Wrinkle Reduction (Botox®)
The appearance of wrinkles and facial lines are attributed to the ageing process, muscle activity and genetic predisposition. Additional factors such as sun exposure and smoking further contribute to the development of wrinkles. As we get older, these lines become deeper and more pronounced through constant use.
Botulinum toxin A injection (Botox®, Vistabel®, Xeomin®, Azzalure®, Dysport®) is probably the most popular cosmetic medical treatment for facial lines and wrinkles in the UK and can be used successfully in combination with other skin rejuvenation treatments. It relaxes the muscles that caused those lines to form. This softens the lines and wrinkles that are formed by muscle activity such as frown lines between eyebrows, crow's feet around the eyes and horizontal forehead lines.
We also use Botulinum toxin A for reduction of underarm excessive sweating.
