Documented Outcomes

Before & After

Individual results vary. These represent documented clinical outcomes from AHPRA-registered practitioners.

Mechanism

Botulinum toxin type A blocks acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, temporarily preventing muscle contraction. The effect is localised to the injected muscle only — systemic spread at cosmetic doses is clinically negligible.

Expected Result

Smooth reduction of dynamic lines at full effect (day 7–14). Natural expression preserved with correct dosing. Forehead, frown, and crow's feet achieve 80–95% improvement in most patients. Results appear gradual, not sudden.

Duration

3–4 months for first-time patients. Repeat patients frequently extend to 5 months as muscle activity reduces with regular treatment. Masseter (jaw) treatments often last 6+ months.

Risk Disclosure

Mandatory pre-treatment information

Onset

Full effect at 7–14 days. Do not evaluate results before this window.

Duration

3–4 months average. First treatments may be shorter. Regular patients extend to 5 months.

Eyelid Heaviness

Occurs in 2–3% of forehead treatments. Typically resolves in 2–4 weeks. Risk reduced by skilled placement.

Bruising

10–15% of patients experience minor bruising at injection sites. Resolves in 5–7 days.

Asymmetry

Rare with experienced practitioners. Correctable with touch-up at 2-week review.

Not Recommended For

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, neuromuscular conditions, allergy to botulinum toxin components.
