Crows feet (lines fanning out from the outer edge of the eyes running toward the temples and cheeks), some people regard them as a sign of wisdom, but if you’d rather they were gone, they are generally simple to treat.

These vertical lines between the eyebrows can make us look a little fretful, as well as pulling our eyebrows down to a less flattering position.

One of the simplest treatments for these lines is botox. This is one of the easiest and most effective areas to treat with anti-wrinkle injections as there also tends to be a lifting and shaping effect of the eyebrow which can be modified to give a more flattering brow line.

Sick of seeing those long lines across your forehead? Are they are ageing your youthful complexion? Well a few painless injections to that area may be the answer to your prayers. Botox works by relaxing the muscle which we contract several times a day and eventually causes us wrinkles. But by slowing down those muscles the lines can dramatically reduce and often disappear.

The botox brow lift or ‘chemical’ brow lift is a very popular technique. It can treat mild to moderate heaviness in the brow for those who want to avoid surgery. Botox is injected into the delicate muscles around the eye area. Once relaxed the muscles allow the overlying skin to become smooth. Wrinkles fade away and the brows are lifted giving a brighter more youthful appearance.

A bunny line is a horizontal wrinkle which forms across the ridge of the nose. Commonly, people have more than one bunny line, with the lines becoming apparent when the nose moves on the face, as it often does when people smile. The presence of bunny lines differs greatly from one person to the next. Some people hardly notice them with fine lines only appearing on the nose when it is scrunched. Others, however, have noticeable bunny lines that are visible with common, everyday facial expressions. Bunny lines are easy to treat using Botox.

One of the many effective uses of Botox is to slim the jawline; an increasingly popular treatment in our clinic.

A wide jawline can often be attributed to oversized massater muscles, the muscles involved in chewing and clenching the jaw, giving the jawline a square appearance. These muscles can be enlarged due to simple genetics or from overuse. This comfortable procedure is quick and easy to perform with no downtime and an immediate return to normal daily activities. It is less expensive than surgery and creates a noticeably slimmer jawline in a gradual, natural-looking way.

Results will take an average of 6 weeks to be appreciated as the massater muscle will gradually weaken and become slimmer. Results can last as long as 6 months. An added benefit to this procedure is relief of excessive grinding of the teeth and TMJ dysfunction or soreness.

Named after Queen Nefertiti due to her admired long neck and bone structure, this procedure involves Botox being injected along the jawline and in the platysma muscles in the neck area, to ‘lift’ and tighten the skin in the the neck and jaw area. By relaxing the muscles, the facial muscles create an upward pull, reducing sagging in areas to achieve a defined jawline.

The results should become apparent 2-3 weeks after treatment. You may need to top up the treatment approximately every 3-6 months to maintain the desired effect.

Excessive Sweating/Hyperhydrosis is not a temporary condition and can be very embarssing for both men and women. We have great news, we can treat it with botulinum toxin injections. Botox is a muscle relaxant that has been used by doctors in the UK for years to treat profuse sweating as well as other medical conditions.

*DISCLAIMER Patient experience and results may vary. These are dependent on a number of factors such as lifestyle, age and medical history.

Botox temporarily relaxes the muscle that causes an area of skin to crease. As a result, the offending wrinkle either dramatically fades or disappears altogether.

Botox can also be used to lift eyebrows and improve other areas of concern on the face.

Initial effects appear within 2-5 days and continue to improve for two weeks when they then reach optimal appearance.

We will see you again for a ‘top up’ between weeks 2 and 4 – at this point, we can tweak the botox as you wish. After the 4-week period a top-up will be ineffective.

Usually 3-4 months. In some cases, 6 months

No, we use the smallest needles on the market, so few customers experience even mild discomfort. Likewise, unlike some other operators, we also use a high turnover of needles per client, so bruising is minimised.

If you prefer, ice or local anaesthetic cream can be applied to minimise sensation.

Botox is used to relax wrinkles in the upper half of the face. Dermal fillers plump areas of lost volume, such as nose-to-mouth lines, or to enhance lips.

Botox is charged per muscle group – i.e. each individual area requiring treatment. If you need an immediate top-up for the same area, it is free of charge.

No, we are trained to preserve and maintain eyebrow movement, which is the key to creating natural expressions.

Yes, when a qualified Clinician administers it. The doses of Botox we use here are minuscule and over 450,000 UK procedures are performed each year. Allergic reactions are extremely rare.

As Botox has no recovery time, there is little aftercare required. Immediately following treatment, you can enhance its effects by gently moving the treated area with mild facial exercises. For the first 2 hours after treatment, it’s important not to rub the affected areas. For the succeeding 24 hours, don’t engage in any vigorous exercise, drink alcohol or experience prolonged sun exposure – whether natural or artificial.

Botox is broken down by the body during the first 48 hours of treatment, so does not accumulate in your system. Improved effects are visible with multiple treatments because the muscle is already relaxed from the previous session so your skin is creasing less and the wrinkles are not being reinforced.

No. Your face simply returns to how it was prior to treatment.

Some, but most are related to the actual act of injecting the skin, not the product itself. These include: minor redness or swelling around the injection site (which vanishes within 1-2hrs), minor bruising on occasions, headaches and a very small risk of infection around the entry point. In very rare cases, clients can experience a temporary droop of the eyelid.
