About Botox

Botox treatment in Lucknow has moved well beyond a single age group. Younger adults choose it for early prevention of dynamic lines, while patients in their forties and fifties use it to soften set wrinkles around the forehead, brow and eyes. At Kayakriti, every plan begins with photographs, a discussion of your daily expressions and a consent process that explains what botox can and cannot do. We never inject without first agreeing on goals in plain language, so you walk in confident about the outcome.

The product itself is a highly purified neurotoxin protein that gently relaxes targeted facial muscles. By easing the pull of these muscles, the overlying skin smooths over the following one to two weeks. Common cosmetic botox treatment areas include forehead lines, the elevens between the brows and crow's feet at the corners of the eyes. Selective dosing can also lift the brow, soften a gummy smile or refine a square jaw, depending on what your anatomy and goals require.

Sessions are quick. After cleansing the skin and marking key points, Dr. Agarwal, FRCS Edinburgh, uses an ultra-fine needle to deliver small injections across the planned zones. Most appointments finish within fifteen minutes, and there is no anaesthesia needed beyond optional topical numbing. Patients usually return to work on the same day, avoiding heavy exercise, lying flat or vigorous facial massage for the rest of the day to keep the product where it was placed.

Wrinkle reduction with botox is temporary by design, which is part of its appeal. Effects begin around day three to five, settle by week two and typically last three to four months. We invite a complimentary review two weeks after your first session, so we can refine dosing if any area needs a touch. With consistent maintenance, many patients find their lines soften over time, requiring fewer units to keep the same level of smoothness.
