What are Wrinkle Smoothing Injections?

It is a purified protein produced by bacteria in laboratory conditions. It works at the point where the nerve connects to the muscle, stopping the muscle from working.

A number of brand names of botulinum toxin are available such as Xeomin® and Azzalure.

How long has botulinum toxin been in use in this way ?

It was first used in 1978 to treat squints by weakening the overactive eye muscle. Since then it has been used to treat a wide range of medical problems such as tics, facial spasm and cerebral palsy to name but a few.

In more recent years, the use of this approach for cosmetic therapy has become more widespread. It is used in very small doses.

How it Works.

Botox treatment for the traditional 3 areas—forehead lines, frown lines (glabella), and crow’s feet—utilizes botulinum toxin type A injections to temporarily relax the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles.

By blocking nerve signals to these muscles, Botox prevents them from contracting, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

How much does treatment cost?

Botulinum toxin treatment cost is dependent on the number of areas being treated. Please also note that treatment prices for men may vary according to muscle tone. To find out more, book your initial consultation and look or check out our price list.

Expected Results.

Following Botox treatment, patients can expect to see gradual improvements in the appearance of forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet over the course of several days. The full effects typically manifest within 7 to 14 days post-treatment, with results lasting approximately 3 to 4 months.

Botox injections provide a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance with minimal downtime.
