Best London Botox for a newbie?

[Elizabethtailored]

I have done a past search and found a few old threads but a lot of recommendations seem suspiciously like plugs or are quite a few years old.

Central or sw London would be best. Would like to attack my wrinkly forehead and deep naso labial lines.

Any recommendations please for a first timer?

I went to Dr Leah Clinic near Moorgate. Seemed good.

Dr Rita Rakus in Knightsbridge - it's where lots of celebs go. shes known as the London lip queen but they do all sorts

She's great and a qualified nurse

Went to melior clinics on Harley street on Friday (first time for me). V pleased with results so far!

I see Dr Emma Wedgworth at Dr Sam Bunting's clinic on Harley st. She's ace

See a consultant dermatologist or plastic surgeon who's an accredited member of the appropriate professional body - much preferable to a nurse or dentist or Dr who isn't a consultant in either speciality, IMO

Dr Robert in 10 Harley street is the best in London. He has been doing my face for years and it's so natural, I just look fresh rather than frozen. His IG page is instagram.com/drrobertofficial

My god those lips are frightening.

They truly are BlackSwan

Wow - those lips would actually put me off using someone, they're that big

Jesus. Most of these 'after' shots look like something from Botched Up Bodies

I cannot understand why this practitioner would be someone to be recommended rather than advised to steer well clear of

Any practitioner who promotes this work clearly

• is happy to promote a hideous aesthetic
• doesn't have their patients' best interests at heart if they're willing to give someone a shit tonne of filler just because they've asked for it, regardless of whether they think that's a good idea

For botox you MUST go to someone who will guide you to the minimal amount possible to get the desired effect

And whereby the desired effect is to look like you, but fresher

I'd expect a good practitioner of lip filler to show work whereby lips looked naturally full, not like artificial dolls

If that's the kind of filler results they're happy to show off, Christ knows what their botox looks are like

Good work shouldn't be perceptible, let alone make you look like something out of a horror movie

Hi bananafish. Do you mind me asking how much Emma W charges for Botox? I'm due to see Dr Sam for an initial consultation next month and am thinking about trying Botox. Thanks.

@BasicBetty honestly can't remember off the top of my head. Couple of hundred quid for 3 areas - ask the secretary and she can confirm. Good luck!

Dr Russo of the rejuvenation clinic. offices just off harley st (wimpole or wigmore? wimpole i think - the quiet one not the one with the shops!) and Canary Wharf. His secretary is hopeless so bear with the appointments system but he is excellent.

will do, thanks bananafish

Jimmy Carr goes to PHI clinic on Harley St.

Allegedly, of course. coughcough.

That doc has just instagrammed more weird lips

Freaky

The consultant clinic. No weird lips or anything else on their Instagram page. They're excellent.

I used Cosmedocs to get botox for excessive sweating of my hands. Cosmedocs has very reasonable prices, and were very accomodating, allowing me (with my restricted income) to receive treatment in just one hand, thus halving the price. The doctor and his assistant really made me feel at ease. Plus the results were great, and I was offered a free top up! If you're considering botox for hyperhidrosis, I would definitely recommend Dr Haq and his team.

Yes, Melior, they were recommended few years back and have been going there twice a year. All the staff are lovely, kind and caring. Always happy with the results and after care.

Dr Vicky Dondos is superb.

Staffs are very professional and friendly they performed a quick and efficient procedure and they really do try and cater to the needs of the individual. excellent service would recommend to everyone!
