💉 How Botox Really Works – And Why It’s More Than Just a Wrinkle Treatment

When most people think of Botox, they picture smoother skin and fewer wrinkles — but the science behind this treatment goes far beyond just softening expression lines.
At Tres Beaux Aesthetics in Birmingham, Botox is one of our most popular and trusted treatments for clients wanting subtle, natural rejuvenation while still looking like themselves.

Let’s break down how it really works and why it’s a safe, medically proven way to restore a fresh, youthful appearance.

🩵 What Is Botox?

Botox is a purified protein that works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles.
When injected precisely, it stops the constant muscle contractions that cause lines and wrinkles — like frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases — to form.

Over time, repeated facial movements etch lines into the skin. Botox simply gives those muscles a short “rest,” allowing the skin to smooth out while preventing deeper lines from developing.

🌸 It’s Not About Freezing — It’s About Refining

A common misconception is that Botox “freezes” your face. When performed correctly by a skilled practitioner, that’s absolutely not the case.

At Tres Beaux Aesthetics, every treatment is personalised to your unique facial structure and expressions.
We use advanced techniques to soften and lift — not freeze. The result?
✨ Refreshed, smoother skin
✨ Natural facial movement
✨ A more youthful but still “you” appearance

💫 Where Botox Works Best

Botox can be used to treat:

• Forehead lines

• Frown lines (the “11s”)

• Crow’s feet

• Bunny lines on the nose

• Chin dimpling

• Jawline slimming and neck lift (Nefertiti lift)

• Lip flip for subtle enhancement

It can also be used medically for migraines, jaw clenching (TMJ), and excess sweating (hyperhidrosis).

🩺 Safe, Nurse-Led Treatment

At Tres Beaux Aesthetics, every Botox treatment is carried out by a registered prescribing nurse with over 20 years of clinical experience.
This means you’re in safe, professional hands with the knowledge to assess, prescribe, and administer treatment safely and ethically.

Before any injections, you’ll have a full consultation to assess your goals, medical history, and facial anatomy — ensuring a bespoke plan that achieves the best results for you.

🌿 When Will I See Results?

Results begin to appear after 5–10 days, with full effects visible around 2 weeks post-treatment.
Your smoother, more youthful look typically lasts 3–4 months, depending on your lifestyle and individual muscle strength.

Regular maintenance keeps results consistent and can actually help slow future wrinkle formation — meaning the more you maintain, the better your skin looks long term.
