Anti wrinkle treatment
The injectable agent Botulinum Toxin (known as Botox or Dysport) can be used to restore, smooth or redefine facial contours. Typical areas for treatment are the forehead where wrinkles often occur, frown lines between the eyebrows, crows feet lines at the sides of the eyes and smokers lines wrinkling the skin above the lips. The treatment is done by injection often without the need for any anaesthesia as the needles are very tiny. On average it takes about 30 minutes to perform the treatment and the results are typically visible after one week. As the result cannot be seen immediately we would normally wish to schedule a review appointment so that we can see the results at one week and touch ups can be done where necessary. The effects tend to last for 3 - 4 months.

Side effects very rarely occur but may include localized temporary bruising that can be reduced by the use of ice after the injection and some swelling or local irritation may be possible but again very rarely. There will be a thorough discussion of the process and side effects when you meet for your consultation prior to the procedure.
