Botox® and Dysport® treatments are designed to help soften the appearance of expression lines while supporting a smoother, refreshed, and natural-looking appearance with minimal downtime.
Before your Botulinum toxin appointment at Bradford Skin Clinic, you may be advised to avoid blood‑thinning medications like Aspirin or Ibuprofen to help reduce the chance of bruising. Arriving with a clean, makeup‑free face allows your practitioner to assess the treatment areas more accurately. During your consultation, you’ll review your medical history, discuss your goals, and go over what to expect from the procedure. If you’re sensitive to injections, you can request a numbing cream to make the experience more comfortable
After your Botulinum toxin treatment at Bradford Skin Clinic, you may notice mild redness or swelling around the injection sites, which typically settles within a few hours to a couple of days. It’s best to avoid strenuous exercise, lying down immediately afterward, or touching the treated areas to ensure the product settles properly.
Results begin to appear over the next few days, with full effects usually visible around the two‑week mark. You can return to your normal routine quickly, and your practitioner will provide any specific aftercare guidance to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
During a 15-minute consultation, Alex will ask you to share why you came to the clinic, as well as possible treatment and product options with you. We will make sure that you feel comfortable asking any questions you have to provide the information you need to know to make an informed decision. Alex will tell you about the positive and negative outcomes of the treatment, including any side effects. You can choose to have a treatment directly after your consultation or book another appointment for your treatment. The consultation is completely free; you will only be charged you’re your treatments.
Typically, clients do not experience any issues that require medical attention after receiving injections. However, if you experience difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing or blanching of the skin (a pale appearance which may indicate problems with blood flow), please contact a doctor.
Aging, repetitive facial expressions, sun exposure, smoking and environmental pollution are the most common causes of wrinkles.
Botox® and Dysport® treatment results typically last between three to six months.
You should meet with a nurse / cosmetic injector for a comprehensive consultation. They will thoroughly inspect you, and the best treatment options will be suggested based on your goals and needs.
Botox® and Dysport® are both made of botulinum toxin A. They are effective because they weaken the muscle they are targeting. Comparatively, they achieve the same results. Botox® usually takes a few days to a week to show real results (visible changes) while changes from Dysport® may appear sooner in some people. Typically, results from both treatments last the same amount of time (between three to six months).
Botox® is a toxin that works by temporarily weakening/paralyzing a muscle; this process helps to smooth the wrinkle caused by the muscle movement. Fillers work differently. They are meant to make areas appear full or plump where skin had started to appear thin or sagging.
It depends on the kind of filler used, some last for 6 months, and others for one year. Your injector will be able to give you an answer based on the filler you get injected.

Before Botox® or Dysport® treatment, a personalized consultation is typically recommended to review facial anatomy, treatment goals, medical history, and overall suitability for treatment.
Patients may be advised to avoid certain medications, supplements, alcohol, or blood-thinning products prior to treatment depending on individual medical history and treatment planning.
Any recent treatments, skin irritation, or previous injectable history should also be discussed before treatment.
