Many of us admit to wanting younger, softer and smoother skin, so it’s no surprise Botox has grown in popularity the last decade. Botox is a non-surgical treatment that helps banish the signs of ageing. The results are temporary, but you can choose to continue treatment and prolong the effects.
What exactly is Botox and how does it work?
Botox is an anti-ageing treatment that reduces the visibility of lines and wrinkles. Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. It is injected into certain areas of the skin using a fine needle. Botox softens wrinkles by relaxing the facial muscles. It does this by preventing the transmission of nerve signals to the muscles.
Botox treatment is a popular alternative to cosmetic surgery. The process is simpler and quicker and you can enjoy the results just days later. There’s no need to factor in recovery time with Botox, as you can return to your daily routine straight after treatment.
Botox is used to address lines on the forehead, around the eyes and between the nose and mouth.
What does treatment involve?
Botox treatment is straightforward and usually only takes around 15-30 minutes. Before treatment, you will have a consultation where we explain exactly what happens, how treatment works and what you can expect afterwards. We will also chat to you about the areas you want to treat. During the procedure we use a fine needle to carefully inject the Botox into the skin. The effects of treatment will become noticeable around 24-48 hours afterwards and should last 3-6 months.
