PERSONALISED CONSULTATION | From $15.80 per unit
HOW IT WORKS
A GENTLE APPROACH TO EXPRESSION LINES.
Every smile, frown and raised eyebrow contributes to the natural movement of your face. Over time, these repeated movements can create fine lines and wrinkles.
BOTOX® contains a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, which works by temporarily reducing the nerve signals that cause targeted facial muscles to contract. As these muscles relax, the appearance of expression lines can soften, particularly around the eyes, forehead and between the eyebrows.
Gina takes the time to understand your concerns and assess your facial movements before recommending a personalised treatment approach, with careful consideration for your natural expressions.
At The Treatment Clinic in Mount Maunganui every treatment is selected and tailored on the day to ensure the treatment is appropriate for your skin.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Botox® FAQ
Considering Botox® for the first time, or simply looking to understand more about the treatment?
We've answered some of the most common questions to help you feel informed and confident about your options.
-
Botox® is a refined form of a neurotoxin derived from bacteria, specifically Clostridium. It works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles where it is injected, preventing them from contracting. This temporary weakening or paralysis of the muscles leads to a reduction in visible facial wrinkles and lines, offering a smoother appearance.
-
Primarily, Botox® is used to mitigate the signs of aging by smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines that emerge from common facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, or laughing. It is an effective solution for those seeking to maintain a youthful appearance without the need for invasive surgical procedures.
-
Almost anyone desiring to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, or other minor facial imperfections may be a suitable candidate for Botox®, except for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological conditions. Botox® can also serve as a preventative measure against the formation of deep lines, making it a popular choice among younger individuals.
-
One of the advantages of Botox® is its minimal recovery time, allowing patients to quickly resume their daily activities. Unlike more invasive facial treatments, Botox® requires no significant downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
You may experience some temporary redness, swelling or bruising around the injection sites. Following treatment, it's important to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas. Gina's previous guidance also recommends avoiding strenuous exercise for at least two hours.
Gina will explain what to expect as your results develop and provide aftercare advice tailored to your treatment. -
The discomfort associated with Botox® injections is generally minimal, as the needles used are very fine, similar to those used by diabetics for insulin injections. Additionally, numbing agents such as lidocaine may be used to enhance patient comfort during the procedure.
-
The duration of the effects of Botox® varies, with the average being around four months. However, the frequency of treatments can be adjusted according to personal preference and the desired outcome, allowing for a more natural appearance by letting the effects diminish slightly between sessions.
-
Botox® treatments at The Treatment Clinic start at $15.80 per unit, including GST. Forehead treatments start from $94.80, frown lines from $316 and crow’s feet from $189.60.
The number of units required varies depending on your individual needs and treatment areas. Gina will discuss your recommended treatment and total cost during your consultation. -
Starting Botox® treatments before the appearance of deep lines or wrinkles can be a preventative strategy to maintain a youthful appearance. However, the necessity and desirability of such an approach vary, with some professionals advising a more natural look by retaining some facial lines.
-
Discontinuing Botox® treatments will simply allow the previously treated lines and wrinkles to gradually return, often more slowly than if no treatment had been received. There is no risk of the lines worsening as a result of stopping treatment.
-
During the procedure, a practitioner will inject small amounts of Botox® into targeted muscles, temporarily relaxing them to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. The process is quick and requires no downtime, allowing patients to immediately return to their normal activities.
-
The goal of Botox® treatment is to achieve a natural look by carefully targeting specific muscles, without impacting the ability to express emotions or the sensation in the treated areas.
-
Post-treatment, it's important to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas to prevent the Botox® from spreading to unintended muscles. Additionally, strenuous physical activity should be avoided for at least two hours following the procedure.
-
While most side effects are mild and temporary, such as swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site, more serious side effects are extremely rare. The safety and efficacy of Botox® are well-documented, with millions of successful treatments performed annually. For details on precautions & side effects consult your healthcare professional or the Consumer Medicine Information (CMI) at www.medsafe.govt.nz.
