Anti Wrinkle Injections

The best time to consider having Botox® treatments is when you begin to notice dynamic lines and wrinkles that only appear in movement (such as smiling or frowning). This usually happens in your mid thirties, although it varies from person to person depending on genetic and lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, stress and smoking. Botox® works best at this stage, rather than waiting and trying to treat deep lines where the collagen in the skin is already damaged and the wrinkle appears even when your muscles and face are not moving.

The longer you wait, the more invasive the treatments for wrinkles become – for example dermal fillers are used when Botox® will not suffice.

Botox® is a treatment used to address both cosmetic and medical concerns. Common treatment areas include:

Frown lines – The lines that appear between the eyebrows

Crow’s feet – Wrinkles around the eyes

Forehead lines- The lines that appear when raising your eyebrows

Bunny lines – On the side of the nose when smiling

Necklines – Horizontal ‘necklace lines’ and vertical ‘platysmal bands’ 

Marionette lines- To lift upturned corners

Migraines

Enlarged jaw muscle – Due to excessive grinding

Hyperhydrosis- Excessive sweating

Yes, Botox®  can stop migraines before they even start. By blocking the release of pain-causing neurotransmitters and relaxing overactive muscles, it reduces tension build up that can trigger migraines. For optimal results, treatments are typically recommended every 12 weeks.

Yes, Botox® can effectively reduce excessive sweating by blocking the signals that the body sends to stimulate sweat glands. When injected into the skin, it helps control perspiration in targeted areas, with results typically lasting up to six months.

The Nefertiti Neck Lift is a specialised Botox® treatment that targets horizontal neck lines and vertical platysmal bands to create a smoother, tighter, and more lifted neck and jawline, restoring a youthful appearance.

Yes, when correctly injected, Botox can relax the muscles that pull up the upper lip, thus reducing the gums on show in a high lip line and even creates a slightly fuller looking lip.

After your Botox® treatment, we recommend gently using the muscles that were injected within the first hour. Simple movements like frowning, raising your eyebrows, or smiling can help encourage the product to settle more effectively and speed up the results.

To ensure the best results, you should avoid the following after your Botox treatment:

• Lying down for at least 4 hours
• Engaging in strenuous exercise for 24 hours
• Rubbing or touching your face for 24 hours
• Consuming excessive alcohol on the day of your treatment

Following these precautions helps prevent complications and allows Botox® to work effectively.
