‘Botox’ is the commonly used term to describe treatment which uses a purified protein produced by Botulinum Toxin Type A. We use several trusted brands including Azzalure®, Dysport®, BOTOX®, Vistabel®, and Bocouture®.
This treatment has been used in medicine for over 20 years with proven benefits beyond aesthetics. The toxin is licensed for various medical uses worldwide, including treatments for squints, muscle spasms, cerebral palsy, bladder instability, and chronic migraine. In aesthetic medicine, research has demonstrated psychological benefits including mood improvement by reducing frown lines and eye wrinkles, alongside visible improvements in facial appearance.
As we age, our skin creases in areas of repeated facial expression. The natural ageing process reduces the skin’s ability to repair itself, making lines more visible in areas of frequent movement. Botox is administered by injection at specific points on the face in extremely small amounts to relax the contraction of facial muscles.
By temporarily blocking nerve impulses to the facial muscles, the movement of the targeted muscle is reduced. This allows the skin to stop being creased, giving it time to recover, and the lines gradually soften over the following weeks.
Botox treatments are both an art and a science. This treatment should only be administered by medically qualified practitioners, as it is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that must be prescribed for individual patients following a full medical history consultation to determine if it is suitable and safe.
Dr Clare Quinn’s 14+ years of experience in aesthetic medicine means you’re in expert hands. If Clare believes that Botox is not the best option for you, she will advise about the many other treatments available at the clinic which may be more suitable to achieve the results you’re looking for.
While Botox treatment will relax muscles and improve wrinkles, we’re passionate about your long-term skin health. We’re happy to advise you about protective skincare so that further wrinkle development and skin ageing is slowed down. We have a collective pool of expertise
and treatments that many practitioners working alone cannot match.
We adopt a ‘less is more’ approach to achieve the most natural results while avoiding a ‘frozen’ appearance. Clare always reviews your treatment after two weeks and offers a complimentary top-up if required, ensuring you achieve your desired outcome.
Treatment is not painful. Most patients describe only minimal and brief discomfort, similar to a very small sting. Dr Clare Quinn uses a very fine needle and the entire treatment takes just 10-15 minutes. The injections themselves are quick, and any discomfort passes almost
immediately.
After your treatment, you should avoid touching the treated area, strenuous exercise, lying down flat, and alcohol for several hours. These precautions help ensure the product stays in the intended treatment area and you achieve optimal results. Dr Clare Quinn will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions during your appointment.
You’ll notice an improvement in treated areas within two weeks of your appointment. The effects develop gradually as the product takes effect, with full results visible by the two-week mark. This is when Dr Clare Quinn schedules your complimentary review appointment to
assess the results and provide a top-up if required.
Absolutely. Dr Clare Quinn specialises in natural-looking results. She adopts a ‘less is more’ approach specifically to avoid the ‘frozen’ appearance some people associate with Botox. The goal is to soften lines and refresh your appearance while maintaining natural facial expressions and movement. This is why Clare includes a two-week review – to fine-tune the results and ensure they look naturally beautiful.
Botox is most effective for treating forehead lines (horizontal lines across the forehead), frown lines (vertical lines between the eyebrows, also called “11 lines”), and crow’s feet (lines around the eyes). When carefully administered, it can also create a flattering brow lift. Dr Clare Quinn will assess which areas are most suitable for you during your consultation.
Yes, a consultation is essential and is provided before every treatment. Dr Clare Quinn conducts a full medical history consultation to ensure Botox is suitable and safe for you. This is a legal requirement as Botox is a prescription-only medicine that must be prescribed for individual patients. The consultation also allows Clare to understand your concerns, assess your needs, and recommend the best treatment approach.
Practitioners must be medically qualified to legally prescribe and administer this prescriptiononly medicine. Dr Clare Quinn is a GDC (General Dental Council) registered aesthetic dentist with over 14 years of experience in aesthetic medicine. Medical qualifications are essential because Botox requires proper medical assessment, prescription, and administration. Never have Botox administered by someone who is not medically qualified.
We use several trusted brands of botulinum toxin including Azzalure®, Dysport®, BOTOX®, Vistabel®, and Bocouture®. While ‘Botox’ is the commonly used term, these are all brands containing Botulinum Toxin Type A. They work in essentially the same way, and Dr Clare Quinn will select the most appropriate brand for your specific treatment needs. All brands we use are licensed and approved for aesthetic use.
Botulinum toxin is licensed for treating chronic migraine and has many medical uses beyond aesthetics. While our clinic specialises in aesthetic treatments, if you suffer from chronic migraines, Dr Clare Quinn can discuss whether this might be a suitable option during your consultation. The treatment has proven medical benefits for various conditions including migraines, muscle spasms, and other medical applications.

There’s no single “right age” to start Botox – it depends on your individual concerns and skin condition. Some people in their late 20s or early 30s use it preventatively to slow the formation of lines, while others start later to address existing wrinkles. During your consultation, Dr Clare Quinn will assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and recommend whether Botox is appropriate for you now or if other treatments might be more suitable at this stage.
With Dr Clare Quinn’s natural approach, people will notice you look refreshed and rested – not that you’ve had work done. The ‘less is more’ philosophy means maintaining natural facial expressions while softening lines. You’ll still be able to show emotion and expression; you’ll simply have smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Many patients find that people comment they look well-rested or wonder if they’ve been on holiday.

Absolutely. Dr Clare Quinn treats both male and female patients.

When administered by a qualified practitioner like Dr Clare Quinn, Botox is very safe with minimal side effects.

Botox is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding as a precautionary measure.

Your safety and wellbeing always come first.
Before your appointment, avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen for a few days if possible (check with your doctor first), don’t consume alcohol for 24 hours beforehand, and arrive with a clean face free of makeup. During your consultation, Dr Clare Quinn will provide comprehensive pre-treatment instructions tailored to your specific situation.
Botox has been used in aesthetic medicine for over 20 years. It’s one of the most researched and well-understood aesthetic treatments available, with an extensive safety record. Beyond aesthetics, botulinum toxin has many licensed medical uses worldwide and has been used to treat various medical conditions for decades.
Botox is most effective for dynamic wrinkles – those caused by facial movement and muscle contraction. For very deep, static wrinkles that are present even when your face is at rest, Botox may soften them but might not eliminate them completely. During your consultation, Dr Clare Quinn will honestly assess which concerns Botox can address and may recommend combining it with other treatments for optimal results.
No, most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment. The procedure takes just 10-15 minutes, and any redness or minor swelling typically resolves within a few hours. Many people schedule appointments during lunch breaks. Just avoid strenuous exercise, lying flat, and alcohol for several hours afterward.
Not at all. An increasing number of men are choosing Botox to maintain a refreshed,
professional appearance. Dr Clare Quinn has extensive experience treating male patients and
understands the differences in male facial anatomy, ensuring treatments preserve masculine
features while achieving natural results.
