What is Botulinum Toxin or Botox?

Botulinum Toxin, or Botox as it is commonly known, is a type of purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It is quite safe and is injected directly into facial muscles in very tiny amounts during treatment to remove the signs of lines, wrinkles and crows feet around the eyes.

How does it remove facial lines and wrinkles?

Botulinum Toxin, or Botox, works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the facial muscles that have been injected. This makes the muscles less active and therefore softens and smoothes the appearance of persistent lines and wrinkles.

How many treatments will I need?

In most cases patients can see a real difference after one treatment. This is because Botulinum Toxin or Botox works gradually, smoothing and softening lines and wrinkles for up to a month. Every face is unique of course and we’ll advise you on how many cosmetic facial treatments you’re likely to need and how often, depending on the results you’d like to achieve.

How long does Botulinum Toxin or Botox work for?

The effects of Botulinum Toxin or Botox often last up to four months, depending on the patient. If you decide to stop treatment, any permanent lines and wrinkles will gradually return.

Is the treatment painful?

It’s very rare for treatment with Botulinum Toxin or Botox to be painful. Most patients experience a feeling of slight discomfort during the treatment itself but that’s all. We will talk you through what to expect before your first injection of course, so you’ll be fully prepared prior to treatment.

Do wrinkle reduction treatments such as Botox actually work?

There’s several ways of reducing or removing wrinkles from your forehead and around the eyes, nose and mouth. One of the best-known treatments is Botox™, a muscle relaxant that is used to relax and soften ‘frown’ lines around the forehead and eyes. Whilst dermal fillers, such as Restylane are commonly used to ‘fill in’ and smooth wrinkles around the lower half of the face, such as the mouth. Although both treatments reduce or remove wrinkles, they work in a very different way.
