Our Botox Treatments
Botox is not a wrinkle removal cream or a new way to buff wrinkles away. Botox is a natural substance coming from a micro-organism that relaxes wrinkles from under the surface of the skin.
Small doses of Botox are injected directly into the muscle that controls the wrinkle. The Botox relaxes the muscle and the wrinkle is smoothed. Botox injections have been used safely and effectively for over ten years. Each year, thousands of patients receive Botox for a variety of facial aesthetic conditions. It is a popular treatment for the disappearance of frown lines, crow’s feet or wrinkles around the eyes, and forehead lines.
Fortunately, the effects of Botox last from three to six months. Further, the duration of treatment benefits increases over time so that fewer treatments are usually required in the future.
What will the procedure involve?
Botox is a simple and safe procedure. Using a tiny needle, a very small amount of Botox is injected into locations on the face. Because the needle is so fine and only a small amount of liquid is used, the pain associated with the injections is minimal.
Most patients compare the sensation to a bug bite. No sedation or local anaesthetic is required, and you can resume normal activities immediately.
You can even drive yourself home or back to the office.
