Over time, our skin undergoes changes that reduce its elasticity and firmness. Collagen, a protein that gives skin structure and strength, diminishes as we age. Elastin, another protein responsible for skin’s flexibility, also decreases and additionally, factors like UV exposure, pollution, and lifestyle choices such as smoking can speed up this breakdown process. The result is thinner, less resilient skin, which leads to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.

Botulinum Type A Injections reduce expression lines with precision and are one of the most widely recognised anti-wrinkle treatments available. These injections work by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles using a purified protein derived from the bacterium clostridium botulinum. When administered in small, controlled doses, the product blocks nerve signals to targeted muscles causing a reduction in movement which helps to smooth the appearance of expression lines, especially in areas like the forehead, crow’s feet, and between the brows.

The results typically last 3-4 months, depending on individual metabolism and activity levels. Regular follow-ups help maintain smooth skin and can even prevent deepening of dynamic wrinkles over time.

Patients are initially invited for a consultation and facial assessment. This allows Dr Louise to go through exactly what you desire from the treatment, what results can be expected from the treatment, your suitability for the procedure, treatment costs and any further questions you may have.

Treatment itself is relatively quick and simple, but never rushed. Every patient is seen on an individual basis, with a bespoke treatment tailored to suit personal requirement.
