What to Expect at Your Botox Appointment
Consultation – included with every treatment Shelley will review your medical history, discuss any medications you are taking and assess the areas you want to treat. Botox is a prescription medicine — this step is not optional and is not skipped at SF Aesthetics. If Botox is not right for you, she will tell you honestly.
The treatment – 30 minutes Once prescribed and agreed, Shelley injects small amounts of botulinum toxin into the targeted muscles using a very fine needle. Most clients describe it as a mild pinching sensation. The appointment takes around 30 minutes from start to finish.
Immediately after You can return to normal activities straight away. Avoid lying flat or bending down for four hours, avoid makeup for six hours, and avoid alcohol, aspirin and strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
When you will see results Results begin to appear within three to five days and are fully visible after around two weeks. A complimentary two-week review is included with every treatment.
How long Botox lasts Most clients find results last between three and four months. Regular treatment over time can help prevent deeper lines forming.

Frequently Asked Questions About Botox in Wigan
How much should you pay for Botox in the UK?
In the UK, Botox typically costs between £150 and £350 per area depending on the clinic, the practitioner’s qualifications and the product used. At SF Aesthetics in Wigan, anti-wrinkle injections start at £160 for one area and £260 for three areas, administered by Shelley Frost, a qualified nurse prescriber. Be cautious of prices significantly below this, cheap Botox often means unregulated products or unqualified practitioners.
Is 40 too late to start Botox?
No! 40 is not too late for Botox. Many clients start in their 40s and see excellent results. At this stage Botox softens established lines and prevents deeper ones from forming. Shelley will assess your skin and recommend the right treatment and dosage for your age and concerns at your consultation.
What does Botox look like after 10 years?
With regular, well-administered Botox over 10 years, most clients look naturally refreshed rather than obviously treated. The key is conservative dosing and maintaining natural movement. Clients who have had Botox consistently over many years typically show fewer deep-set lines than those who have not, without looking frozen or overdone.
What is the rule of 3 in Botox?
The rule of 3 refers to the three main treatment areas most commonly addressed together – the forehead, frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet around the eyes. Treating all three creates a balanced, natural result. At SF Aesthetics, a 3-area treatment costs £260 and is the most popular package for clients wanting an overall facial refresh.
How often should a 45 year old get Botox?
Most clients in their mid-40s find that Botox lasts between three and four months, meaning three to four treatments per year is typical. At 45, metabolism and muscle activity can affect longevity — Shelley will advise on the right interval for you at your two-week review.
What is the 4-hour rule for Botox?
The 4-hour rule means you should avoid lying flat or bending down for at least four hours after your Botox treatment. This helps prevent the toxin from migrating away from the treated area before it has fully settled. You should also avoid touching the treated area, strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 hours.
How long does Botox take to work?
Botox typically begins to take effect within three to five days of treatment. Full results are visible after approximately two weeks. If the results are not quite right after two weeks, contact SF Aesthetics to arrange a complimentary review, included with every treatment.
How long does Botox last?
At SF Aesthetics, most clients find their Botox results last between three and four months. This varies depending on the area treated, your metabolism, lifestyle and how active the muscles are. Regular treatment over time can help results last slightly longer.
Does Botox hurt?
Most clients describe Botox as feeling like a mild scratch or slight pressure — not painful. The needles used are very fine and the procedure takes around 30 minutes from start to finish. No numbing cream is typically required, though Shelley can apply one if you are particularly sensitive.
What not to do after Botox?
For 24 hours after Botox you should avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, strenuous exercise, lying flat and touching the treated area. Avoid extreme heat including saunas, hot yoga and sunbeds for 48 hours. Do not have any facial treatments or massages for two weeks. Shelley provides full written aftercare instructions at every appointment.
