Botox anti-wrinkle treatment smooths the skin and gives a more youthful complexion within a week or two. Results last for three to four months and are easily topped up for an on-going youthful appearance.

Botox is gently injected using a micro-needle within facial muscles where wrinkles are present, such as on the brow and around the eyes, nose and mouth. Botulinum toxin A safely works by preventing nerve impulses from contracting muscles that cause wrinkles to develop. Each treatment site takes approximately five minutes, as Botox is carefully injected in tiny amounts for minimal discomfort.

As Botox relaxes the muscles and facial skin, the wrinkles smooth out, giving the face a more serene and younger look. The treatment is increasingly popular among men and women for softening facial lines, making wrinkles disappear and enhancing skin quality.

What can it treat?

Those who have developed deep lines or furrows on the forehead, between the eyes, around the nose and mouth may particularly benefit from the skin relaxing effects of Botox. Scars sometimes become prominent with age or as muscles contract. Botox may be used to minimise the prominence of scars.

The medical field has long recognised the advantages of Botulinum toxin, used in treating excess perspiration and neuro-muscular conditions. The relaxing effect of Botox benefits people who experience muscle spasms and pain. Those with migraine conditions may be treated with Botox.

Benefits of Botox

The benefits of Botox treatment are physical, emotional and psychological.  People having Botox treatment for cosmetic purposes experience younger looking skin. Botox for medical treatment alleviates discomfort and pain. The effects of Botox boost self-image and confidence, promoting an overall sense of well-being.

Initial Botox injections with top-ups will, in the long run, mean that less treatments are required. On consultation, the Botox practitioner advises on treatment duration and top-ups to optimise skin rejuvenation that varies per person.
