Wrinkle softening with Botox\u00ae<\/h2>\n

Anti-wrinkle injections\u00a0are commonly referred to as\u00a0‘Botox’<\/strong> injections. They relax the upper face muscles, smoothing out wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyes, and around the eyes.<\/p>\n

With a quick procedure and undeniable results, it is easy to see why anti-wrinkle injections are the most popular cosmetic treatment in the UK. By relaxing the facial muscles, wrinkles are made less visible; this results in a natural, rejuvenated look.<\/p>\n

how does it work?<\/h3>\n

Botulinum Toxin is injected with a very fine needle and is a quick and convenient way to smooth out lines around the face without any need for surgery. After the injections, the muscles will relax and the skin will smooth out over the next 5-10 days. The result is a softer, more relaxed and healthier appearance. The effect usually lasts between four to six months and can be repeated when needed. Most patients require less frequent treatments over time as the muscles \u2018retrain\u2019 and weaken from disuse.<\/p>\n

The procedure is one of our most popular due to its fantastic results and can be done on a lunch break. It requires no anaesthesia or recovery time.<\/p>\n
