Feeling fearful about your first Botox or filler experience is completely normal. At Instabeauty Aesthetics, your first botox treatment can be easy, secure, and satisfying with the right information and support. This blog will help you prepare, know what to anticipate, and feel confident.
Why People Feel Nervous About Botox
It’s perfectly natural to feel anxious. Some common worries include:
- Fear of pain or discomfort
- Concern about looking “frozen” or unnatural
- Worries about safety, side effects, or complications
- Fear of making the “wrong choice” of clinic or practitioner
What Happens at Your First Consultation
One of the most reassuring parts of the process is that your experience at Instabeauty Aesthetics always starts with a detailed consultation. At this initial meeting, you’ll:
- Discuss your goals – what you hope to achieve with botox (e.g. smoothing forehead lines, relaxing frown lines, etc.).
- Check your medical history by looking at allergies, previous cosmetic treatments, medications, and any concerns you may have. This helps ensure safety.
- Examine facial anatomy – we’ll assess muscle strength, skin condition, and what realistic results look like for you.
- Plan the treatment – dosage, areas to treat, expected outcomes, and aftercare.
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question is too small or silly.
What to Expect During the Treatment
If injections worries you, here’s roughly what your first botox session will look like:
- The treatment area is cleaned and prepped. Sometimes a numbing cream might be used.
- Using very fine needles, small amounts of botox are injected into target muscles. You’ll feel some mild pricks or pinches, but it’s usually quick.
- The procedure typically takes only minutes (depending on how many areas are being treated).
At Instabeauty Aesthetics, everything is performed by qualified & experienced professionals, in a clean, well-equipped clinic in Cambridge. Maximal safety and minimum pain are our objectives.
Aftercare: What You Should Avoid and What You Should Do
Follow these aftercare advice to minimise side effects so that your initial botox results settle well:
- At least four hours after treatment, maintain an upright posture; refrain from bending over or lying down.
– For several hours, avoid rubbing, massaging, or pushing the treated regions.
24 hours should pass without rigorous activity, saunas, or extreme heat exposure.
- As your doctor advised, avoid blood-thinning supplements and alcohol prior to and following treatment where feasible.
- Wait: Results usually start to appear in three to five days; full effect is often seen in 10–14 days.
Contact the clinic if you have any worries—asymmetry, swelling, or discomfort. We provide follow-up care at Instabeauty Aesthetics to make sure you are pleased with your results.

Questions You Might Want to Ask
Going into your appointment, it might help to ask:
- How many units of botox will I need for my desired results?
- What’s the dosage plan, and can I start conservatively?
- What are possible side effects, and how often do they happen?
- Can I see before/after photos of patients with similar features?
