Botox Treatments

Botox (Botulinum toxin type A) is considered an exciting new treatment for wrinkles. Actually it has been used for several years to treat certain medical conditions. Its use as a cosmetic treatment was only discovered accidentally when doctors using it to treat facial muscle spasms noticed an improvement in facial wrinkles. Now Botox can be used in very small doses to effectively counteract the signs of ageing.

Making a difference
By injecting into specific areas Botox can reduce wrinkles around the forehead caused by frowning, laughter lines around the eyes and creases around the lips and nose. However, there are other uses for Botox. The chin or wrinkled neck can be smoothed, a 'gummy smile' can be aided by lowering the upper lip by 3-7mm and even excessive sweating can be prevented.

Hyperhydrosis
Botox injections can also be directed into the skin to block the action of the nerves that control your sweat glands. This will help excessive localised sweating (hyperhidrosis), especially severe underarm sweating. CLICK HERE for more information.
