Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Botulinum Toxin
Botulinum toxin is a naturally occurring protein produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum. In a purified form, the botulinum toxin is a very safe, effective treatment to significantly reduce the movement of the muscles causing expression lines. All botulinum toxins are prescription only medications. You will need to attend a consultation at least 48 hours before your treatment date.

How Does It Work?
Botulinum Toxin injections work by gently relaxing the muscles responsible for dynamic lines and wrinkles. The treatment uses a purified protein to temporarily block the nerve signals to targeted muscles, preventing them from contracting as strongly. This allows the overlying skin to soften and prevents deeper lines from forming.
Results typically begin to appear within 3-7 days, with full results visible at around 2 weeks, after which the treatment can be reviewed in the case more is needed.
