Why Choose Botox® for Anti-Wrinkle Treatment?​​

When injected, Botulinum Toxin commonly referred to as Botox® is very effective at temporarily relaxing muscles. It is the action of relaxing these facial muscles that reduces the facial lines and skin wrinkles that are commonly present as we age. If you're looking to smooth out those wrinkles and fine lines, Botox® can be a good option. It's perfect for both men and women and offers a hassle-free way to enhance your appearance.

How Anti-Wrinkle Treatment Works:
The Science Behind Botox®​

Now, let's get into the nitty-gritty. Botox® works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles. It uses a purified protein to block nerve signals in the targeted muscles, which reduces their activity and smooths out the skin. By relaxing the muscles, it prevents them from contracting and forming lines on your face. 

​

Benefits of Botox® Treatment:

Botox® is very effective at smoothing facial lines and wrinkles that have been caused by the repetitive movement of the upper face and we call these 'dynamic lines and wrinkles' because these are primarily caused over time by facial movement. The skin on your forehead and the skin between your eyebrows and around the eyes is laid over muscle and these muscles are moving all the time when you smile, frown, and grimace. Over time it is this repeated dynamic activity that causes skin to crease eventually forming the lines and wrinkles. Subsequent relaxation of the muscle following a Botulinum Toxin injection reduces this muscle activity and it is this that helps to stop the skin from forming those creases and lines, and in time the lines will appear smoother and reduce in appearance. You can get the treatment done in a short appointment and go about your day with minimal downtime.​​
