Anti-wrinkle injections, often called Botox, soften the lines that form when you frown, raise your eyebrows or smile, such as forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet. At 7 Dimensions Medical Center (7DMC) in Dubai, the treatment is planned and performed by our aesthetic doctors at our Jumeirah (Umm Suqeim 3) and Al Barsha (Arjan) branches. A session takes about 15 to 20 minutes, and most people return to their day straight afterwards.
Anti-wrinkle injections use a purified protein, botulinum toxin, to relax specific muscles in the face for a few months. When the muscle under a line moves less, the skin above it creases less, so the line softens and the face looks more rested. Botox is the most widely known brand of botulinum toxin, which is why most people search for "Botox in Dubai", but there are several licensed brands, and your doctor will tell you which one is used for you.
The treatment works on dynamic lines, the ones caused by movement. Lines that stay visible when your face is completely still, or skin that has lost volume, often respond better to a combined plan with dermal fillers or skin boosters, which your doctor can explain at the consultation.

You start to see lines soften after 3 to 5 days, and the full effect shows at about two weeks. The effect usually lasts 3 to 4 months, after which muscle movement gradually returns. Many people book a top-up 2 to 4 times a year. How long it lasts depends on the area, the dose, your muscle strength and your metabolism, so results vary from person to person.
The aim at 7DMC is a face that still moves and expresses, just with softer lines. As one of our patients wrote, our doctor gave "her honest opinion" and the right advice on treatments.
Anti-wrinkle injections are a medical treatment, and like any medical treatment they carry risks. The most common side effects are mild and short-lived: redness, small bruises, tenderness at the injection points and a mild headache. Less commonly, the product can affect a nearby muscle and cause a temporary drop of the eyelid or eyebrow or an uneven look, which settles as the product wears off. Rare risks include allergic reactions. This is why the treatment is done only by a licensed doctor, after a full medical history, with doses planned for your face.
The cost of anti-wrinkle injections (Botox) in Dubai usually ranges from AED 800 to AED 1,500 per area, depending on the number of areas treated, the number of units your muscles need and the clinic. Typical ranges: One area, AED 800 to AED 1,500; Three areas (forehead, frown lines, crow's feet), AED 1,000 to AED 2,500. These are typical market prices across Dubai clinics, not a 7DMC price list. At 7DMC, your exact price is confirmed at your consultation, before any treatment.
