Wrinkle Reduction
Facial lines are caused by contractions of the delicate underlying facial muscles every time you smile, laugh or frown. As the skin becomes less elastic over time, repeated contraction of the facial muscle may cause visible lines and wrinkles, even when the muscles are at rest.

When small doses of Botox are injected into the skin, Botox blocks the action of the nerves that supply the muscle. The muscle contraction is reduced allowing the skin to relax and the lines to soften. The effects of Botox wear off after a few months, therefore, the treatment has to be repeated if the desired effect is to be maintained. A small amount of Botox is injected into the individual facial muscle responsible for the lines using a tiny needle. The injections are virtually painless. We use the original Botox made by Allergan who also make Vistabel, the same product.
For the first treatment we prefer to under treat to assess how much you need, as every one is different, and add more if necessary at the review, appointment two weeks later. You notice the effect of Botox 2-3 days later with the full effect seen after 2 weeks. The first course of treatment lasts 3-4 months but as the treatment is repeated the muscles become more relaxed and after about 12 months the treatment can last up to 6 months. Movement may return a little sooner, especially the first time, but this does not mean the Botox has stopped working. The result is better when keeping to regular treatment rather than letting the Botox wear off completely. The muscle action does not become overpowering again and less Botox is needed.
