Botulinum toxin (Botox) treatment is arguably the most popular cosmetic medical treatment for wrinkles and facial lines in the United Kingdom. It can be used successfully in combination with other anti-ageing treatments such as dermal fillers.
Treatment is a simple, non-surgical procedure that creates smooth persistent lines between your eyebrows, on your forehead and crow’s feet around your eyes. A treatment session consists of a few tiny needle pricks into the muscles that initially caused the lines to form. The entire treatment time is very quick and is over in seconds. The mode of action is by causing complete relaxation of the muscles under the facial skin responsible for the lines. Formed by the pulling action of these muscles, these facial lines will then disappear or diminish altogether.
