Botox Injection for Wrinkles
Botox injection (Botulinum) is a revolutionary anti-wrinkle treatment for reversing the effects of facial wrinkles like crow’s feet, worry lines and laugh lines. These wrinkles, referred to as dynamic wrinkles, can be treated by a Botox injection into the tiny facial muscles that cause them. Botox is more effective and proven to be better than the best anti wrinkle cream.
We only use established botulinum brands from internationally controlled companies, like Botox (Allergan), Vistabel (Allergan), Azzalure (Galderma) or Xeomin (Merz).
Botox is a simple, non-surgical, physician-administered treatment. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). When used in a very specific, controlled manner, it causes the facial muscles to relax. It is administered in very minute amounts, carefully and delicately injected into specific muscles in the face using a micro needle.
Botox Injection Works Best On The Upper Third Of The Face To Reduce Lines And Wrinkles:
- Forehead furrows (worry lines),
- Glabellar frown lines (frown lines between the eyebrows),
- Lines around the eyes (crow’s feet)
Nearly Always Respond Favorably To Botox. Other Areas Which Can Be Corrected With Botox Injections Include:
- nasal lines (bunny lines),
- lifting the outer corners of your eyebrows
- fine wrinkles on your upper lip (smokers lines),
- gummy smile
- dimpled chin
- downturned corners of your mouth
- neck lines and bands
As we get older the elasticity of our skin decreases and does not spring back like it used to causing lines and wrinkles to become ingrained. Botox temporarily relaxes the muscles which cause these wrinkles and lines and thus gives us a softer, less tired and more relaxed appearance. Botox was first used in 1980 as a treatment for eye ticks, twitching, uncontrolled blinking and the lazy eye, and has subsequently been safely used cosmetically for over 20 years.

BOTOX INJECTIONS FAQ
Botox is a solution of purified proteins produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause facial lines which form over time.
This causes relaxation of the muscles that produce deep lines and wrinkles, but allows the other non-targeted muscles to continue to move, thus maintaining all your facial expressions and achieving a natural, fresher look. Therefore, it does not ‘freeze’ or ‘paralyze’ the face. It merely temporarily prevents nerve impulses from causing excessive movements.
The procedure itself is very brief lasting – no more than 20-30 minutes and is not generally considered painful.
Botox takes about 2 weeks to activate and completely relax the targeted muscles but you will start to notice changes within 5-10 days. It will last for approximately 3-4 months after which it will start to wear off as the Botox naturally breask down and new nerve endings begin to grow. Because this re-growth starts to slow down in time, the more treatments one has, the more time it will take for the effects to fully wear off, e.g. 6 months.
It is essential that you attend a well qualified and registered practitioner like us for best results. We will individually assess your needs and desires before your tailor made treatment starts. This will ensure your safety and satisfaction.
Possible side effects include very mild bruising around the injection site (which settles in a few hours) and occasionally slight headaches. In exceptionally rare instances patients may experience temporary droopy eye lids or brow.
As the old adage goes “prevention is better than cure”, Botox has performed very well in supporting this. For younger clients (strictly above the age of 25), the prevention of wrinkles can be better and less intensive than treating them when they are established (Baby Botox). In Baby Botox, less product is used to achieve natural and safe results.
