BOTOX®

Botox® is the trade name for Botulinum Toxin. It is a purified protein which, when injected with a very fine needle into selected muscle groups, relaxes and re-educates the muscles thus reducing the appearance of lines. The effect is particularly pleasing in the frown and worry lines of the forehead, the laughter lines or crows' feet and in certain areas around the mouth. Discomfort is minimal and the treatment is over in a matter of minutes.

Botox® is a prescription drug and it is unlawful for anyone other than a qualified doctor to administer. It is best to select a clinic registered with the HealthCare Commission as these clinics have been vetted and follow recognised protocols. Experienced aesthetically trained doctors provide the highest quality treatments.

A Botox® treatment is a simple, non-surgical procedure that smoothes the deep, persistent lines between your brows that develop over time. One 10-minute, relatively pain free, treatment -- a few tiny injections -- relaxes the muscles that cause those lines to form and keeps them relaxed up to 6 months.

The results are dramatic and apparent within days. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of the men and women surveyed rated the improvement in their brow lines as moderate to better. For many, BOTOX® virtually "erases" these lines.

Unlike surgery, BOTOX® is fast, simple, and minimally invasive, with no downtime or recovery. Most people return directly to work or normal activity following treatment. Within days, they report looking more natural and relaxed. With BOTOX®, they'll know you've done something, they just won't know what.
