Not when administered conservatively. We use the smallest effective dose, assessed against your facial anatomy and how your muscles naturally move. The goal is always a softened, refreshed result. You should still look like yourself. Just rested.
For some individuals, results may last three to four months, though this varies depending on muscle strength, lifestyle, and how the body metabolises the product. Results differ between clients.

POST-TREATMENT CARE
Looking after yourself after treatment
Following these guidelines helps support a smooth recovery and keeps any temporary effects like redness or swelling to a minimum. If you have any concerns after treatment, call us directly.
Don’t touch the area
Avoid rubbing, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated areas for the 
first 24 hours.
Stay upright
Stay upright for at least 4 hours after treatment to allow the product to settle correctly.
No strenuous exercise
Avoid intense physical activity, gym workouts, or heavy exertion for 24 hours after treatment.
Sun protection
Use a broad-spectrum SPF to protect the skin, particularly if there is any redness or sensitivity post-treatment.
Stay hydrated
Drink plenty of water in 
the days following treatment to support your skin’s recovery.
Avoid alcohol and blood thinners
Avoid alcohol and non-essential blood-thinning medications or supplements for 
24 hours unless medically prescribed.
IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS
Mild redness, tenderness, or swelling at the injection sites is normal and typically settles within a few hours. Bruising can occasionally occur and usually resolves within a few days.

If you notice anything unexpected or have any questions in the days following treatment, call us on 09 418 0743 or come in. We’d rather you reach out and put your mind at ease than sit with a concern.
Effects take ten to fourteen days to appear. If the effect doesn’t look quite right after two weeks, come back in and we’ll assess whether a small top-up is appropriate.

PUBLISHED STUDY
IncobotulinumtoxinA for upper facial lines, two Phase III randomised trials
Joseph J et al. | February 2025 | Two trials, ULTRA I (US) and ULTRA II (Germany)
Two randomised double-blind placebo-controlled Phase III studies assessed incobotulinumtoxinA for moderate-to-severe upper facial lines, with simultaneous treatment of glabellar frown lines, horizontal forehead lines, and lateral canthal lines. Outcomes were measured against placebo through a main treatment period. Longer-term safety and efficacy were assessed in open-label extension periods.
