BOTOX® therapy – for fine lines and wrinkles

Cosmetically we use BOTOX® therapy to relax the muscles in the face that create fine lines and wrinkles and to prevent further deepening of lines. It is a simple 10-minute procedure, with a few tiny injections directly into the muscles we want to treat. There is an art to BOTOX® therapy - to achieve the best, most natural looking results it must be placed in the right muscle, in the correct place, at an ideal dose, by an experienced doctor. The most common areas we treat are the frown line, or ‘grumpy lines’, the horizontal ‘worry’ lines on the forehead, and the ‘crow’s feet’ around the eyes.
