Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
BOTOX® is a simple, non-surgical anti wrinkle treatment that can smooth lines for both men and women.
The treatment takes a matter of minutes and involves just
a few tiny injections and over a short period of time there’s
a noticeable improvement in facial lines, leading to a
smoother, more youthful complexion.
How long does it last?
The effects last for a few months, after which time the
treatment can be "topped up" for the benefit to continue.
Our Non-Surgical Treatments
What is BOTOX® ?
The treatment is a natural purified protein produced by the Clostridium Botulinum Bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause lines to form over time. It works by temporarily reducing the contractions of those muscles that can cause permanent lines to create a smoothed, rejuvenated appearance. When injected into a muscle, it temporarily blocks the chemical signals that make the muscle contract. Only minute quantities of BOTOX® are injected and only the injected muscle will be affected.
What areas does it work on?
The treatment is used to treat facial lines caused primarily by facial muscles. An example of this is deep creases between the eyebrows, crows feet wrinkles and forehead lines. The appearance of these lines can be dramatically softened with the use of BOTOX®.
In addition, BOTOX® can also be used in the treatment of hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, where it is injected into the underarm area to stop problem perspiration.
How long does it take?
The anti-wrinkle treatment itself takes just a few minutes. You will see an improvement in the appearance of your skin within days and the results can last up to 3-5 months. In your consultation, your aesthetic nurse will assess your muscle movement by asking you to frown or smile. This will determine the injection site to achieve the best results for you. BOTOX® is then administered by several tiny injections which literally feel like a pin-prick. No anaesthetic is required and you can return to work or day to day activities immediately.
Is BOTOX® Safe?
BOTOX® has an excellent safety profile and has been actively used for over 10 years in tens of thousands of patients worldwide. It has US FDA and European approval (including France and Switzerland). BOTOX® has now been licensed in the UK for the cosmetic treatment of Glabella lines. It is also now called VISTABEL. It is also used in a variety of therapeutic areas. e.g. it is one of the few treatments that can be given to treat children over 2 years of age to treat Cerebral Palsy - BOTOX® helps them to walk!
When will I see results?
Usually on day 2, though it will take up to 14 days for the full results to be apparent.
What else should I know?
To complement your BOTOX® treatment, you may also consider the use of dermal fillers i.e. Juvederm®, which add plumpness to laughter lines, smile lines, crow’s feet or deep creases. You may also be considering a surgical approach to holding back the years e.g. face lift or brow lift. BOTOX® is an excellent complement to these to enable you to get the most out of your treatment.
What's the difference between Juvéderm® ULTRA and wrinkle-relaxing treatments (i.e. BOTOX®)?
BOTOX®) wrinkle-relaxing treatments (botulinum toxin type A) and facial fillers such asJuvéderm® ULTRA work in different ways.
-
BOTOX® - works in a targeted way to relax the tiny dynamic muscles that cause frown lines
-
Juvéderm® ULTRA fills in and smoothes away deep facial lines you can see when your face is still and lost volume caused by caused by sun damage, smoking, ageing and genetics. They can also be used to add volume to lips or cheeks

Anti Wrinkle Treatment
BOTOX® is a simple, non-surgical, anti wrinkle treatment that can temporarily smooth lines for both men and women. One 10-minute treatment, a few tiny injections, and within days there's a noticeable improvement in those persistent frown lines.
The treatment is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those lines to form over time. It works by temporarily reducing the contractions of the muscles that cause persistent lines. Within days you should see an improvement that can last up to around 6 months.
Fillers
As we age, the underlying tissues that keep our skin looking youthful and plumped up begin to break down, often leaving laughter lines, smile lines, crow’s feet or deep creases over the areas where movement occurs.
Juvederm ULTRA® injectable fillers can help fill in these lines and creases, temporarily restoring a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance. When injected beneath the skin, fillers plump up creased and sunken areas of the face.
They can also be used to add fullness to the lips and cheeks to improve the overall appearance of the face.
Injectable fillers may be used alone or in conjunction with a resurfacing procedure, such as a skin peel treatment, or following a surgical procedure, such as a facelift. These products are of non-animal origin so avoid the necessity for an allergy test.
NEW Juvéderm® ULTRA
Juvéderm® ULTRA is a new non surgical injectable gel treatment that not only fills wrinkles effectively but gently, as it is the only hyaluronic acid dermal filler to contain local anaesthetic lidocaine, making the injection process particularly gentle. Juvéderm® ULTRA is an advanced smooth formulation effective for longer lasting correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peel is most commonly performed to enhance your appearance and your confidence. A formula is applied which gently removes the top layer of skin to leave a fresher complexion and smoother, brighter looking skin.
Hyperhidrosis
The main reason to have this form of treatment is to treat unsightly and embarrassing excessive perspiration in the underarm area, otherwise known as hyperhidrosis. The area is injected with botox, which reduces sweating in the area for up to 6 months.
