Botox - relaxing the muscles that cause the lines

Botox is the treatment A-list celebrities swear by and is one of the most affordable and effective treatments available. When injected by our qualified Doctors, Botox leads to a temporary muscular relaxation in the areas of the face where lines are appearing, which in turn softens lines and contours. The most popular areas to treat are crow’s feet, frown lines and other facial wrinkles. The north wood clinic offers patients Botox treatments in London

what is Botox?

Botox is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. Botox is a non-surgical, doctor-administered treatment that can temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. During treatment, very low doses of Botox are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause those stubborn lines. A Botox treatment is usually done in about 10 minutes, and no recovery time is needed. Within days, you may see an improvement that can last up to 4 months.

how does Botox work?

Those moderate to severe frown lines between your brows form over time as the result of muscle activity. Botox is injected directly into the muscles between your brows. It works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles; this reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those persistent lines to form.

when will I see results from a Botox treatment?

Within days of receiving Botox injections, you may see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. Lines continue to improve for up to a month, and results can last for up to 4 months.

how long does Botox last?

Results from treatment with Botox can last for up to 4 months. If you discontinue Botox treatment, the frown lines between your brows gradually will look like they did before treatment.

who should administer Botox?

A detailed knowledge of facial anatomy and experience injecting Botox is essential. The Doctors that administer BOTOX at the North Wood Clinic are very experienced in their specialist medical fields which means that they have a detailed
knowledge of facial anatomy to do their non Botox related work.

who should not use Botox?

Botox should not be used in the presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s) and in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the formulation. Patients with neurological disorders such as ALS, Myasthenia Gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk of serious side effects.

will I experience any side effects?

Side effects are very rare after Botox treatments, however very occasionally side effects can include headache, respiratory infection, flu syndrome, temporary eyelid droop, and nausea.

will my facial expressions continue to look natural?

Although the results are visible, a treatment with Botox will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look as if you "had work done." The muscle activity that causes frown lines between the brows is simply reduced, so you can still frown or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases between your brows.

what will happen to the frown lines between my brows if I choose not to continue Botox treatments?

If you do not continue treatments, the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows will gradually look like they did before Botox treatment.
