ADVANCED BOTOX

---

When some people smile, their upper lips widen too far exposing their gums, which can make people feel self conscious. This is due to hyperactive upper lip muscles. We think that no one should feel ashamed to smile, our advanced treatment injects the levator labii superioris muscles to lower the upper lips when smiling. This advanced treatment includes two sittings to ensure the best results are reached.

Do you wave up with a stiff painful mouth every morning due to teeth clenching and grinding overnight. It is obvious to realise that this is no good for your teeth but also causes ongoing pain.  This advanced treatment injects the massater muscle to reduce its size, reducing the square shaped jawline and providing a more smooth and rounded jawline.

When you scrunch your nose up lines appear around the bridge. Bunny lines can also be prominent on some people when they smile, with lines forming in the same direction as laughter lines. The Botox injection relaxes the muscles issuing this reaction. Injected into the top of the nose this is a treatment that is regularly forgotten about and often a tell tale sign of those who have had Botox. They focus on just the forehead and mouth lines forgetting the natural lines formed in the middle of the face.

This is a gathering of thin vertical lines stemming from the lips which is an affect of ageing that can occur in anyone but more common in those with a history of smoking. Lips tend to lose volume as we age and cause the mouth to be surrounded with fine lines by a repetitive bunching of the muscles around the mouth. This is one of our advanced Botox treatments due to the precision needed in injecting around the lip to cause the muscle tension to relax.

As we age the skin can fall downwards on the corners of our mouth. This causes a “downturned mouth” which can resemble an upset expression when relaxed. This is because the Depressor Anguli Oris muscle has been over worked and is causing the corners of the mouth to drop down. By relaxing this muscle with Botox it will lift back up to its natural position. Some like to do this treatment with a combination of dermal fillers to increase volume in this area.

As we age we start to lose collagen and elasticity around the face, causing certain features to drop and skin to become loose. As the mouth is a point of the face that is continuously working, a lot of the ageing can begin here. A puckered chin is when the chin easily forms large indents and lines when the mouth holds expression. This can be common in all ages but can progress as we age. Botox injections relax the muscles causing this effect on the face and can help to make the profile more defined.

Sweating is a natural occurrence in all of us. Whether it’s clammy hands or sweaty armpits, it happens to the best of us. Botox injections can be used to prevent sweat forming. Sweating can be embarrassing and some can find it more excessive than others, effecting daily life.

Botox injections into the armpit can temporarily stop this excessive sweating.

What is BOTOX?

Wrinkle Relaxing Injections know improve the appearance of moderate to severe facial lines caused by over active muscle movements that can cause the formation of fine lines and wrinkles in the forehead, crows feet (side of eyes) and between the eyes (Glabellar). This is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments available to achieve a less stressed, less tired and younger, fresher look.

How does it work?

A small amount of Botulinium Toxin is injected into specific over-active muscles in the face blocking the nerve impulses required to contract these muscles. This reduces the activity of the muscle that causes the formation of lines and wrinkles.

How long does the treatment take?

The treatment is painless and takes under 15 minutes to perform and normal activities can resume shortly after. The effects of treatment will take around 4 days post treatment to notice, usually lasting for around 3-6 months.

Are there any side effects?

As expected for any injection procedure, pain/burning/stinging, swelling and/or bruising may be associated with the injection. Side effects are usually minor lasting hours. If you are worried then speak to your medical practitioner.

Can I continue normal activities afterwards?

After treatment, please avoid extreme facial expressions, alcohol consumption and applying makeup for 12 hours. Please avoid extreme sun exposure, UV light, freezing temperatures and saunas for 2 weeks after treatment.
