If wrinkles are deep and have occurred for many years then Botox will help, but would be less effective than if it had been administered at an earlier date. This is where filler comes in. Deeper set wrinkles may require filler to help smooth them out. Often in this case Botox and filler are used in conjuction to get the best result.

Before any treatment you would have a full consultation to ensure you are happy and get the best results.  

Botox (Dysport,Azzalure,Bocouture)

Botox is the trade / brand name by which Botulinum Toxin A is widely known. It's early dominance (similar in many ways to Hoover) has led to the trade/ brand name becoming the name of the treatment. Other brands such as Dysport, Azzalurre, Bocouture etc are now becoming more prominent.

Botox has been used for a variety of medical conditions including blepharospasm and muscle spasticity for over 20 years.  By using the treatment in the facial muscles and forehead wrinkles are prevented, as they are a direct results of contracting forehead, eye and mouth muscles.

As Botox is a prescription drug it CANNOT be advertised in the same way as lip fillers for example. It cannot be mentioned on the front page of a website. Any mention of Botox has to be done in a balanced and factual way. This is why you will see this website regularly referring to anti wrinkle treatments. 

Please note that this page informs you of how Botox works and that prior to administration a consultation would be required with the doctor to determine suitability. 

This article  discusses treatment options that will encompass the problems and specific areas of concern that you may have.

Common Botox Treatment Areas:  

• Forehead Lines
• Glabellar Lines (Frown)
• Crow’s Feet (side of the eyes)
• Infra-orbital lines (below the eyes – subject to skin condition)
• Peri-oral lip lines (lipstick bleed lines – sometimes combined with dermal fillers)
• Chin puckering
• Nasal flaring

What types of wrinkles are there?

Vertical & horizontal

As vertical lines just above the nose, often referred to as “the elevens”; or horizontal rows across the forehead. The “elevens”, or glabellar lines, result from squinting, scowling, worrying.

The horizontal lines may result from normal animation while talking, or from holding the brows up with the primary muscle of the forehead (the frontalis) during times of stress, or just naturally. These lines are primarily the result of continual muscle contraction and can become very deep over time. Wearing sun glasses regularly in bright conditions can signicantly reduce the amount of frowning and squinting. 

  Who should not have Botox?

• People with infection at the proposed injection site.
• People who have previously had an allergic reaction to Botulinum toxin type A injections.
• People with muscle problems or chronic diseases affecting the muscles, such as Myasthenia Gravis, Eaton Lambert syndrome.
• Children under the age of 18 years.
• Women who are pregnant or breast feeding. 

How many Botox treatment sessions will I need? 

Botox normally takes effect within 3 to 4 days days. Botox injections are not permanent, so we recommend repeat treatments at 3-5 monthly intervals to maintain the effects.
