What is Botox™
Used safely and effectively for many years by opthalmologists to treat eyelid and eye muscle spasm, Botox™ is an approved medical protein which effects a process known as cosmetic denervation. Its effectiveness having been proven, it is now increasingly being used to reverse the signs of visible ageing.
What is Botox™ used for?
Every time we laugh, smile or frown, Dynamic Wrinkles are created by the contractions in our delicate facial muscles. Over time, these 'contractions' leave us with what we know as frown lines, crow's feet and laughter lines. By blocking impulses from the nerves to our tiny facial muscles, temporarily relaxing them so that they don't contract, Botox™ softens the appearance of these lines. While the untreated muscles react in a normal way allowing facial expressions to be unaffected, the skin itself remains smooth and unwrinkled. The improvement can be surprisingly dramatic.
This excellent and inexpensive treatment achieves superb results and is ideal for the removal of:
- frown lines
- crow's feet
- laughter lines
- forehead creases
How long does the treatment take?
Each treatment takes approximately 30 minutes.
How long will the treatment last?
Depending on the individual, results can last up to 6 months. There is however evidence to suggest that the muscles eventually retrain themselves so that less frequent treatments may be necessary over time.
In summary
Non-intrusive and painless, Botox™ is administered through a tiny micro-needle so fine that there is very minimal discomfort. Treatment may be carried out immediately since no 'test patch' is required, and normal activities can be resumed immediately.
There is some evidence that some of those who suffer from migraine have, after receiving Botox™ treatment, experienced a vast improvement in their condition.
