Information

Wrinkle reduction, by the use of muscle -relaxing injections can help to turn back the clock on lines and wrinkles but can also further refine and enhance your features.

They can also help with medical related issues including teeth grinding (Bruxism), Migrains, tension headaches and excessive sweating.

However most of us use Muscle relaxing injections to help hold back the visible signs of aging.

If you're tired of looking tired anti-wrinkle injections are a simple, rapid and targeted way of softening muscles action and lines, achieving a more smooth youthful skin that you desire.

This procedure can help with:

SMOOTHING THE FOREHEAD AND THE AREA AROUND THE EYES
If you've developed lines and wrinkles between your eyebrows, across your forehead or around your eyes, we can treat them easily with muscle relaxing injections. And you won't look 'frozen'; our skilled technique gently softens lines, so you'll still have plenty of natural movement in your face.

OPENING YOUR EYES: Give a wider-eyed look when smiling


IMPROVING YOUR SMILE LINE
Lower face injections can significantly improve your smile-line and chin position and reduced dimpling of the mentalis muscle - it also reduces the formation of crepe-like skin around the mouth and inhibits the formation of marionette lines.

GIVE DEFINITION TO YOUR JAWLINE AND NECK
The Nefertiti Lift can improve neck wrinkles and can redefine the neck and jawline to provide a subtle lift for jowls without the need for surgery. Through the application of small, targeted injections, we can reduce the downward pulling effect of strong neck muscles to achieve a wonderfully uplifted effect.

CORRECTING A GUMMY SMILE
If you show a little too much gum when you smile, we can inject tiny amounts of a muscle-relaxing treatment to reduce the upper lip's elevation. The result? A balanced, beautiful smile.

CORRECTING BUNNY LINES
Little lines across the nose can be softened, giving a youthful appearance.

REJUVERNATING THE TOP LIP (WITHOUT FILLERS)
This can give a subtle lip-flip to the top lip and correct small lines around the top lip. This give the mouth a younger and softer appearance. The result is both subtle and significant. This is also a fantastic treatment to reduce fine vertical lines on the upper lip.

LIFTING THE BROWS
Drooping eyebrows can make you look tired and older than you feel. With a few small muscle relaxing injections, we can provide a subtle lift, opening up your eyes for a more youthful and alert appearance.

SLIMMING THE FACE
Sometimes, an overdevelopment of the chewing muscles can make your face look wider than you'd like. In certain instances, we can apply a muscle relaxing treatment to give your face a slimmer, softer shape.


All results can vary from person to person, however we always aim to give you the results you desire.

Complications can occur, but we try to minimise any risks and honestly discuss these with you at your consultation.

There are many different makes of botulinum toxin to help reduce muscle actions that can cause wrinkles. Some of the most popular brands are Botox (the original) and Bocouture ( which is a very well established and popular brand) and Azzalure . These aid muscle relaxation and we can offer these.
Bocouture is often favoured by some people as it does not contain proteins that are potentially thought to cause anti-body formation. However this protein may possibly be helpful in the adequate functioning of the active protein - which may possibly mean the results could be slightly different between products.

These options will be discussed with you prior to your treatment during the consultation.


Factors affecting the longevity of your Botox injections.
Metabolism: Different people have different metabolic rates. However, most people metabolize the product in 3 to 4 months.

Forehead Lines: The longevity of the Botox also depends on the size and depth of your forehead lines. Mild forehead lines may remain suppressed for longer, but deeper lines and stronger muscles from excessive use may become visible sooner.

Activity Level: Exercising is important. However, excessive workouts may lead to increased muscle contractions that make the Botox wear off faster.

Dosage: The Botox longevity also depends on the Botox dosage. A lower dosage may be preferable for subtle results, but the effects may also wear off sooner. Meanwhile, a higher dosage lasts longer, but it also runs the risk of overcorrection. It is important to
discuss the dose is given in line with a an individual's desire for either 'natural' looking subtle results compared to a 'frozen' type look. This is discussed at the initial Consultation.

Expressions: The forehead lines strengthen and deepen the more you use your facial expressions. As such, you can make your Botox last longer by limiting your expressiveness — you can also communicate your expressions without raising your eyebrows. If you have a very expressive face, your muscles may be larger and more dominant. This can impact the longevity.

Stress: Botox results seem to
fade away faster if you're stressed or ill.

Frequency: The frequency of your Botox injections also determines the treatment's longevity. People who get maintenance treatments every 2 to 3 months (before the previous results wear off) can maintain the results for over a year. An initial treatment can be seen to wear off sooner, as muscles can still be very strong and potentially dominant. They have not been repeatedly softened by injections.
