Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Cosmetic Uses:

• Wrinkle Reduction: Botox is most commonly known for its ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It is effective in treating:

  • Forehead Lines: These are horizontal lines on the forehead caused by raising eyebrows.

  • Glabellar Lines: Vertical lines between the eyebrows, often known as “frown lines.”

  • Crow’s Feet: Lines around the eyes that become prominent when smiling or squinting

  • Lip Flip: Botox can also be used to curl up the upper lip to give an enhanced lip appearance / help to reduce the appearance of a 'gummy smile'.

• How Botox Works:

• Botox binds to nerve endings, preventing the release of acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction). This results in muscle relaxation and reduced wrinkles.

• Effects become noticeable within a few days to a week after injection, with full results seen within two weeks. The effects typically last three to six months, depending on the individual and treated area
