Most commonly referred to as its product name Botox, the cosmetic form of botulinum toxin is an increasingly popular alternative to surgery. Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerve impulses, therefore paralysing the muscles that cause wrinkles. Botox gives skin a smoother appearance and is mainly used on frown lines, forehead creases and crows feet around the eyes.

Minor Cosmetic Surgery

Botox reaches its maximum effect after 2 weeks and lasts for up to 4 months although this can vary. Eventually you will notice your wrinkles gradually reappear, a sign that the Botox is wearing off and it may be time for another injection if you wish to maintain the results.

It is always advised that your injection be administered by a surgeon, dentist, doctor or trained aesthetic nurse, with the relevant training to make educated alterations to the amount of Botox, based on your individual needs. The procedure is usually painless, and apart from some possible bruising, invisible.

Our resident surgeon initially qualified in 1992 and is on the General Medical Council Specialist Register, so you are safe in the knowledge that your procedure will be carried out by a thoroughly professional and experienced individual.
