Anti-Wrinkle Injections - BOTOX®
What is BOTOX?
BOTOX® is a prescription-only drug (botulinum toxin). In anti-ageing treatment, it is injected into the face in order to relax the facial muscles and improve the appearance of wrinkles and creases.
Anti-wrinkle injections are injected into the target muscle and works by blocking the transmission of signals from the nerve ending to the muscle. This causes temporary paralysis of the treated muscle, resulting in the reduction or loss of wrinkles.
The procedure is very simple and relatively pain free, with results taking up to two weeks to be effective and typically lasting around 12 weeks depending on each individual.
Current treatments are offered in the following areas:
Forehead lines
Frown lines
Crows feet
