Botox® (Botulinum toxin) is a simple, non-surgical procedure that softens the fine lines or wrinkles caused by facial expressions, stress and sun. We cannot fight age, but we can improve how we look. Botox® is a natural, purified protein that relaxes the facial muscles that cause problem wrinkles, creating a smooth, rejuvenated and more youthful appearance. It has been used for many years by opthalmologists and neurologists to treat muscle spasms and for cosmetic enhancement since the early 90s.

It is the repeated contracting of facial muscles that cause frown lines, horizontal forehead lines and crows feet. Botox® simply blocks the signals from the nerves that cause these contractions. After a few simple injections, the fine facial muscles become relaxed within days, allowing the skin contours to gradually even out. Wrinkles soften and further creases are prevented. This effect can last anywhere between 3-6 months depending on the individual and gradually longer with repeated treatments as part of a Botox® maintenance program. Our aim is to recreate a natural, more youthful appearance without being obvious.
