WHAT ARE ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS (BOTOX)
Anti Wrinkle Injections commonly known as Botox is a drug made from a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum called botulinum toxin. It is used medically to treat certain muscular conditions and cosmetically to remove wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing muscles.
Botox relaxes facial muscles resulting in a smoothing of the skin and reducing the lines we create when we make facial expressions. Frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles can all be significantly reduced by injecting tiny amounts of botox with a very fine needle.
THE PROCEDURE AND RECOVERY
Within the first few days you will see a marked improvement that may continue to improve for as long as a week. A review appointment will be arranged for you after 2 to 3 weeks to check the results of your and have a FREE top up.
Results should last up to 4 months and longer in patients who have had anti-wrinkle treatments regularly. Botox relaxes the overactive muscles whose repeated contractions cause the lines to form. You will still be able to make all facial expressions, without the creases and wrinkles you saw before. Anti Wrinkle Injection’s are available at Kerrie Lynch Aesthetics, Dryoslden, Manchester.
