectors have a deep understanding of the underlying facial musculature and facial aesthetics, ensuring you are in safe and highly skilled hands. After your treatment, you may experience some slight redness or swelling at the treated area, but this will quickly disappear within a couple of hours.

Some minor bruising can occur at the site of the injection, so it’s advisable not to take any medication that thins the blood (like aspirin) for several days prior to your treatment, as this increases the risk of bruising. If bruising does occur, you can use some Arnica cream on the area. Some patients experience some mild headaches or a feeling of heaviness, but this will disappear, and you can take paracetamol if needed to alleviate this.

Will I look frozen after botox?
In a word, No. Our doctors study your facial musculature and administer the right amount of product for you, for the most natural and subtle of results. The ‘frozen’ or unnatural appearance you sometimes see on celebrities happen as a result of over-treatment. And yes, there is such a thing as too much botox. In fact, if too much anti-wrinkle injections is administered, the adverse effect can occur, and skin can droop and sag. No need to worry though, because at Thérapie Clinic we take the “less is more” approach to ensure the results are natural and subtle.

What about Botox for men?
More men are getting botox than ever before. At Thérapie Clinic, we a have seen a significant uptake in the number of male clients booking in for botox, with men accounting for 30% of our customers. The only difference, between anti-wrinkle injections for women and men, is that men tend to need more of the product. Botox works by weakening and paralysing muscles, and because men have greater muscle mass, they need more units per treatment area.

Is it true that anti-wrinkle injections can prevent wrinkles from forming?
Many people are turning to anti-wrinkle injections at Thérapie Clinic to prevent the signs of aging from becoming apparent. Evidence suggests that as the muscle is trained to relax and the overlying skin releases its wrinkle that it does help in the prevention of further lines from forming in that area. It’s the repeated contraction of the facial muscle whilst making an expression like smiling or frowning that caused the wrinkle in the first place, so once the muscle relaxes, wrinkles don’t form in the treated area until the effects of the injection wear off.

Regular treatments mean the muscle stays relaxed, and wrinkles are kept at bay. Many of our clients in their 20’s turn to anti-wrinkle injections as a preventative measure, to prevent deep lines from appearing and training the muscles to exist in a relaxed state.
