The phenomenon of wrinkle relaxing injections, or botox as it is commonly known, originally swept America before coming to the UK and making its name as one of the most popular cosmetic procedures of today. Botox is a fast, simple and effective way to temporarily alleviate unwanted lines and wrinkles around the face and eye area, leaving a natural looking smoother expression. Frown lines and wrinkles are caused by overactive muscle activity beneath the skin, which over time gives the effect of ageing. Botox works by relaxing these muscles with a small injection of medicine, which consists of purified proteins taken from the Clostriduim botulinum bacterium; a toxin preventing the contraction of muscles. The amount of botulinum in a botox treatment so small that it is barely detectable and the risk to the patient is extremely minimal. As a patient you should have a full consultation with your practitioner prior to the procedure to determine which areas to treat. Everyone’s face is different and therefore particular attention will need to be paid to your features before administering the botox injections. The treatment itself consists of a number of small injections to the face around the areas containing frown lines and wrinkles. This takes round about 10-15 minutes, after which you can return to your daily routine. You will not need rest and recovery time, and are unlikely to experience much in the way of side effects beyond some possible minor bruising or redness where the injections have been administered. For some the effects will be immediate, and for others may take a few days to show. The treatment itself lasts up to around three or four months, after which your face will return to its original appearance. For safe, fast and effective treatments, at botonics our practitioners are on hand to provide wrinkle relaxing injections for a youthful appearance.
