The cost of Botox in Dubai varies depending on the number of areas treated and the amount of product required. At Estelaza Clinic, we provide transparent pricing during your consultation. Generally, Botox is priced per unit or per area. Factors affecting cost include the treatment zones, your individual anatomy, and the expertise of your injector. We offer competitive pricing that reflects our use of genuine products and experienced practitioners.

Yes, Botox is safe for long-term use when administered by qualified professionals. The treatment has been used for cosmetic purposes for over 30 years with an excellent safety profile. Regular Botox treatments don’t cause cumulative damage or harm to your facial muscles or skin. In fact, some studies suggest that long-term use may provide preventive benefits by training muscles to contract less forcefully, potentially reducing the formation of deeper wrinkles over time.

Botox results typically last 3 to 4 months, though individual experiences vary. Factors affecting longevity include your metabolism, the strength of the treated muscles, the areas injected, and your lifestyle. Some patients find their results last longer with repeated treatments as muscles become conditioned to relax. To maintain consistent results, most patients schedule follow-up appointments every 3 to 4 months.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during Botox injections. The needles used are very fine, and the injection process is quick. Many people describe the sensation as a small pinch or pressure. If you’re concerned about discomfort, we can apply a topical numbing cream before treatment or use ice to minimize sensation. The brief discomfort is generally well-tolerated, and most patients find it much easier than anticipated.

You’ll begin noticing results from Botox within 3 to 5 days after treatment, with full effects visible at the two-week mark. The timeline varies slightly among individuals, with some people seeing changes sooner and others taking a bit longer to reach peak results. We typically schedule a follow-up appointment two weeks after your initial treatment to assess your results and make any necessary adjustments.

Botox is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Although there’s limited research on the effects of Botox during pregnancy, medical professionals advise against elective cosmetic procedures during this time as a precaution. If you’re pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, it’s best to postpone Botox treatment until after this period.

Both Botox and Dysport contain botulinum toxin type A and work similarly to relax muscles and reduce wrinkles. The main differences lie in their formulation and diffusion properties. Dysport tends to spread more than Botox, which can be advantageous for treating larger areas but requires precise injection technique in smaller areas. Some patients experience faster results with Dysport (2-3 days vs 3-5 days). During your consultation, we’ll recommend the most appropriate option for your specific needs.

When performed by experienced, qualified practitioners using proper techniques, complications from Botox are rare. However, potential issues can include temporary drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow, asymmetry, or an unnatural appearance if too much product is used. These effects are temporary and resolve as the Botox wears off. At Estelaza Clinic, we minimize risks through expert administration, conservative dosing, and thorough understanding of facial anatomy.

Most patients benefit from Botox treatments every 3 to 4 months to maintain consistent results. However, the ideal frequency varies by individual. Some people find their results last longer and can extend time between treatments, while others with stronger muscles may need more frequent appointments. We’ll work with you to establish a maintenance schedule that keeps you looking your best while fitting your lifestyle and budget.

It’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours after Botox treatment. Physical activity increases blood flow, which can potentially cause the Botox to migrate from the intended treatment areas or increase bruising and swelling. Light activities like walking are generally fine, but hold off on intense workouts, yoga, or activities that involve bending over or inverting your head until the next day.

When administered correctly with appropriate amounts, Botox should not make your face look frozen. The goal is to soften wrinkles while preserving natural facial expressions and movement. At Estelaza Clinic, we use conservative dosing and strategic injection techniques to ensure you maintain the ability to show emotion and expression. The “frozen” look typically results from over-treatment or improper injection technique, which we carefully avoid.

Yes, Botox is FDA-approved for treating hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), particularly in the underarms. The treatment works by blocking the chemical signals that stimulate sweat glands, significantly reducing perspiration in treated areas. Results typically last 6 to 12 months, often longer than cosmetic Botox applications. Many Dubai residents find this treatment life-changing, especially given the warm climate. We also treat excessive sweating in the palms, feet, and other areas.

There’s no single “best” age to start Botox, as it depends on your individual concerns and goals. Many people begin in their late 20s or early 30s as a preventive measure, while others wait until lines become more noticeable in their 40s or 50s. The ideal time to start is when you notice lines that bother you or when you want to prevent deeper wrinkles from forming. During your consultation, we’ll assess your needs and discuss whether Botox is appropriate for you at this stage.
