Anti wrinkle treatments are with injectable toxin designed to relax the muscles and soften dynamic lines. Botulinum toxin is a neuromodulator which reduces the signal to the muscles, thus reducing their movement. It is perfectly safe and has very few side effects. It is well tolerated by a vast majority of patients.

Normally the upper face consists of treating three areas: Frown, forehead, and crows feet. The look is not frozen or permanently surprised. The aim is to look refreshed and youthful, not severe.

The lower face can also be treated and concerns such as dimpled chin skin, a slightly downturned mouth, sinewy looking neck and bulky jaw angle can all be successfully treated with toxin.

Toxin is much less invasive than filler but cannot provide structure or volume. It is designed to relax muscle tone in certain areas to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

As always, skincare is absolutely essential and works in harmony with toxin. If you aren’t prepared to invest in your superficial skin layers looking plump and healthy, you will not get a good result from toxin. If you have excessively saggy or sun damaged skin, toxin will also NOT give you a good result.
