Botox in Dubai

Botox in Dubai is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that relaxes targeted facial muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles and refresh facial appearance. At The Nova Clinic, a leading aesthetic clinic, Botox treatments are delivered through carefully placed injections administered by DHA-licensed medical professionals using precise, personalized dosing.

Designed for controlled wrinkle reduction rather than volume enhancement, Botox offers temporary, reversible results with no downtime. It is widely used for facial rejuvenation and, when clinically appropriate, for selected therapeutic applications under medical supervision.

What is Botox?

Botox is a non-surgical aesthetic injectable and neuromodulator derived from Clostridium botulinum Type A. Botox treatment is delivered through targeted injections that temporarily block nerve signals to overactive muscles, preventing repetitive contractions that cause expression lines and wrinkles.

Initially developed for medical use, Botox has become one of the most widely performed aesthetic medicine treatments worldwide. When administered in a licensed aesthetic clinic, Botox provides predictable wrinkle reduction with results typically lasting between 3 and 6 months.

Compared to other neuromodulators such as Dysport and Xeomin, Botox is known for its controlled diffusion and consistency, making it suitable for both cosmetic facial treatments and approved medical indications.

Target Areas for Botox Injections

At The Nova Clinic, Botox injections are primarily used for facial aesthetic treatments, with dosing customized to preserve natural expressions.

Forehead Lines – Smooths horizontal wrinkles for a youthful look.
Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines) – Reduces vertical lines between the eyebrows.
Crow’s Feet – Softens fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes.
Bunny Lines – Minimizes wrinkles on the nose bridge when smiling.
Eyebrow Lift – Elevates brows for a refreshed, open-eyed appearance.
Lip Flip – Enhances the upper lip for a fuller, natural pout.
Chin Dimples – Softens an overly dimpled or “pebbled” chin.
Neck Bands (Platysmal Bands) – Reduces vertical necklines for a smoother look.

How Are Botox Injections Administered?

Botox injections at The Nova Clinic are performed in a licensed aesthetic clinic environment under Dubai Health Authority regulations.

Muscle Mapping and Assessment: The specialist evaluates your facial or body muscles to identify overactive areas. A customized injection plan is created based on your goals and medical needs.
Targeted Delivery: Using ultra-fine needles, Botox is precisely injected into the chosen muscles or glands. This temporarily blocks nerve signals, preventing involuntary movement or overactivity.
Neuromuscular Blockade: Once injected, Botox binds to nerve endings, halting the release of acetylcholine. This prevents muscle contractions or gland stimulation in the treated area.
Gradual Onset of Effects: Results begin to appear within 3 to 5 days, with full effects visible by two weeks. Treated muscles relax, reducing wrinkles, spasms, sweating, or other symptoms.
Temporary and Reversible Action: Botox effects last 3 to 6 months, after which normal nerve activity gradually returns. Follow-up treatments help maintain results without permanent changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Helping with answers to make you feel at ease

How Much Does Botox Cost in Dubai?

The cost of Botox in Dubai varies based on the number of units required, treatment areas, and injector expertise. At The Nova Clinic, pricing is determined by:

Facial muscle strength and activity
Number of areas treated
Units required for balanced, natural results
Whether treatment is aesthetic or therapeutic

A personalized cost estimate is provided during consultation.

What should I do before getting Botox?

Avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medications, and excessive sun exposure for a few days to reduce bruising. Stay hydrated and well-rested for optimal results. A consultation ensures the treatment plan aligns with your aesthetic goals, delivering natural-looking, refreshed skin without unnecessary complications.

What should I do after getting Botox?

Refrain from rubbing or massaging the treated area, intense workouts, and lying down for a few hours. Stay hydrated and protect your skin from excessive heat. Following these guidelines helps Botox settle properly, ensuring long-lasting, beautifully refined results with minimal downtime.

Does Botox have side effects?

Mild redness, swelling, or temporary bruising may occur but fade quickly. In rare cases, minor asymmetry or temporary drooping can happen but is correctable. When administered by skilled professionals, Botox remains a safe, effective, and widely trusted aesthetic treatment.

What Botox brands are used at The Nova Clinic?

At The Nova Clinic, we use FDA-approved neuromodulators, including Botox® by Allergan and Dysport®, depending on individual treatment needs. The choice of product is determined during consultation based on facial anatomy, muscle activity, treatment area, and desired outcome, ensuring safe, precise, and natural-looking results.

Is Botox safe and FDA-approved?

Yes, Botox injections are FDA-approved and widely used for cosmetic and medical treatments. When administered by a qualified professional, Botox is considered safe, with minimal risks. Following proper dosage and guidelines ensures effective results with no long-term adverse effects.

Is Botox safe for all skin types?

Yes, Botox is suitable for all skin types and tones, as it targets muscles, not skin pigmentation. It effectively reduces wrinkles and fine lines without altering skin texture, making it a universal anti-aging solution for diverse skin types with minimal risks.

Is Botox painful?

The procedure involves tiny injections that feel like a slight pinch. Most clients experience minimal discomfort, and a numbing cream can be applied for extra ease. The process is quick, precise, and virtually painless, making it a popular lunchtime treatment with no downtime.

How long does Botox last?

Botox results typically last 3 to 6 months, depending on metabolism, treatment area, and lifestyle. Regular maintenance sessions help prolong effects, and repeated treatments may gradually train facial muscles to sustain smoother skin for longer periods.

Can you get Botox while pregnant?

No, Botox is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to insufficient clinical research on its effects. To ensure the safety of both mother and baby, it is best to postpone Botox treatments until after childbirth and nursing.

What’s the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?

Botox relaxes facial muscles to prevent wrinkles, while dermal fillers restore volume and contour. Botox smooths dynamic wrinkles, while fillers plump lips, cheeks, and deep lines. Both are effective but address different concerns in facial rejuvenation treatments. Learn about Botox vs Dermal Fillers and select the best for you.

Trusted Voices, Proven Service

I've been coming to The Nova Clinic Al Wasl Branch for laser hair removal and really happy with the results I'm getting. Shoutout to Dr. Saima, she's so sweet, very detailed and professional when it comes to explaining the procedures and whats best for me, and a shoutout to her nurse Rachel too. The only thing is that sometimes it's quite difficult to change or book appointments if I want to book something soon, which makes me have to wait a long time. However overall, I would definitely recommend this clinic to others!

It is always lovely to visit The Nova clinic on Al Wasl rd. the staff are all super nice and helpful. Jessica did my facial today. She is very professional and walked me through what would happen and how long it would last. During the treatment she talked about what she was applying and how it would affect my skin . Over all a great experience and I would definitely recommend Jessica and the Nova Clinic.

Lisa Hamilton
It was my first time at the Nova clinic and I was pleasantly impressed. A very beautiful, spacious and clean place with excellent service and professional specialists. I came for a procedure with cosmetologist Natalya and she selected a treatment for me based on my skin type and according to my recommendations, we did peeling and lifting of the lower part of the face, everything went as comfortable and pleasant as possible) After the procedure, my face was shining and looked very fresh, and after a few days I began to receive a million compliments that I began to look much better and that something had changed noticeably, this cannot please me either when in the morning I saw an even tone and a toned face. In general, I am very pleased and recommend Natalia as a specialist in caring for your face.

Diana Gorbacheva
I did an enzyme facial last week at NOVA clinic, It was amazing,Christine was amazing and very gentle and the atmosphere of the room is very relaxing. The facial was kind of uncomfortable because it stings BUT after the results of the facial after 2 days i forgot about the unpleasant itches during the facial. Everyone told me im glowing which is why im going to do the facial again very soon! Plus it seemed like it reduced visible fine lines/wrinkles. I highly recommend this facial and clinic, as it's very clean and welcoming.

I recently had my brows shaped by Lana Tarek, a well known brow aesthetician. I am so impressed by her work. She is very meticulous in what she does, she will analyse your face and create a shape which will suit you best. My mother also does micoblading there and the results are amazing.. She creates really natural, beautiful brows. I highly recommend her!
