What is Botulinum Toxin?
Botulinum Toxin is a naturally occurring protein derived from the Bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. The popular brand names used in the UK are BOTOX, DYSPORT VISTABEL and AZZALURE. When used cosmetically, it can smooth out dynamic lines, restoring a more youthful, less stressed expression to your face.

Is Botulinum Toxin safe?
Botulinum Toxin injections have been used safely and effectively by trained medical practitioners for over 20 years. Tens of thousands of patients receive Botox treatment every year making it the number one cosmetic procedure in the UK. It is licensed to treat many medical conditions, and can be safely given to children as young as 2.

How does Botulinum Toxin work?
Whenever you laugh, frown, concentrate or squint your facial muscles contract and your skin creases. As you get older your skin loses its elasticity and those creases deepen into lines that become permanently etched on your face. Frown lines between your eyes can become particularly noticeable at a relatively young age, making you look angry, worried or stressed even when you're not.

By injecting tiny amounts of Botulinum Toxin very precisely into specific facial muscles, the nerve impulses responsible for contraction of these muscles are blocked. This causes a temporary weakness or paralysis of that muscle resulting in the overlying skin becoming smooth and unwrinkled.

What are the benefits?
By relaxing the muscles that cause frown lines, forehead lines and crows feet:

• The skin appears dramatically smoother


• Facial lines disappear or diminish dramatically in just a few days
  


• The creation of more wrinkles is prevented
  


• Normal activities can be resumed immediately
  


• It only takes a few days for the injections to begin to take effect and 14 days for full effect

Preparing for the treatment 
During your consultation a full medical history will be taken to assess your suitability, and the benefits and potential side effects will be discussed in full.

What is the treatment like?
Tiny micro-needles are used so discomfort is minimal. No sedation or local anaesthetic is required and treatment takes around 10 minutes.

After the treatment
You can resume normal activities, drive yourself home or return to work immediately after the treatment. Exercise should be avoided for 4 hours after the treatment, and the area should not be touched in this time. You should also avoid laying down. It is safe to fly after the treatment although we generally recommend that you wait 24 hours. You are advised to attend for a review 2-3 weeks after your first treatment.
