Summary
The repeated use of facial muscles throughout our lifetime causes the skin to become creased in areas of greatest use and you may start to notice the appearance of fine lines under the eyes, crow’s feet, and wrinkles on the forehead. As we age, the production of collagen and elastin slows down and these areas of overuse become damaged, and the lines become permanent. Botox® treatment reduces the movement of muscles in these areas, preventing the skin becoming creased allowing the area to recover resulting in deep lines being softened and even helping soft lines to fade away in some instances.
Botox® injections are utilised to soften the appearance of deep and dynamic lines and sometimes erase fine lines all together.
The injections cause interfering of communication between the nerve impulse and the muscle. Small quantities are injected directly into the muscle which can make the final result look natural therefore making the treatment very safe and effective.
Botox® is a neurotoxin, which blocks the release of acetylcholine, and when injected accurately into the muscle, it interferes with the signal, which prevents the muscle from fully contracting. The injections, which are purified and used in very small quantities, are directly injected into the muscle. It cannot produce any permanent damage or travel within the body.
On average, the results from treatment tend to last 3 – 4 months although some patients may experience results that last a little shorter or longer than this time.
The Process
Prior to treatment, you will attend an Aesthetic Consultation with our Facial Aesthetic Clinician. Here we will discuss with you in detail your medical history, concerns and desired result and go through treatment, ensuring you are a safe and suitable candidate for Botox® treatment.
On the day of treatment we will review your treatment plan before proceeding to treat the areas agreed.
Small quantities of BoTox® are injected directly into the muscle.
If this is your first treatment with us, we will ask to see you in clinic again 2 – 3 weeks following treatment to ensure we have achieved the desired results from your treatment.

First class recommendation for My Eye Clinic and in particular Andrew Peel who was professional, knowledgeable very thorough. A pleasure to deal with!
So helpful and reassuring. My site is amazing. The whole process was so smooth, I understood everything that I was told and knew of any risks and potential side effects before agreeing to anything. Couldn't be happier.
I recently had permanent lens procedure carried out by Mr Ghosh. Having glasses as a child and contact lenses for many years, this has been an absolute revelation for me. Mr Ghosh was absolutely brilliant and very professional from the start. All the staff are lovely and especially like to thank Dianne, Anita and the team. This has changed my life for the better thanks.
Beautiful clinic, really nice atmosphere, prompt service and really friendly and professional staff. Fernando was particularly great!I would definitely recommend.
Excellent care, all staff very courteous and helpful. YAG surgery clearly explained to me by Mr Morgan, who did a brilliant job. I'd highly recommend this clinic.
I visited the My Hearing Clinic knowing I needed a hearing assessment but thinking it was just a build up of wax. It came as a shock that I heard a hearing loss which needed addressing. The service I received from Andrew was outstanding! He explained my hearing loss and went through all my options. He recognised that it was a lot of information to take in so made a follow up appointment, giving me sufficient time to think about what I wanted to do. From start to finish the service has been excellent, efficient, professional and friendly from the moment you walk through the door and meet Lee. The clinic is well located, parking on site, high standard of cleanliness. Definitely a recommendation from me. Thank you!
Absolutely first class treatment and experience at this wonderful clinic. Staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly Mr Morgan the consultant was lovely explaining everything. I had YAG laser treatment painless no discomfort and almost immediate corrected vision. Thank you all so very very much.
Visited clinic today with a totally blocked left ear. Had micro suction to remove a huge build up of ear wax. It was over in minutes. Excellent, efficient and friendly service from start to finish. Would recommend 100% Worth every penny!
