Botulinum Toxin

Botulinum toxin therapy is a simple non-surgical injection that takes away wrinkles and lines in both men and women. When injected into the wrinkles, the toxin proceeds to relax the muscles of the injected area, smoothing the skin and seeming to miraculously halt and even reverse the aging process.

The treatments performed are very safe. Typically, anaesthetics are not required, because the injection is delivered with an ultra-thin needle and in small doses. Botulinum toxin Cosmetic injections disrupt nerve signals to the muscles. The muscles are then allowed to relax, permitting the wrinkles to smooth out.

Usually noticeable in 2 to 3 days, the effects can last up to six months, fading gradually from there. Repeated treatments provide for more prolonged results, extending the time between injections.

The areas for which it is effective include:

  • Wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet)
  • Frown lines
  • Wrinkled forehead
  • Sides of the nose
  • Lower eyelids
  • Neck
  • Upper lip
