Frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead furrows are all signs of aging. As we get older, our faces bear the brunt of our age and can leave us looking less than fresh. Many procedures can be conducted in order to fight the signs of aging. One of the most common procedures is neurotoxin injections, such as BOTOX COSMETIC, in  Riyadh. 

What is a neurotoxin?

BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport Aesthetic™, and XEOMIN® COSMETIC™ are all neurotoxins. These injectable treatments are made from purified botulinum toxin A and have been proven as an effective way to combat wrinkles and other signs of aging that appear on our faces. Neurotoxin injections are a cosmetic procedure that is commonly done to women and men to make them appear younger. 

What happens during the injection procedure?

A neurotoxin injection is a simple procedure that only takes a few minutes.BOTOX, Dysport, or XEOMIN is injected into specific muscles with a fine needle to temporarily paralyze them. Once paralyzed, it is easy to remove wrinkles that lie over those muscles. You do not need to be anesthetized to receive your injection. There may be a minor discomfort in the area, but it generally fades within seconds as the fine needle is removed. 

Depending on the area being treated, the number of injections will vary. 

To deal with crow’s feet, 3 injections are typically used in the muscles that border the side of your eyes. 

To attack frown lines, 5 injections are generally administered into your forehead muscles. 

Upon your first meeting with Dr. Fouda  to discuss your neurotoxin injections, he will advise you to: 

  • Avoid alcohol for one week leading up to your procedure so you do not have any toxic elements in your system while your body heals from your injection. 
  • Avoid taking anti-inflammatories and aspirin at least two weeks before your treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.

Are neurotoxins safe?

Yes! Do not let the terminology fool you. Just because your muscles are temporarily paralyzed by a toxin does not mean that these injections are unsafe.BOTOX, Dysport, and XEOMIN are approved for cosmetic use in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) authorized botulinum toxin products to be used for non-surgical cosmetic procedures such as reducing wrinkles and fine lines. For safety and optimal results, choose an experienced injector like Dr. Fouda . 

If you are plagued with over-active sweat glands, your doctor may have suggestedBOTOX or another neurotoxin as a treatment option. Please discuss these options with Dr. Fouda  during your consultation. 

Botox Injections in Riyadh and Jeddah: Treatment & Cost

Botox is one of the most sought-after non-surgical aesthetic treatments in Saudi Arabia. Botox in Riyadh is widely used to smooth out wrinkles, fine lines, and dynamic facial expressions. Whether you’re targeting crow’s feet, frown lines, or forehead creases, Botox injections in Riyadh offer a fast and effective solution with minimal downtime. 

The procedure involves injecting a small amount of botulinum toxin into specific facial muscles. These botox injections in Riyadh work by relaxing the muscles, creating a smoother and younger appearance within days. Results typically last 3 to 4 months. 

Botox Riyadh patients often ask about pricing. The botox price in Riyadh generally ranges from SAR 800 onwards per session depending on the number of areas treated and the expertise of the injector. 

Looking for Botox in other cities? Botox Jeddah is also popular, with similar results and standards. The Botox Jeddah price can vary but may typically start around SAR 900. 

If you’re comparing options, note that the botox injection price in Saudi Arabia is competitive and reflects the high quality of aesthetic care in the region. 

What are the positive after-effects of neurotoxin injections?

The after-effects of neurotoxins are tremendous. You will not look like you’ve had any work done to your face and will appear more youthful. Patients can return to their normal routine immediately following their injections. Within a few days, you will notice significant changes to your face including the lack of crow’s feet and frown lines. The after-effects of neurotoxin treatments typically last 3 to 4 months, after which you will need to repeat the procedure. 

With neurotoxin injections, there are some factors to remember: 

Avoid rubbing the area that was treated so as to keep the toxin in place. If it migrates to another area, you will have to have the treatment redone. Normally, patients do not report any migration. 

The treatment may cause temporary bruising at the injection site, but this can be easily covered with makeup and fades after a few days. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Injectable neurotoxins such as BOTOX treat forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, frown lines between the eyebrows, and wrinkles on the upper lip. Neurotoxins temporarily immobilize the tiny facial muscles that cause these “dynamic” wrinkles, which develop as you change facial expressions. Fillers, on the other hand, treat wrinkles and lines caused by age-related loss of volume and environmental effects, such as sun damage. Dr. Fouda  creates a treatment plan using both neurotoxins and fillers to target specific areas of the face. 

Yes, botulinum toxin’s versatility in treating a range of conditions continues to grow. For example, neurotoxins can slightly change the underlying shape of certain facial features by weakening the muscles that pull them down. In addition, neurotoxin injections can relax overactive platysma muscles, which cause neck bands to form. 

Men and women troubled by excessive underarm sweating can also find relief from neurotoxin injections. Even some patients who suffer chronic migraine headaches experience a dramatic reduction in the number and severity of episodes after neurotoxin injections that target appropriate trigger points.

Typically, results from a botulinum-based injectable wrinkle treatment last about 4 months. 

Depending on your specific needs, sometimes a BOTOX Riyadh, wrinkle treatment can be combined with dermal fillers for more comprehensive results. During your consultation, Dr. Fouda  will assess whether you are a candidate for combining procedures.
