Look as young as you feel
Botulinum toxin type A, popularly referred to as “Botox”, has been used therapeutically for a range of medical problems for the last 40 years. It is an effective and well-established cosmetic treatment for lines and wrinkles.
The procedure is quick (15-30 minutes) with undeniable results, making it the most popular cosmetic treatment. In the United Kingdom alone, thousands of men and women receive anti-wrinkle injections each year. Relaxing the facial muscles creates a natural, rejuvenated look, making wrinkles softer and less visible.

For a more youthful appearance, anti-wrinkle injections such as Botox can smooth out forehead wrinkles, frown lines, crows-feet, bunny lines and necklines, making it a great anti-ageing treatment. They are also an excellent option for younger patients who want to prevent wrinkles from forming. This safe and established procedure temporarily blocks nerve signals to the muscles that cause wrinkles and expressive fine lines.

Treatment details
First, we will conduct a comprehensive consultation before treatment.
Next, we will take your photographs, complete your medical history, and obtain your consent for treatment. Then, we will clean your skin before treatment and mark the muscles with a white pencil.
In order to determine your specific anatomy and where the movement is, the doctor may ask you to move your muscles, such as frowning, smiling, or raising your eyebrows. Each muscle will receive a small injection.
After treatment, the area will be cleaned, and a smoothing gel will be applied.
