Reducing lines

One of the underlying causes of linesis that some of the muscles which move your skin have been used sofrequently – when you raise your eyebrows, frown, laugh or smile, theystop functioning as they should. Your skin loses its ability to relaxback into place and regain its former smoothness and you developpermanent creases. It’s a condition which develops with age because theproblem is cumulative, increasing with the number of times your musclesmove, while age also weakens your muscle tone.

Aneffective solution to this problem is a muscle-relaxant injection(botox) by our Cosmetic Specialist into the affected areas of your facethrough ultra-fine needles. This process usually leaves no mark thoughthere may occasionally be a very small red pinprick which soondisappears.

As your muscles relax, your skin begins torelax and rediscover its natural suppleness, softness and smoothness, aprocess which takes 2-7 days.

The effects last for up tosix months, when the treatment will need to be repeated. However, theeffects of the second and subsequent treatments normally last forconsiderably longer than the original six months.

Theinjections are normally pain-free. The procedure takes only a shorttime and there are seldom any side-effects. If you have a job, you caneasily have the procedure done in your lunch hour and go straight backto work.
