Following assessment, a treatment may or may not be recommended, depending on your clinical suitability.
Depending on your assessment, options that may be discussed include:
Any potential use of prescription-only medicines, such as Botox, is discussed only following clinical assessment.
Botulinum toxin A is a prescription-only medicine used in medical practice. It works by temporarily reducing muscle activity through the interruption of nerve signals to targeted muscles.
It may be considered for areas where overactive facial muscles contribute to dynamic lines, such as the forehead, frown area, and around the eyes. Suitability for treatment in any area is determined on an individual clinical basis following detailed assessment.
In certain cases, it may also be considered in the lower face or neck where excessive muscle activity contributes to concerns such as jawline tension, downward pull at the corners of the mouth, or visible neck banding. Not all concerns are muscle-related, and alternative or combination treatments may sometimes be more appropriate.
The effects are temporary. Initial changes are typically observed within several days, with full effect usually seen at approximately two weeks. Muscle activity gradually returns over time.
Prescription-only medicines can only be supplied following a face-to-face consultation and medical assessment. This website is intended for information only and does not promote or advertise prescription-only medicines.

Assessment of lines and wrinkles in the upper and lower face, and personalised treatment options
The consultation will help determine the best options for your facial ageing and skin concerns. One of our Nurse Prescribers will review your history and goals and provide a balanced discussion of possible approaches, including non-prescription treatments.
Anti-wrinkle treatment using a prescription-only botulinum toxin involves minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for patients with busy lifestyles.
Immediately following treatment, you may notice small raised areas at the injection sites. These typically settle within 20–30 minutes. Mild redness, slight tenderness, or occasional pinpoint bruising can occur, but most patients return to normal daily activities straight away.
If you’re unsure where to start, don’t worry, simply get in touch with BU Aesthetics™ or book a consultation with Caroline. She’ll assess your medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals, and develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
