Wrinkles and frown lines develop as a result of using facial muscles repeatedly, with skin creasing in areas of greatest use. The ageing process also causes the slow down of collagen and elastin production, so eventually these lines can become permanent. Sun damage can also be a major factor.

Anti-Wrinkle Treatments

Improve the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles with Botulinum toxin A. This is a safe and effective treatment which is fairly painless and affordable. The effects become noticeable within a couple of days and can last for several months

What Is Used To Relax Wrinkles?

Botox™ is short for botulinum toxin A which is a purified protein produced by a bacterium called Clostridum Botulinum. It is been used since the 1920’s and was marketed in 1997 for a wide range of clinical uses.

How Does It Work?

Injections of the substance blocks nerve signals to the injected muscles, temporarily paralysing movement and preventing wrinkles from appearing and worsening. Botulinum toxin treatment will not dramatically change your facial appearance or make you appear totally expressionless. The muscle activity is simply reduced, to look fresher and more youthful. Should you wish a more frozen result you can discuss with the clinicians.

What Should I Expect?

The injections are fairly painless and treatment typically takes 15-30 minutes. The effect of anti wrinkle treatment can become noticeable within 3-7 days. The lines can continue to reduce for up to 1 month after the inital treatment. The results can last 3-6 months depending on each individuals metabolism.
