Botox for blushing
Blushing is a perfectly normal reaction where the cheeks become flushed red due to an increase in blood flow.
However, for some people, blushing or flushing can be excessive. It can become a significant problem and have an impact on their quality of life. It’s important to explore with your GP whether there could be an underlying medical condition causing your excessive blushing.
For some patients, botox can provide a simple and effective solution for excessive blushing.
This treatment is applicable for many types of blushing and redness, and may also be suitable to treat some symptoms of rosacea.

Our botox for blushing treatment is available at our London Harley Street, Huntingdon, Peterborough and Sevenoaks clinics.
All patients have a free initial consultation, so that our experts can fully assess your condition and ensure that both you, and we, are happy that the approach is right for you. If so, the treatment can be administered straight away.

If your practitioner concludes that botox won’t help to reduce your blushing then you won’t be charged for the consultation.
What can I expect following botox treatment for blushing?
Botox generally takes around three days to start to take effect, with the optimum results attained after two weeks.
We will provide you with full aftercare information at your appointment and book you in for a free review – at which we can administer free top-up treatments if necessary.
The benefits should last from three to six months.

We won’t be able to treat you with botox if any of the following apply to you:
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You suffer with myasthernia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome.
- You have a blood-clotting disorder.
If you are not sure whether botox will be beneficial to you, then call us on 0330 024 1300 or book in for a free consultation with one of our doctors to discuss your options.
