Botulinum Toxin Type A is a neuromodulator that works by blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, causing them to relax. This relaxation helps soften the appearance of dynamic lines—the wrinkles and creases that form with facial expressions such as frowning, squinting, or smiling.

Anti-wrinkle injections are most effective in treating these expression lines, and with regular treatments, can help prevent wrinkles from deepening over time.

FAQs

How do they work?

Botox ® acts by temporarily blocking the nerve signals in the muscle and as a result of this it reduces the muscle activity and in turn smooths wrinkles. The injection is precise and must be accurate for the best result.

Botox ® can be used by adults over the age of 18. For dynamic wrinkles this can be administered to help soften these lines. It can also be used for excessive sweating under the armpits and also for clenching and grinding of the teeth in the masseter muscles.

Botox ® tends to work within the first 7 days but onset can vary with some people seeing a result within a day and others needing longer up to 2 weeks.

Usually, one treatment is sufficient however a top up appointment is given to review the Botox ® and see if further treatment is required.

Botox ® may last anywhere between 3-4 months depending on how quickly the body metabolises it and this vary individual to individual.

The complications are rare when Botox ® is administered correctly, but there can be some potential side effects.

These include bruising, pain and discomfort at the site of the injection, eye lid drooping, crooked smile and asymmetry, eyebrow dropping, spock eyebrows, allergic reactions, headache and flu-like symptoms.
