Reduce your calf size, your headaches, and your excessive sweating
Botulinum Toxin treatment, otherwise known as Botox, can address a variety of cosmetic and medical issues concerning the body. Cosmetically, it is widely used to reduce calf size. Medically, Botox can treat chronic migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and teeth grinding (bruxism) as well as help manage conditions such as lazy eye (strabismus) and uncontrollable blinking (blepharospasm). If you’re looking to control any of the above conditions, or slim your calves, Botox may be your safest and most effective option.

Your Elevate Experience
Step One
Your Consultation
Our clinician will review your medical history to ensure you’re a suitable candidate for the procedure. They will then discuss your goals, the treatment process, side effects and any specific areas of concern with you, as well as examine you.
Step Two
Treatment Plan
A fine needle is used to inject small amounts of Botox into specific muscles. This process usually involves multiple injections, depending on the treatment area and the desired results. The entire procedure typically lasts between 20 to 30 minutes.
Step Three
Aftercare
You might be advised to avoid lying down or bending over for at least 4 hours to prevent the substance from spreading to unintended areas. Exercising and strenuous activities should be avoided for 24 hours post-treatment.

FAQS
Botox treatment works by temporarily paralysing muscles. The toxin blocks nerve signals that cause muscles to contract, leading to reduced sweat in the case of hyperhidrosis, less grinding in the case of bruxism, fewer migraines, or slimmer calves. The effects typically last for 3 to 6 months, after which the muscles gradually regain their function, and your original symptoms may reappear.
For calf slimming, injections are made directly into the calf muscles. To address teeth grinding (bruxism), Botox is injected into the masseter muscles along the jawline. For hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, the Botox treatment typically targets the underarms, palms, or soles of the feet. Migraine sufferers receive injections in specific points around the head and neck, including the forehead, temples, and back of the head.
The number of Botox treatment sessions you will need depends on various factors such as the area being treated, your individual goals, and how your body responds to the injections. Generally, Botox effects last between 3 to 4 months, so most patients opt for follow-up treatments to maintain their results. Regular follow-ups will help in achieving and maintaining the desired outcomes effectively.
It’s an injection, like any other injection, so generally, the discomfort experienced during Botox injections is minimal. Patients often report feeling a slight pinch or sting at the injection site, similar to a mosquito bite. Topical anesthetics or ice can be applied beforehand to numb the area and minimise discomfort.
Results from Botox treatment can be seen within 2 to 4 days after the procedure, with full effects usually visible within 2 weeks. The duration of these results generally lasts between 3 to 4 months. Regular treatments are often recommended to maintain the desired results.
Botox treatment is generally available for adults, however, not everyone is an ideal candidate. Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as neuromuscular disorders, allergies to botulinum toxin, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, should avoid Botox. We’ll assess your suitability during your consultation with us.
