Botox

What is Botox®?

Worldwide, now more than 3 million Botox® treatments take place per year.

Botox® is a highly effective and can be used to treat lines and wrinkles such as crow’s feet, frown lines, forehead lines, bunny lines and frown lines, eyebrow rejuvenation and lip lines. Botox® (Botulinum toxin type ‘A’) is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacteria.

What does Botox treatment involve?

Botox® treatment takes around 15-30 mins to perform and is not painful as the needle is very fine.

The toxin is injected into a few specific points based on what concerns you may have.

You may feel a few small pinpricks but that’s it.

No anaesthetic is required.

How long will it last?

After your treatment it will take a few days (on average five) for you to start to notice the effect, and it can take up to two weeks for it to take full effect dependent on the individual.

Botox® lasts between three and five months as the toxin on temporarily blocks the signals from the nerve endings.

When they re-establish new signals, lines and wrinkles re-appear.
