Botox® or Botulinum toxin type A injections are the UK`s most popular treatment for wrinkles and lines. It is a relatively safe and simple procedure that produces instant results!
Botox® is injected into specific muscles helping to block signals from the nerves to the facial muscles. The results offer a smoother and less wrinkled skin around the treated area and can last on average 3-6 months.
It can be used to treat common tell-tale signs of ageing such as `crows feet` around the eyes and frown lines and forehead lines.
The treatment takes approximately 30 minutes and is administered by our practitioners using a fine needle. The pain is mild and no anaesthetic is required. You can continue your daily routine without disruption. Results are noticeable 2-10 days after the treatment.
Corrective To Preventative
There are two types of lines and wrinkles; Static and Dynamic.
Dynamic lines appear, when you make facial expressions, such as lines appearing around the eyes and as tension lines along the forehead. At this stage they are much easier to treat but after some time they turn into static lines often referred to as `ingrained lines` that are noticeable even without making any facial expressions.
Botox® can be used as a preventative measure to avoid the appearance of these lines forming. Many younger clients prefer this approach to avoid the effects of ageing.
