Consultation & Assessment
All botulinum treatments begin with consultation. Your clinician will assess facial movement, muscle strength and medical history to determine whether treatment is appropriate.
Botulinum Treatments
COSMETIC MEDICINE
Prescription treatment delivered following structured clinical assessment.
Botulinum treatments — commonly referred to as anti-wrinkle injections or by brand names such as Botox and Dysport — are prescription-only medicines used to temporarily reduce targeted muscle activity.
When delivered appropriately, they may soften dynamic lines and support balanced facial movement.
At Sunny Aesthetics, botulinum treatment is provided within a structured consultation framework to ensure suitability and proportionate outcomes.
cosmetic MEDICINE
Understanding Botulinum Treatment
Dynamic lines develop over time due to repeated facial muscle movement. Botulinum works by temporarily relaxing selected muscles to reduce the appearance of these lines.
Treatment planning is guided by facial balance, muscle strength and individual goals. The objective is not to eliminate expression, but to soften movement in a way that remains natural and appropriate.
Dosage and treatment areas are individualised following clinical assessment. Prescription products used in our clinic may include Dysport and other clinically approved formulations selected according to suitability.

The Treatment
Botulinum is administered using small injections into selected muscle groups. The procedure is typically brief and performed in a medical clinic environment.
Onset of Effect

Duration & Review
Results typically last several months depending on the individual and treatment area. Follow-up review may be recommended to assess response and guide future treatment planning.
PATIENT GUIDE
Common Questions
Will botulinum treatment make my face look frozen?
When appropriately dosed and carefully planned, botulinum treatment is designed to soften lines while preserving natural facial movement. Treatment at Sunny Aesthetics is guided by facial balance and proportion rather than eliminating expression.
Does botulinum treatment hurt?
The injections are performed using very fine needles and most patients find the treatment very tolerable. The procedure itself is typically brief.
When will I see results?
Results usually begin to appear within several days, with full effect developing over approximately 1–2 weeks.
How long do botulinum results last?
Duration varies between individuals and treatment areas. Many patients notice results lasting around three to four months, although this can vary.
How long does the appointment take?
The treatment itself is usually quick. Most appointments take around 15–30 minutes, including consultation and treatment planning.
What should I avoid after treatment?
You may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise, rubbing the treated area, or lying flat for several hours after treatment. Specific aftercare instructions will be provided following your appointment.
How much does botulinum treatment cost?
Pricing varies depending on the treatment area and dosage required. A personalised treatment plan and pricing will be discussed during consultation.
Why is a consultation required before botulinum treatment?
Botulinum treatments involve prescription-only medicines. A consultation allows the practitioner to assess suitability, review medical history and determine whether treatment is appropriate before any prescription is provided.
