At Finesse Skin Clinic, based near Gloucester, we offer botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox®) injections, one of the most effective anti-wrinkle treatments. As a prescription-only medication in the UK, Botox® injections can only be prescribed by a qualified doctor, dentist, or Independent Prescriber following a thorough consultation. This ensures your safety and that the treatment is appropriate for your needs.
Botulinum toxin, often referred to as Botox®, is a well-known brand, but there are also two other leading brands, Bocouture® and Azzalure®. At Finesse Skin Clinic, located conveniently between Stroud and Gloucester, we choose to offer either Botox® or Bocouture® for your anti-wrinkle treatment to help you achieve a smoother, more youthful complexion.
Botox® is widely recognised as a highly effective anti-wrinkle treatment for temporarily reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It works by relaxing the facial muscles responsible for expression lines, allowing your skin to appear smoother and more refreshed. While Botox® can significantly soften the appearance of deep wrinkles, repeated treatments may further improve their overall appearance.
Botox® treatments are quick, safe, and offer natural-looking results without the need for surgery.

When carefully injected into the muscles responsible for expression lines it partially immobilises them allowing the skin to smooth out reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Using botulinum toxin or Botox® is a very safe and effective way of reducing dynamic wrinkles on your face. Like any medical procedure it carries potential risks and complications which are minimised by using an appropriate practitioner to carry out the procedure. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) approved Botulinum Toxin A for combination treatment of upper facial lines as research found the product to be safe and effective.
Ultra fine needles are used for your Botulinum Toxin (Botox®) treatment so pain is minimal. The area can be numbed with a cold pack or a topical anaesthetic can also be applied 20-30 minutes prior to treatment to make it more comfortable.
You may notice results starting to take effect between 4 to 7 days but we suggest you allow a full two weeks before any adjustment is considered.
Movement will gradually start to return from six weeks and you will regain your muscle activity around 3-4 months later. With repeated administration, at regular intervals, you may not regain full muscle activity for 5-6 months .
After around 3-4 months you will gradually start to notice the areas that have been treated by Botox® will return to their pre-Botox® look.
No – Having Botox® doesn’t worsen wrinkles. If you feel they look more pronounced once the treatment has worn off then it will most likely be that you have become used to your face looking smoother.
A treatment takes around 15 minutes to complete. There may be some slight swelling immediately after treatment but this should settle within the hour. There is also minimal risk of bruising.
