Why Botox, and why now?
Expression lines are the first signs of ageing most people notice — a crease between the brows that stays a little longer each year, fine lines fanning out from the eyes, horizontal forehead lines. Early on these are dynamic lines: they appear only when the muscle moves. Left untreated for years, they gradually etch in and become static lines visible even at rest.
Botox works by relaxing the specific muscles responsible, so the skin above stops being folded repeatedly. Treated early, it is as much about prevention as correction — softening lines before they set. It is one of the most studied and predictable treatments in aesthetic medicine, with decades of safety data behind it.
The difference between a natural result and an over-done one comes down to dosing and placement — which is exactly why it should be done by a doctor who understands facial anatomy, not administered as a fixed 'package' at a salon.
What Botox can treat.
Forehead & Frown Lines
Horizontal forehead lines and the vertical '11' lines between the brows are the most common areas, softened for a smoother, less tired appearance.
Crow's Feet
The fine lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes when you smile, relaxed while keeping your smile natural.
Jawline Slimming
For an enlarged or square jaw caused by an overactive masseter muscle — often linked to teeth grinding — Botox can slim the lower face and ease clenching.
Excessive Sweating
Botox is a highly effective medical treatment for hyperhidrosis of the underarms, palms, or soles, reducing sweat for several months at a time.
How treatment works.
A consultation first assesses your facial movement and discusses what you want to achieve. The injections themselves take only about 10 to 15 minutes, using a very fine needle. Most patients describe it as a quick pinch; no numbing is usually needed.
There is no real downtime — you can return to your day straight away. You will be asked to stay upright and avoid rubbing the treated area, strenuous exercise, and lying down for about four hours afterwards, so the product settles where it was placed.
What to expect afterwards.
Botox does not work instantly. You will typically notice the muscles beginning to relax after 3 to 7 days, with the full effect at around two weeks. If a small adjustment is needed, it is made at a review.
The effect is temporary and wears off gradually over 3 to 4 months, at which point the treatment can be repeated. Many patients find that with regular treatment, the lines become progressively fainter over time, and some are able to space sessions further apart.

What patients say.
My experience has been very good. Dr. Kanchan ma'am treated me — she is the best dermatologist in the town.
Dr. Kanchan Srivastava is a very good dermatologist. Doctor behaviour is so curious and good.
She is the only skin specialist who has worked in England as a dermatologist and cosmetologist for over 10 years. Highly recommended.
