Feel Refreshed, Look Radiant
This popular treatment is used to rejuvenate the skin and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Botulinum toxin is carefully injected into targeted facial muscles to temporarily reduce the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). It can also be used around the outer corners of the eyes to smooth crow’s feet, helping to create a more refreshed and youthful look.
What is Botulinum toxin and how does it work?
Botulinum toxin, is a natural, purified protein that is used to temporarily relax facial muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. It can also be used to treat medical conditions such as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
What does the treatment involve?
While there is no real downtime associated with this treatment, you may encounter some bruising and swelling directly after treatment, due to the needle. This can easily be covered by makeup. There are no long-term side effects of having wrinkle injections, meaning you can resume usual activities straight away, and can also fly post-treatment.
How long does the effect of this treatment last?
The duration of results is variable in between individuals but ranges from 3 to 6 months.
Who should avoid this treatment?
Those who have medical conditions, such as damaged nerves or muscle complaints, should disclose this information during consultation, to avoid any complications.
