What is Botox® ?
Botox is the trade name for Botulinum Toxin Type A. It is a purified bacterial substance which when injected into the face muscle fibres, blocks the nerve signals causing the muscle to relax which in turn, reduces lines and wrinkles caused by contractions of underlying face muscle. It is most effective in the treatment of frown lines, laugh lines, crow's feet and other dynamic wrinkles. It has been proven to be safe, effective and is now one of the most top ranked non-surgical cosmetic treatments in the UK. |

How is Botox® injected ?
Small units of Botox are injected around the required areas, using a micro-needle. The entire procedure takes approximately 15-20 minutes and does not require anaesthesia. Discomfort is very minimal and brief. |

How long will it last ?
The results vary among different individuals but are expected to last around 4-6 months. Following this you will notice a gradual fading of its effects at which point you may return for a repeat treatment. Clinical studies have shown repeated treatments last even longer. |

Are there any side effects ?
Botox has been used to treat wrinkles since the 1990's it's a very safe treatment and completely reversible. Common side effects are temporary such as mild localised bruising and slight redness of the skin lasting only a few hours or up to one day after the treatment. |

How will I look afterwards ?
It takes 3-5 days to see an improvement and up to one week to see the overall effect. The results are amazing and the difference will be noticed by you and seen on our before and after photographs. Wrinkles and lines will be visibly reduced or disappear leaving the skin fresh and smoother. |
