As a toxin that’s produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum, Botox® is a safe therapy used for cosmetic purposes. Most patients use it to address wrinkles. However, it’s also useful for stopping conditions such as excessive sweating.

Botox is a very flexible treatment and has a wide range of different applications including:

• Crow’s feet
• Laughter lines around the mouth
• Wrinkles on the brow
• Slimming your jaw muscles
• Sagging necklines
• Reducing excessive sweating

In the hands of a medically trained practitioner, Botox is exceedingly safe. To ensure you remain safe before and during each treatment, Dr Dhesi will assess you before writing your Botox prescription.

However, certain patients cannot receive Botox. They include:

• Pregnant and breastfeeding women
• Those with particular neurological conditions
• People who have had a severe reaction to Botox in the past
• People taking certain medications
• People taking Warfarin, or other blood thinners

It is for these reasons that we perform a full assessment of you and your medical history before administering Botox.
