Is Botox safe?

Skin

Long-term follow-up data extends over 30+ years of use, with no evidence of cumulative harm in patients receiving repeated treatment over decades. The treatment is reversible — stopping it returns muscle function to its natural state. Safety depends heavily on qualified prescriber assessment and anatomically-aware injection, which is why DWL only uses GDC-registered, aesthetically-trained clinicians.

How long does Botox last?

Skin

Typically 3-4 months for upper-face treatment and 4-6 months for masseter (jaw) treatment. Duration depends on individual metabolism, the dose used, and the area treated. Consistent maintenance over time can extend the effect for some patients, up to around 6 months.

What happens at an anti-wrinkle consultation at Dental & Wellness London?

At DWL, treatment is provided by GDC-registered dentists with formal aesthetic medicine training, in line with JCCP recommendations.
