Anti-Wrinkle Treatment

During the anti-wrinkle procedure, several small injections of botulinum toxin are made into the muscles where fine lines and wrinkles appear.

This protein fits exactly into receptors in the nerve endings of those muscles. This prevents the release of a chemical substance known as acetylcholine, which makes muscles contract and move.

Relaxing these muscles will help smooth the wrinkles – such as frown lines and crow’s feet – that are caused by repeated muscle contraction

Certain areas of the face often develop wrinkles or deep lines as a result of making the same facial movement, many thousands of times, over the years.

Relaxing muscles in your face can improve your appearance in a number of ways. Treatment prevents repetitive creasing of the skin; allowing the body’s natural repair process to lay down collagen across a wrinkle, reducing its depth.

Muscles that pull the eyebrows down can be released, allowing a flattering upward lift. Frowning muscles which are fixed in a negative expression can be relaxed, making the face look happier.

Botulinum toxin can be used to treat crow’s feet, frown lines, forehead lines, lip lines and other common ‘wrinkle zones’. Botox can also be used to lift areas of the mouth, chin and neck.
