Treatments

The following areas are a fantastic and non-invasive way of improving our aesthetics in the upper 1/3 of the face. They work seamlessly well together and allow for synergy into the lower 2/3 of the face: Forehead, Frown (Glabellar), Crows feet (lines around eyes)

We can treat many other areas of the face and body:

Gummy smile

A gummy smile is known in medical terms as excessive gingival display. Botulinum Toxin, when injected in the top lip, will relax the muscles which will limit the height. The gums will then remain covered when smiling.

Lip Flip

For those wanting a very subtle lip change who are nervous about having lip fillers. A lip flip is a fantastic alternative option for improving the fullness of your lips, in a nice subtle way.

Neck and jowls

Necklines and wrinkles

Minor sagging of skin and jowls can be addressed

Platysmal banding (vertical neck bands)

Down Turn Smile (sad face)

By targeting a specific muscle near the mouth corner, we can reduce the effect of a ‘sad face’ by relaxing the muscle which causes this primary change. This can work very effectively alongside lip filler

Under Arms (sweat reduction)

The treatment works by blocking the nerves responsible for activating your sweat glands, which in turn reduces sweating in the area.

Bruxism (Teeth Grinding/Clenching)

This treatment option significantly relaxes the ‘masseter’ muscle and helps reduce wear on the teeth due to clenching or grinding. Voluntary movements, such as chewing and facial expressions, are not affected. This is not a cure for grinding, but can be an effective way to manage the symptoms.

Chin

Chin dimpling or stippling, also known as ‘orange peel chin’ can be reduced with wrinkle reduction injections

FAQs

How long does botox (botulinum toxin) last?

Botox generally lasts for around 3-4 months, depending on the individual and the area treated. It takes roughly 3-7 days to start working and up to 14 days to take full effect, which is why we include a 2-3 week review with all our botox appointments.

Is having Botox painful?

Absolutely not. It’s a really non-invasive low-risk treatment. Obviously, this depends on your practitioner, but this should not be a painful treatment.

Are there any side effects to having Botox?

The risks are mainly small bruises and/or very small areas of swelling immediately after treatment. This should only last for 20-30 minutes or a bruise up to 5-7 days. In regard to other unlikely side effects, it would be down to the results and how the patient was treated:

Undesired results
Headache
Droopy eyelids or uneven eyebrows
An uneven smile line
Watery or dry eyes.
Infection at the injection site

How does Botox work?

Botulinum Toxin (Botox ®) when injected into a muscle, temporarily relaxes the muscle by blocking the nerve impulses. As the nerve impulses are blocked the muscle is temporarily unable to contract so that dynamic wrinkles are therefore not formed. This gives the overlying facial skin a softer, smoother and more youthful appearance.

What is Botox?

Botox is an injectable drug made from botulinum toxin type A. This toxin is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. There are many types of botulinum toxins like Azzalure, Bocouture, etc. but Botox is a trademarked brand name that specifically represents botulinum toxin A. In small doses it is considered extremely safe.
