Anti-wrinkle injections using Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox) is the most popular treatment in the UK.
This is a quick,safe and simple procedure involving muscle relaxing injections. It can be used to smooth
out those lines and wrinkles on the frown between the eye brows, forehead lines, crows feet,
bunny lines, as well as many other lower face areas giving you a more relaxed and youthful appearance .
It is also used in the treatment for Hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating). Botox is a prescription only
medicine and should be considered a medical procedure and carried out by a qualified medical
professional. All clients need to be assessed by a medical professional
prior to treatments
Whenever you laugh, frown, concentrate or squint, your facial muscles
contract and your skin creases. As you get older your skin loses its elasticity and those creases deepen into
lines that become permanently etched on your face. Frown lines between your eyes can become particularly
noticeable at a relatively young age, making you look angry, worried or stressed even when you’re not.
By injecting tiny amounts of Botox® very precisely into specific facial muscles, the nerve impulses
responsible for contraction of these muscles are blocked. This causes a temporary weakness or paralysis
of that muscle resulting in the overlying skin becoming smooth and unwrinkled
The skin appears dramatically smoother
Facial lines disappear or diminish dramatically in just a few days
The creation of more wrinkles is prevented
Normal activities can be resumed immediately
It only takes 2-3 days for the injections to begin to take effect and 2-3 weeks for full effect.
Frown lines between the brows
Horizontal forehead lines
Crow’s feet around the eyes
Bunny lines on the nose
Lip area and corners of the mouth usually in conjunction with Dermal Fillers
The procedure only takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
The area to be treated is marked out on your skin and, then using an extremely fine needle, the product
is administered.Most people liken the sensation to having a hair plucked out. A full consultation and pre wrinkle
treatment photographs are always taken.
Your skin may be slightly red around the Botox
treated area immediately after the procedure and, occasionally, slight bruising can occur but can generally be
camouflaged with make-up the day after.
You will be given full post Botox treatment instructions to follow. It is especially important that, for four to six hours after treatment,
you do not rub or massage the area, that you avoid strenuous exercise, hot baths, showers or saunas,
do not lie flat and avoid alcohol.
Results may be noticeable within days but it often takes 2-3 weeks
for the maximum results to be seen.
The effects vary greatly from person to person but
generally last about months 3-4 months
You can resume normal activities, drive yourself home or return to work
immediately after the treatment. Exercise should be avoided for 24 hours after the treatment, and the area
should not be massaged for 24 hours. It is safe to fly after the treatment although we generally recommend
that you wait 48 hours before flying long haul.
Anti wrinkle injections is best at treating
dynamic facial lines i.e. those caused by facial muscular activity. This treatment does not improve
wrinkles due to ageing and sun-damage which are unrelated to facial muscle activity.
Facial muscles that are larger (such as in men) or which are used by facially ‘expressive’ clients
may require more frequent treatments. After several treatments the effects may last longer.

While anti wrinkle injections has been safely used by millions of patients,
it is recommended that pregnant or breast feeding women or patients suffering
from severe neuromuscular disorders, Bell’s palsy or blood coagulation disorders,
we do not recommend you have this treatment.
Drug interactions can occur when anti wrinkle injections such as botox are used concomitantly
with other medications. You must ensure that your practitioner is aware of any medications you are taking,
especially aminoglycoside antibiotics (gentamicin, neomycin), aspirin, anti-inflammatories,
Gingko Biloba and St John’s Wort.
Botox® has been used for over 20 years to treat facial wrinkles
and its safety and efficacy has been shown in many clinical trials. In addition there have been no long term side
effects reported from the use of Botox®. However, whilst uncommon, temporary adverse effects may arise from
the treatment. Occasionally a small bruise may occur at the injection site – this can be covered with make-up.
In very rare circumstances patients may experience heaviness or descent of the eyebrow or eyelid which may
last a few weeks. Prior to your treatment the doctor will assess your risk of this event and therefore adjust your
treatment accordingly.
Unfortunately, Botox® treatment from one clinic may not be exactly what you get at another.
Even though Botulinum Toxin A (Botox®,Azzalure, Bocouture etc botox is a single patient use
and all practitioners pay the same so always remember there is reasons why some treatments
are cheaper than others so practitioners who follow the law cannot do at these cut prices.
Small area of redness at treatment site lasting 2-3 hours (common)
Bruising / swelling of treatment area (less common)
Dull heavy sensation +/- occasional headache (less common)
Ptosis (droop) of eyebrow or eyelid (rare)
DO gently exercise the treatment areas by frowning, smiling, squinting and lifting the
eyebrows occasionally this will optimise your result
DO NOT rub or massage the treatment areas – this may increase the risk of complications by spreading the product.
AVOID alcohol, aspirin and ibuprofen for 24 hours which can increase the risk of bruising and swelling
AVOID lying flat or bending down excessively
AVOID very strenuous physical activity
