In addition to a comprehensive range of general and cosmetic dental treatments, we are delighted to offer the latest facial aesthetic treatments, including dermal fillers and Botox. Botox is a very popular anti-ageing treatment, which creates a younger look without the need fur surgery.

What is Botox?

Botox is a toxin but it is used in such small quantities that it does not have harmful implications for health. Botox is injected into the skin and it helps to smooth the complexion and reduce the visibility of wrinkles by reducing muscle contraction in the facial muscles. Botox is a popular treatment for lines and wrinkles, most commonly crow’s feet, frown lines and laughter lines.

What does treatment involve?

Botox treatment is relatively straightforward. After a consultation, in which we will discuss the areas you want to address, we will arrange your treatment session. Botox is injected into specific areas of the face using a fine needle; treatment usually takes around 30 minutes, but it will take a little longer if you choose to have more areas treated. The skin can be numbed prior to treatment to prevent you from feeling any pain and you can get back to your normal daily life straight away without having to worry about taking time off work to recover.

Are there any risks?

Botox is considered to be a safe treatment when it is administered by a trained professional. The results of treatment are temporary and clients have the choice whether or not to top up their treatment to prolong the results.

If you would like a younger, fresher look, you have noticed lines and wrinkles and you long for a smoother complexion to roll back the years, you may wish to consider Botox. Many people choose to have Botox if they are thinking about having cosmetic surgery because the results are temporary and the risk of complications is much lower; this treatment gives them the option to see what the results are like and whether they like them before committing to long-term, invasive treatment.
