Since Botox
(more specifically botulinum toxin) is a prescription medication, it can only be purchased and dispensed by a doctor or nurse prescriber. It is generally considered best practice to also only have treatment in a clinical setting performed by a medically trained professional. The reason for this is that whilst Botulinum toxin injections have been successfully and safely used for cosmetic purposes for many years, there are still possible side effects and complications which are minimised in the hands of a medical professional. As such, the cost of Botoxtreatments in London reflects this.
The majority of anti-wrinkle injections usually start around £200 per area and depend on where the clinic is located, the specific treatment (ie Botoxfor face wrinkles compared with excess sweating or neck lifting) and if performed by a Doctor. It is also worth bearing in mind that not everyone uses Botoxand they may use other brands of botulinum toxin such as Dysport (Azzalure) or Bocoutureso its best to ask specifically.
