Botox
Avané Dermatology Clinic in Nairobi offers treatments with Botox® Cosmetic, an FDA-approved injectable used to smooth facial wrinkles and frown lines for a refreshed, youthful appearance. Beyond aesthetics, Botox can address neck spasms (cervical dystonia), excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), migraines, and even the popular “Barbie neck” treatment, which enhances the neck’s definition.
Botox Cosmetic if formulated with Botulinum Toxin type A, a highly-purified protein that reduces muscle activity to smooth wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions. Botox also inhibits nerve signals to specific muscles or glands for medical concerns like migraines or excessive sweating, reducing symptoms.
Avané Clinic's providers use precise dosing and expert placement to ensure your results are natural and never frozen. We treat areas like the forehead, glabella (between the brows), and eye area to restore a smoother, more youthful appearance without compromising your unique expression. The “Barbie neck” treatment specifically targets neck muscles to create a more contoured and elongated neck appearance, offering a subtle yet effective lift.
Your Botox treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and areas of concern. A qualified physician will use a fine needle to inject Botox into the targeted areas during the procedure.
For cosmetic purposes, injections focus on muscles around the eyes, forehead, and brows. For medical conditions like migraines or excessive sweating, injections are placed in the scalp, forehead, or underarms. The treatment is quick, often taking about 10 minutes, and requires minimal downtime.

Our Nairobi Botox clients can achieve smoother skin and reduced wrinkles, as well as relief from medical concerns like excessive sweating and migraines. Botox softens expression lines and smooths the skin, creating a more relaxed and youthful appearance. When done correctly, it doesn’t change how you look; it enhances it. The results appear gradually, typically within 3–5 days, and look natural. Botox also works preventively, helping slow the development of deeper wrinkles over time.
The “Barbie neck” treatment improves neck contours, creating a more sculpted and youthful profile. Patients enjoy enhanced confidence, a more refreshed appearance, and long-lasting relief from chronic conditions such as hyperhidrosis and migraines.
Advantages of Botox:
Ideal candidates for Botox in Nairobi are individuals in good overall health who want to reduce or prevent expression lines. Most patients are in their 30s–50s, but Botox can be effective as a preventive measure earlier. You should avoid Botox if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological conditions.

There’s no formal recovery required with Botox. You may notice mild redness or swelling at the injection site, which typically resolves within an hour. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, lying flat, or rubbing the treated areas for 4–6 hours post-treatment. Results begin to show within 3–5 days and continue improving over the next two weeks.
You may see visible improvement in the treated areas within 3–5 days, with full results around days 10–14. The effects of Botox last 3–4 months, depending on your muscle activity and metabolism. Regular treatments help maintain your results, and you may require fewer units over time as your muscles relax more easily.

Absolutely. Botox is often paired with dermal fillers or chemical peels for a more comprehensive rejuvenation plan.
