Wrinkles are caused by the contraction of facial muscles. During youth, as the muscles return to rest these disappear, however, as a result of the effluxion of time during the ageing process, these become permanent. Botox reverses this by relaxing the muscles and hence removes the wrinkles.

Carefully administered, botox will provide a youthful fresh look to the face whilst allowing completely natural movement and expressions.

Side effects are rare but some patients may experience redness or bruising at the injection site. Occasionally patients have noticed a temporary itch. For some patients, their facial dynamics may not be well suited to Botox and this will be discussed during any consultation.
