Fifteen minutes, no downtime, and it wears off. Below is what it costs, what it does, and who it is not for.
These are the three areas botulinum toxin is approved to treat in New Zealand. We do not advertise or offer it for anything outside that list.
The horizontal lines that appear when you raise your brows, and increasingly stay put when you don't.
The vertical lines between the brows, often read by other people as anger or worry when you feel neither.
The lines fanning out from the outer corners of the eyes, most visible when you smile.
Prices shown are a starting point. Your dose depends on muscle strength, and the exact price is confirmed at your consultation before anything is drawn up.
Four steps, and the first one is free and separate from the treatment.
Free, and not the same appointment as treatment. We look at your face at rest and moving, and talk about what is realistic. Some people leave without booking anything.
Botulinum toxin is a prescription medicine. It is prescribed for you specifically, and administered by a registered nurse under a doctor issued standing order.
About fifteen minutes. A very fine needle, several small injections. Most people describe it as a sharp pinch rather than pain. No anaesthetic is needed.
You can drive and return to work. Stay upright for four hours and skip the gym, sauna and facials for twenty four. Movement softens over three to five days.
Every clinic in Auckland has this list. Most of them keep it off the page. Read it before you book, not in the chair.

Botulinum toxin injections have risks and benefits. Ask your doctor if botulinum toxin injections are right for you. For further information ask your doctor or go to www.medsafe.govt.nz. Treatments are administered by a registered nurse under a doctor issued standing order.
The ones people ask in the room, answered before you get there.
Not if the dose is right. The aim is less movement, not none. If you want to keep a lot of movement, say so at the consultation and we dose lower. It is easier to add more at a two week review than to wait out too much.
It depends on how strong the muscle is, not on how you look. Stronger muscles need more units. We work it out at the consultation and tell you the price before anything is drawn up.
A sharp pinch several times over about fifteen minutes. Most people are surprised how quick it is. No anaesthetic is used or needed.
It starts at three to five days and settles by around two weeks. It lasts three to four months for most people. Coming back before it has fully worn off tends to give a steadier result.
Yes, the appointment is about fifteen minutes and there is no downtime. Stay upright for four hours afterwards, so avoid a lie-down massage or a gym class straight after.

No obligation and no pressure to book on the day. We will tell you if we think you do not need it.
