Facial lines and wrinkles are unfortunately a fact of life for both men and women with laughing, smiling, frowning and lifestyle choices all contributing to the ageing effect. Botox is one of the most popular treatments undertaken today in the search for the young, smooth and attractive look once more.
The injections are completely non invasive and are in many of the cases used to smooth away wrinkles being caused on the forehead area of the body. The effects can last for up to four months and prior to any procedure taking place a consultation is required.
There are a number of benefits that will be explained at your initial consultation with Mr Iqbal including the smoothing of wrinkles, crows feet and lines to provide a more youthful appearance, the prevention of further lines and wrinkles for a period of time and the fact that the procedure is non invasive and of very little discomfort to the patient.
Botox works by blocking the nerve impulses to the muscles, meaning the muscles then relax and in turn mean that the wrinkles also relax and turn smoother and soften giving the more youthful look.
Over time, your face will naturally start to develop fine lines and wrinkles as collagen and elastin break down. These fibres help support the skin structures which in turn help to maintain a smooth looking complexion. When the collagen and elastin fibres break down, skin loses its strength and elasticity and lines and wrinkles begin to appear.
Over exposure to high living, the sun, smoking and squinting all take their toll on your skin and in time will turn into the wrinkles and lines we dread. This is all part of the ageing process but this can be slowed in this area with the use of Botox.
Botox must be administered by a trained professional and at our clinic you can expect to be treated with the highest quality Botox in a safe and clinical environment.
The product is injected into the affected area using a fine needle. This may cause a small element of discomfort in some patients but this is very short lived. The process will take about 15 minutes with no requirement for a general or local anaesthetic.
You will be able to leave immediately after the treatment however we do ask that you keep your head tilted back as much as possible for 24 hours after the procedure.
