Botulinum toxin works by temporarily blocking signals from nerves to muscles. The injected muscle can no longer contract, which causes wrinkles to relax and soften.
Results last 12-16 weeks on average. Depending on what the patient would like, there may be partial reduction in movement or they may opt for a ‘frozen’ result. This depends on the amount administered and location of product placement according to the individual’s needs.
A very fine needle is used and generally this treatment is not painful and well tolerated.
After treatment it is expected that you will start to see an improvement within 2 or 3 days. The full result can take up to 2 weeks.
The areas most commonly treated for areas for wrinkle reduction include the Glabella (frown line), the Forehead and the Crows feet (lines next to your eyes). For more information on these treatments please book a FOC consultation.
