Botox
Botox can be discussed for selected dynamic facial lines, with planning focused on facial movement, individual features, and a natural-looking direction.

Individual assessmentBotox is non-surgical and generally involves little disruption to normal routine. Temporary injection-site effects can include mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or small bruises. As with any medical treatment, other effects are possible and depend on treatment area, injection technique, and individual response. Discuss medical history, medications, allergies, and any concerns before treatment, and seek medical advice promptly for an unexpected or concerning reaction.
A clear starting point
before you book.
Botox is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment used to temporarily reduce the appearance of dynamic facial lines caused by repeated muscle movement. At DermaSpot Clinic, treatment begins with an individual assessment of facial features, muscle movement, and aesthetic goals. The aim is not simply to reduce wrinkles, but to create a balanced, natural-looking result that respects facial expression and proportions.

- Masseter injections for lower-face slimming or sleep bruxism
- Gummy-smile correction
- Excessive sweating of the palms, soles, and underarms
- Selected scar-support discussions
- Other expression-related lines where Botox may be appropriate
How this treatment works
Botox contains botulinum toxin type A. When appropriately injected into selected muscles, it temporarily reduces the muscle activity responsible for certain dynamic facial lines. As the treated muscles gradually become less active, the appearance of movement-related lines can become softer. Botox does not permanently stop facial movement, and treatment should be individually planned to maintain a natural appearance.
Suitability starts
with context.
Botox may be suitable for adults concerned about dynamic facial lines who want a non-surgical option, but it is not the right treatment for every type of wrinkle or facial concern. During consultation, Dr. Maha assesses facial anatomy, muscle movement, skin condition, the areas that concern you, and your aesthetic goals to discuss whether Botox or another treatment may be more appropriate.

next?
Treatment starts with a consultation. Dr. Maha assesses facial features and relevant muscle movement, discusses the concern and the result you hope to achieve, then explains whether Botox is appropriate, which areas may benefit, what can reasonably be expected, and what to know before and after treatment. If the treatment is appropriate, carefully placed injections are performed in selected muscles during a clinic visit. The number of injections and amount used depend on the areas treated and the individual plan, followed by appropriate aftercare guidance. Dr. Maha personally performs Botox at the clinic; laser hair removal is the exception and is performed by the clinic’s qualified medical team.

Important expectations
before deciding.
Botox does not produce its full effect immediately; changes develop progressively after treatment and the final effect is assessed once the treatment has had time to take effect. Response varies with muscle activity, treatment area, and individual characteristics. The effects are temporary and, for many patients, typically last around three to four months, although this can vary between individuals and treatment areas. Further treatment can be discussed at follow-up based on individual response and goals.

Ask the clinic ↗The cost of Botox treatment depends on the areas treated and the amount required. Because every treatment plan is individual, the exact cost is discussed during consultation.
Request consultation details ↗Botox vs fillers
Botox and dermal fillers are different treatments used for different purposes. Some patients may benefit from one treatment, while others may be better suited to a combination approach. The appropriate option depends on facial anatomy, concerns, and treatment goals.
| Botox | Dermal fillers |
|---|---|
| Primarily affects muscle activity | Primarily adds volume or supports tissue |
| Commonly used for dynamic lines | Commonly used for volume loss, contouring and certain facial features |
| Does not add facial volume | Can restore or add volume |
| Temporary effect | Duration varies depending on the filler and treatment area |
Consultant-led careA personal plan,

Meet Dr. Maha FathyQuestions worth
asking.
These answers offer a starting point. A consultation gives you guidance that matches your individual concern.
Treatment time depends on the number and location of the areas treated. Your appointment includes the necessary assessment and treatment planning.
Botox works primarily on dynamic lines associated with muscle movement. The degree of improvement varies between individuals, and it is not designed to permanently remove every type of wrinkle.
The goal of appropriately planned Botox treatment is not to eliminate all facial expression. Treatment should be tailored to the individual and the desired outcome.
Because the effects are temporary, some patients choose further treatment when muscle activity and facial lines begin to return. The appropriate timing varies from person to person.
They are different treatments and may sometimes be used as part of the same aesthetic plan. Whether a combination is appropriate depends on the individual’s concerns and facial anatomy.
Botox is a medical treatment and should be administered following an appropriate medical assessment by a qualified healthcare professional. Potential risks and side effects should be discussed during consultation.
