Botox® (Botulinum toxin) treatments to smooth lines around the eyes, forehead, lips and nose are hugely popular because they produce great results every time.
Used for over 30 years they are painless, quick and completely safe when in expert hands. Results are seen after just a few days and last at least three months, longer with regular treatments.
Treatment takes only a few minutes and leaves little trace - that means you can even pop in during a lunch break and keep it to yourself!

How it works
As the many muscles in your face contract to form expressions, they
wrinkle and crease the overlying skin. Over the years, these wrinkles
increase in severity and number. Botox® stops these muscles contracting
as strongly and so lessens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The use of Botox® early on can help reduce the number and severity of
future lines.
Because Botox® affects contraction of muscles, it is used to treat expressive lines (those that are seen when we use our facial muscles). It will not improve lines that are present at all times though dermal fillers may be able to help with these.
Areas that can be treated
We price our Botox® by the area. The popular areas treated are:
- Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes which worsen when
smiling)
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Glabella frown lines (vertical lines between the eyebrows)
Other areas can be treated such as bunny lines (at the top of the nose), lines around the lips and neck bands.

Does it hurt?
The needle used is extremely fine and the sensation is comparable to a
mosquito bite. Only a few injections are required in specific areas
minimising any discomfort.

Millions of aesthetic Botox® treatments have been performed over more
than 30 years with no serious adverse events. There may be slight
swelling or redness around the injection site for a short time and some
people complain of a mild headache though this is not common.
