Dr Nabet

Dr Jules Nabet is a French cosmetic doctor, considered one of the original and top injectables practitioners – and now one of the best in London. A member of the General Medical Council, with over 25 years experience in his specialised field of aesthetics, Dr Jules Nabet is also credited with pioneering the ‘Botox Pen’. This motorised syringe holder drives a minutely precise amount of the toxin into the skin, to ensure a smooth and highly targeted delivery. With none of the pressure of a needle, there’s said to be 50 per cent less pain than normal cosmetic injections. Dr Nabet says: ‘As each face is unique, results vary from person to person. This depends on how strong their facial muscles are and the particular issues they are trying to correct. I usually inject from eight to 10 pricks high on the forehead, then around 1cm away from the eyes to open them up. Clients also want help relieving tension headaches and migraines with neurotoxin injectables like Botox.’ The latter including his daughter, who he has been injecting since she was 18 to treat her migraines. A true indication of his trust in this product if ever we’ve heard one.

What Should You Know Before You Go?

Anti-wrinkle neurotoxin injections use botulinum toxin to block signals from nerves that cause muscles to contract. This effectively smooths wrinkles by disabling the muscles in key areas of the face to move. As the popularity of anti-wrinkle treatments increases, the number of practitioners in London continues to increase. But while the treatments share the same aim and materials, the results will vary depending on the practitioner.

What Is Botox?

Botox is the brand name given to botulinum toxin by Allergan. It’s a neurotoxin that blocks nerve signals to muscles, preventing them from contracting – and is injected into muscles to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face – such as crow’s feet, frown lines and forehead lines.

The safety of botulinum toxin has been proven over 30 years of medical use and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave approval for it to be used as a cosmetic for the temporary improvement of frown lines almost 20 years ago.

How It Works

As we age the muscles in our face start to contract and this process forms wrinkles. Botulinum toxin blocks the release of the neurotransmitter that causes this contraction, so the injected muscle relaxes, which in turn softens lines and wrinkles. Botulinum toxin can also be used to lift drooping brows, heavy lids and even the corners of the mouth. It can take as little as fifteen minutes to administer, and on average patients can start to see the effects of the procedure within three days to two weeks.

How does Botox feel? Journalist Emma Whitehair says: ‘I start feeling a kind of creeping paralysis after a week. The strange sensation is worth it for the instantly smoothed complexion, which lasts up to six months. By treating the muscles over time, lines and wrinkles will appear less severe because the muscles are being trained to relax. It can also be considered a preventative measure and the best time to start is when you first spot lines while your face is relaxed. For me, that was at 40, but 35 is the average age of female clientele for Botox [anti-wrinkle injections] in the UK.’

Are Tailored Results Best?

Dean Rhobaye at the Sloane Clinic uses a technique called Dynamic Mapping to tailor treatment to the individual. He told us: ‘The problem is that the vast majority of practitioners learn how to inject Botox [botulinum toxin] on a one or two day course. They get shown a template and then they use that template for injecting, almost like a one size fits all. This doesn’t work, as there are big inconsistencies between muscular structures of individuals. You’ve got to tailor the injection points according to the specific anatomy of the patient.’ Failing to tailor the injection to the individual can end up in areas being over, or under treated. Opting for a practitioner that uses a tailored approach to the treatment is important, and for this reason, Dean recommends being wary of practitioners that offer very short appointments without a follow-up.

Find A Practitioner

The UK is the only country in the world where someone who is not a qualified doctor can be trained to legally inject neurotoxin injections like Botox, which can make it slightly more difficult to find a safe practitioner in London and further afield. As a general rule of thumb, use this checklist:

• Be wary of the term ‘cosmetic specialist’, this can apply to a dentist or nurse.
• Run a background check on a doctor’s credentials. Some of the biggest ‘stars’ of Harley Street don’t have doctorates that include training in the complex anatomical workings of the face. 
• It’s illegal to advertise Botox by name – so avoid any practitioners who do so.

We’re talking about changing how your face will move here, so invest in seeing a skilled doctor with the relevant experience, such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, who by virtue of their long period of training, will have received intensive study in the complex layers of blood vessels, arteries and nerves underneath the skin surface. Also note this is not a risk-free procedure even in skilled hands. So ensure your practitioner would know exactly what to do, in the unlikely event that something does go wrong.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections FAQ

What Is The Average Cost Of Anti-Wrinkle Injections In London?

Prices for anti-wrinkle injections like Botox in London typically start at around £200 and can rise to £500 or more, depending on the practitioner’s experience, the number of areas treated and the overall complexity of the treatment. Premium clinics and highly sought-after injectors may charge more, particularly for bespoke treatment plans.

How Long Do Anti-Wrinkle Injections Last?

Botox usually lasts around three to four months, though this can vary from person to person. Factors such as metabolism, dosage, the area treated and how regularly you have the treatment can all influence how long the results remain visible. Once you’ve had regular treatment of problem areas, you may find that previously noticeable lines no longer return, due to lasting muscle memory changes.

Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections Like Botox Safe?

Injectables like Botox are generally considered safe when carried out by a qualified medical professional with the correct training and experience. As with any injectable treatment, the key is choosing a reputable practitioner who understands facial anatomy, uses approved products and carries out a proper consultation beforehand.

How Do I Choose A Good Practitioner?

Look for a GMC-registered doctor or appropriately qualified medical professional with substantial experience in aesthetic injections. It is also worth checking patient reviews, natural-looking before-and-after results, safety standards and whether the clinic offers a thorough consultation rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Our list is a good place to start.

Will Anti-Wrinkle Injections Like Botox Make Me Look Frozen?

Not if it is done well. A skilled injector should aim to soften lines while preserving movement and expression, which is why technique and restraint matter just as much as the product itself.

When Will I See Results?

Most people begin to notice results within three to five days, with the full effect typically settling in after around two weeks. This can vary slightly depending on the area treated and the individual response.

Is There Any Downtime?

These sort of injectables are considered a ‘lunchtime treatment’ with minimal downtime for most patients. You may experience mild redness, swelling or tiny injection marks immediately after treatment, but these usually settle quickly.

Who Should Avoid Anti-Wrinkle Injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections are not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for those with certain neurological conditions or allergies to ingredients in the treatment. A proper medical consultation is essential to confirm suitability before proceeding, and the right practitioner will always ask the right questions.
