At Rescued by Aesthetics, we offer expert botulinum toxin treatments to help you achieve a refreshed and youthful appearance. Whether you're looking to smooth fine lines or prevent wrinkles, botulinum toxin is a highly effective and widely used aesthetic treatment in the UK.
What is Botulinum Toxin?
Botulinum toxin is a purified neurotoxin protein that temporarily relaxes facial muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and preventing new lines from forming. It is a non-invasive, quick, and effective treatment that provides natural-looking results when administered by a skilled professional.
Common Brands Used in the UK
There are several trusted brands of botulinum toxin available in the UK, including:
Botox® – The most well-known brand, produced by Allergan.
Azzalure® – A botulinum toxin product often used for aesthetic treatments.
Bocouture® – Known for being a highly purified formulation.
Dysport® – Another effective brand used for wrinkle reduction and medical treatments.
Xeomin® – A botulinum toxin with a formulation free from complexing proteins.
How Does Botulinum Toxin Work?
Botulinum toxin blocks nerve signals to the targeted muscles, temporarily preventing them from contracting. This relaxation smooths the overlying skin, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles such as:
Frown lines (glabellar lines)
Forehead wrinkles
Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)
Gummy smile reduction
Jawline slimming and facial contouring
How Often Should You Get Botulinum Toxin?
The effects of botulinum toxin typically last 3 to 6 months. For optimal, long-lasting results, treatments should be repeated every 3 to 4 months, depending on individual response, muscle activity, and personal goals.
What Should You Avoid to Make It Last Longer?
To extend the longevity of your botulinum toxin results, consider the following aftercare tips:
Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours.
Stay upright for at least 4 hours after treatment.
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours.
Minimise alcohol and excessive caffeine consumption.
Reduce sun exposure and always use SPF to protect your skin.
Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy skincare routine.
Who Can and Cannot Have Botulinum Toxin?

Adults seeking wrinkle reduction or facial contouring.
Individuals looking for a non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime.
Those who wish to prevent fine lines from developing.
