Services - Botulinum toxin type a

Wrinkles develop for a multitude of reasons.   As we age we develop fine lines in areas where muscles are active.  For example as we smile our eyes crinkle and cheeks raise, causing lines to appear at the corners of our eyes.  Most people call these crows feet.  The more we use these muscles the deeper the lines become.  Other factors that effect how our skin looks as we age include gender, skin type and sun exposure.  

Lifestyle also plays an important part on skin ageing.  If you are a smoker, consume excess alcohol, have a poor diet and fluid intake or a poor skin care regime, these factors can all negatively impact your skin and effectively age you prematurely.

As a medical aesthetician I can help treat the appearance of these bothersome lines by injecting a toxin into the underlying muscle, effectively paralysing the muscle and smoothing out the lines.

Don't worry the effect is temporary!  As the toxin wears off you will notice movement back in the area, but also a return of the lines.

It takes about two weeks to reach peak effect (unless you've been having toxin injections for a long time) and the effects can last up to four months.  I would recommend regular treatment to keep your skin looking fresh and line free.

This treatment may not be suitable for everybody.  I carry out a full physical and psychological assessment of all clients to ensure the treatment is right for them.  I have a policy of absolute honesty and if I don't feel that you would be a suitable candidate I would let you know.
