Rest assured, botulinum toxin is considered safe when administered by a qualified clinician. Cosmetic doses are administered in minuscule amounts, and with over 450,000 procedures performed annually in the UK, the incidence of allergic reactions is extremely rare.

Additionally, we offer dermal fillers and other treatments alongside or instead of botulinum toxin if we don’t think you’re a suitable candidate.

Anti-wrinkle treatments works by selectively denervating muscles when injected into them. It blocks the receptors for acetylcholine, a chemical responsible for muscle contraction, at the neuromuscular junction where nerves and muscles meet. This prevents the muscle from receiving the signal to contract, resulting in a relaxed and still appearance.

By targeting the muscles that cause skin creasing,  diminishing or even eliminate wrinkles. The effects typically last for 3-5 months, as the muscle gradually develops new receptors and regains its ability to contract.

It is most effective in treating lines formed solely due to muscle contractions. By immobilizing the underlying muscle, the skin above it no longer creases. Consequently, the noticeable effects of the treatment are most prominent in frown lines and laughter lines.

It’s important to note that anti-ageing treatments cannot remove wrinkles that are permanently etched into the skin, irrespective of muscle movement. However, it can soften their appearance.

The effects of anti-wrinkle treatments typically last around 3-4 months, although in some cases, they can last up to 6 months.

Th toxin naturally leaves the body within approximately 48 hours. However, the treatment’s impact involves trimming the receptors of the injected muscles. Over several months, these receptors gradually grow back. This trimming effect temporarily reduces the appearance of wrinkles and lines by limiting movement in the corresponding muscle.

Mostly the face where frequent movement can cause lines and wrinkles through expressions such as smiling and frowning. injections can effectively correct crow’s feet, forehead lines, vertical neck bands, grooves above the upper lip, and gummy smiles.  Additionally injections can also be used to address concerns about excessive sweating (typically hands, feet and underarms) and to reduce migraines.

Initial results are typically noticeable within 2-5 days following the treatment, and they continue to improve over the next 14 days, reaching their peak.

While some side effects may occur, they are primarily related to the injection process rather than the product itself. These can include minor redness or swelling at the injection site (which typically resolves within 1-2 hours), occasional minor bruising, headaches, and a very low risk of infection at the entry point. In extremely rare cases, temporary drooping of the eyelid may occur.

Although botulinum toxin is generally considered safe, not everyone is an ideal candidate. Women who are pregnant and/or breastfeeding, individuals with neurological conditions like Myasthenia Gravis and Parkinson’s Disease, those taking specific antibiotics (particularly Erythromycin), and individuals using blood-thinning medications such as Warfarin or Heparin should avoid the treatment.

Typically, the process takes around 10 minutes. However, for new customers, a 45-minute appointment is usually scheduled to allow for additional consultation and assessment.
