Earlier this month, I went to the You Glo clinic on Harley
Street to get a little bit of Botox under my eyebrows. I’ve always been conscious
of my ‘hooded’ eyelids, so I was looking forward to seeing how the treatment
would lift my face and alter the appearance of my eyes.
Prior to the actual procedure, I sat down with Dr Maryam and
told her exactly what I wanted, and she gave me a full run- down of what was
involved. It was almost pain-free (especially if you were comparing it to lip
fillers!) and the whole treatment only took about 20 minutes. She injected in
three areas around my eyes- under my brow bone, at the front of my eyebrow and
at the top of my forehead. This is because Botox freezes the muscle, so by pinpointing these three places, they
help to lift the whole area and give my brows the ‘lifted’ look that I wanted.
The aftercare was pretty straightforward too. Dr Maryam told
me to avoid touching my face (risk of infection as well as a risk of
manipulating or moving the Botox) and wash and cleanse my face as soon as I got
home.
I have been asked so many questions about the treatment on
Instagram (I always film my treatments!) so I have tried to answer all your
questions below. I’m more than happy to talk in more detail with anyone
considering getting Botox so feel free to drop me a DM if I have missed
anything!

Does it hurt?
No! And I’m not just saying that because the number of
treatments I’ve had now means my pain threshold is getting higher. You feel a
tiny prick- not even as sharp as a bee sting- and that’s it. Absolutely no pain
the following day either.
Were the results instant?
I could notice a subtle lift straight away, but the muscle
takes up to 2 weeks to freeze completely.
Was there a big
difference?
Nothing earth-shattering, but that’s what you want with
Botox! I didn’t want to waltz into the office the next day looking like I had
had my cheeks pulled back and stapled behind my ears, but Dr Maryam had
explained this in my consultation. She also said that if I did want something a
little tighter and more dramatic, that I could go back in for a threading
treatment. (Where they thread through your skin and pull it up- like Lauren on
Real Housewives of Cheshire) I’m sliiiiightly hesitant about this because it
looks painful, but it’s tempting!
How much did it
cost?
Prices start from £180 for Botox.
Would you
recommend it?
Yes, especially for those looking for a subtle lift and
tighten. I’m really impressed!

ReplyDeleteBotox stops the nerve flags that cause muscles to contract, bringing about a debilitating or impermanent incapacitation of the muscle. When the muscle quits contracting and unwinds, the skin on head of it will relax also. The wrinkles will turn out to be obviously milder, and since the muscle is debilitated, the wrinkles won't become further. azzalure botox buy online
