Anti-Wrinkle Treatments
Botulinum Toxin A (Botox) has been used for over 20 years to successfully treat facial lines. Botox temporarily weakens and relaxes the muscles that cause frown lines and wrinkles, resulting in a dramatically smoother, fresher, younger-looking appearance, without affecting normal facial expressions.
Most clients opt for a very natural look; nevertheless, the effects of Botox are outstanding which is why this is the most popular cosmetic treatment in the world.
Anti-Wrinkle Treatments
The most common facial areas for treatment are:
-
Frown lines between the eyebrows
-
Crow’s feet or smile lines around the eyes
-
Horizontal forehead lines
​
Frown lines, lip lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet lines become deeper and more pronounced as we age; This is because we keep using these muscles when we laugh, frown or purse our lips.
Botulinum toxin A (Botox) has been licensed for the temporary improvement in moderate to severe lateral canthal lines (crow’s feet), glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows) and horizontal forehead lines.
There are other areas which are commonly treated with botulinum toxin. Gummy smiles, Bunny lines, Smoker’s/Lip lines, Platysmal bands (turkey neck), Slimming of the jawline, Chin dimpling, Brow lifting, and Excessive Sweating can all be treated with toxin. Although this is ‘off label’ (not specifically licensed for this treatment), these are well established and have evidence to support their use.
Botulinum toxin is injected, using a fine needle, into the target muscle to temporarily block the nerve signal, resulting in weakening of the muscle action which can result in an improvement in the appearance of lines of facial expression. Botulinum toxin can only treat lines of expression - dynamic lines, and not static lines.
