Botox in Riyadh

What is Botox?

Botox is a substance used to temporarily relax specific muscles, reducing the movement of the muscles that cause expression lines.

Areas that can be treated

• Forehead Botox: reduces horizontal lines when raising the eyebrows
• Between the eyebrows: treats frown lines
• Around the eyes: reduces fine lines when smiling
• Gummy smile: reduces how much of the gums show when smiling
• Sweating: reduces excessive underarm sweating

How is a Botox session done?

• Assessment: examining the wrinkle areas and identifying the target muscles
• Planning: marking the appropriate injection points
• Injection: with very fine needles, over 10–20 minutes
• Instructions: you receive aftercare guidance

When do results appear and how long do they last?

Results begin within 3 to 5 days, become clearly visible within 10 to 14 days, and usually last 4 to 6 months, depending on the muscles and lifestyle.

Aftercare instructions

• Do not lie down for 4 hours after the session
• Avoid pressing on the injection areas
• Avoid strenuous exercise on the first day
• Avoid saunas and steam rooms
• Keep your follow-up appointment

Who is Botox suitable for?

• People with expression lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows, or around the eyes
• People who notice lines staying visible even when the face is relaxed
• People with excessive underarm sweating, after the doctor's assessment
• The right option for you is decided after assessing your face and muscle movement

• A previous allergy to Botox ingredients
• Certain nerve and muscle conditions or certain medications — discussed with the doctor before the session

Botox for men in Riyadh

Many men choose Botox to soften forehead and frown lines while keeping a natural look. The amount and injection points may differ for men because their facial muscles are often stronger; this is decided after assessment.

After the session: what is normal?

• Mild redness or small bumps at the injection points that usually fade within hours
• A small bruise where the needle went in
• A mild headache for some people on the first day

When should you see the doctor?

• Difficulty swallowing, speaking, or breathing — an emergency that needs immediate care
• Noticeable drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow
• Any change in vision
• Pain or swelling that gets worse instead of better

Who performs the session?

Botox sessions are performed in the Dermatology & Aesthetics department by Dr. Hind Mahmoud, after a facial assessment at your first visit. Meet our medical team.
