Question 1

Can botulinum toxin help with migraines and tension headaches?

Accepted Answer

Botulinum toxin is an established medical option for some adults with chronic migraine. Small injections are placed across mapped points of the forehead, temples, scalp and neck, and are thought to interfere with the transmission of pain signals in the treated area.

This is a medical treatment, not a cosmetic one. At Dr Matla Aesthetics it begins with a full medical history — headache frequency, patterns, triggers and what you've already tried — so the doctor can advise honestly whether you're likely to benefit. Any improvement tends to build gradually over the weeks following treatment, and results vary between patients.

Question 2

Is Botox safe?

Accepted Answer

Safety depends on correct patient assessment, appropriate prescribing, precise injection technique, medical knowledge, and realistic treatment planning. Botox-type treatments should only be considered after a consultation with a qualified medical professional who can assess suitability and explain the possible risks and benefits. At Dr Matla Aesthetics Clinic, patient safety is prioritised through consultation, medical history review, facial assessment, and clear aftercare guidance. Not every patient is suitable — some medical conditions, medications, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or recent procedures may affect whether treatment can be performed. Patients are also advised about possible temporary redness, swelling, bruising, headache, asymmetry, or heaviness. A responsible clinic never promises guaranteed results.

Question 3

Who is suitable for Botox treatment?

Accepted Answer

Suitability depends on age, medical history, medications, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, facial anatomy, muscle movement, expectations, and the type of concern being treated. Not every patient is the right candidate for wrinkle relaxing treatment. At Dr Matla Aesthetics Clinic in Newcastle, every patient begins with a consultation. Patients with dynamic expression lines may be more suitable than patients whose concerns are mainly caused by deep skin laxity, volume loss, or significant sun damage — in those cases, a different or combined treatment plan may be advised.

Question 4

How does Botox work?

Accepted Answer

Botox-type treatments work by temporarily relaxing selected facial muscles that create repeated expression lines. When the targeted muscle movement is reduced, the overlying skin can appear smoother and less creased. The treatment is commonly considered for forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow's feet around the eyes. Results are not instant. Most patients notice gradual changes over several days, with the full effect usually developing after the treatment has settled. The effect is temporary, so maintenance appointments may be discussed if you want to continue results. At Dr Matla Aesthetics Clinic, the plan is based on your facial anatomy, muscle strength, and natural expression to avoid an over-treated look.
