How does Botox work?

Anti-wrinkle treatments in the form of 'Botox' have been safely and successfully used for more than 12 years on over 1 million people. An increasingly popular part of every day life here in the UK, this is a simple treatment that can dramatically soften facial expression lines and wrinkles on the face leaving you looking younger and more refreshed.

They can be used to prevent and reduce lines and wrinkles which appear as:

• Frown lines between the eyes
• Forehead lines
• Crows feet

A very small amount of the wrinkle reduction relaxant is injected very precisely into several locations on the face. Impulses are blocked from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles that help contribute to wrinkles. The muscles therefore cannot contract and tend to relax. Although the results are dramatic, it will not radically change your facial appearance. The muscles are simply relaxed, so you can still frown, smile, or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases between your brows.

This is a simple non surgical procedure that, depending on the number of areas you wish to treat, only takes 30 minutes and allows you to return home immediately afterwards. You may need to have top-up injections every 4 to 6 months to maintain your desired appearance. Clinical studies indicate that the duration of treatment benefit is increased over time, meaning that you should require injections less frequently in the future.
