This procedure involves administering Botulinum Toxin A into targeted areas to reduce wrinkles.

 

When you concentrate, squint, frown or smile the muscles in your face contract. After years of frequent contraction combined with other environmental and lifestyle factors, lines and wrinkles will form and eventually become permanent. When the muscles in our face move, a message is sent via nerves from the brain to the muscles, instructing them to contract. Anti-wrinkle treatments work by interrupting this process, leaving those muscles unable to crease the skin.

 

They are mainly used for the face – forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet lines around the eyes, and the ‘No.11 lines’ between the eyebrows (the glabella) are the most popular areas. Other areas that can be treated include lifting eyebrows, minimising smokers lines on the upper lip and bunny lines on the side of the nose, decreasing the ‘orange peel’ appearance of the chin and lifting the corners of a down-turned mouth, Hyperhidrosis ( excess sweating)  and jawline slimming.

 

The ‘frozen’ look many of us associate with wrinkle relaxing is only caused when too much product is administered into one area.  The products I choose to use, still allow for movement and a natural looking approach.  During your consultation we will discuss how the treatment can be used for subtle effects so no one need know your secret.

​

The treatment itself is relatively painless, as both the needles used and the volumes injected are very small. As with any injections, small areas of bruising may be seen afterwards, but this is unusual, and if present they are invariably mild and easily concealed.

 

The injections usually start to produce an effect within 2-3 days, but it may take up to 2 weeks for maximum benefits to be seen. Results of the treatment usually last between 3 to 6 months.

 

Before you leave the clinic, we can book your next appointment in 3-4 months times to ensure you maintain your new look.
