Discover Facts About Botulinum Toxin for the Temporary Improvement of lines and wrinkles.

Understanding Treatment Options for Facial Lines

Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medicine that can temporarily reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, which are lines caused by facial muscle movement.

Facial lines are a natural part of ageing, but several treatments are available to improve their appearance.

Botulinum Toxin: A Popular Choice

One of the most well-known options is botulinum toxin, a prescription medicine with various brands available in the UK.

How Botulinum Toxin Works

Botulinum toxin temporarily relaxes the facial muscles that cause wrinkles. It does this by blocking the signals from nerves to muscles, preventing the contractions that lead to lines forming.

Different Brands, Same Active Ingredient

While Botox® is a popular and widely recognised brand, other botulinum toxin brands are available in the UK, including:

Dysport®
Bocouture®
Azzalure®

These brands contain the same active ingredient, botulinum toxin type A, but their formulations may differ slightly.

Important Considerations Before Treatment

Before undergoing any treatment, it’s crucial to consult us as the treatment may not be suitable. We will assess your individual case, discuss the potential benefits and risks, and tailor a treatment plan that aligns with your expectations and medical history.

Cosmetic Uses of Botulinum Toxin

Cosmetic botulinum toxin is indicated in adult patients for the temporary improvement in the appearance of glabellar lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet.

Glabellar Lines
Glabellar lines result from the contraction of the corrugator and orbicularis oculi muscles, pulling the eyebrows together and downward, creating a frown.
Crows Feet
Lateral canthal lines, or crow’s feet, are caused by the contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle during blinking and smiling. These lines radiate outwards from the outer corner of the eye.
Forehead Lines
Forehead lines are caused by the contraction of the frontalis muscle, which raises the eyebrows. The appearance and strength of this muscle vary greatly between individuals.
