Anti-Wrinkle Treatment

Botulinum toxin is the UK’s number one method for treating facial wrinkles and lines. Wrinkles are caused by repeated facial muscle contraction during expressions. Over time these lines become deeper and more prominent. When botulinum toxin is injected into these muscles it causes them to relax, in turn causing softening or disappearing of the facial lines and wrinkles depending on their depth. Additionally in a trained practitioner’s hands, botulinum toxin can also be used to relax muscles and by the action of opposing muscles create lifting affects. Treatment duration varies, but typically one course of botulinum toxin lasts four to six months.
