Anti-wrinkle Injections contain Botulinum Toxin – some brands are BoCoture, Botox and Azzalure. The Botulinum Toxin injections are administered to specific areas of the face to relax the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles. This in turn makes the skin smoother. These injections can also be used for other purposes such as to lift the eyebrows, reduce excessive sweating or to help debulk the masseter muscle (chewing muscle).

There is minimal pain as the needles are very fine and the procedure is quick. If you are concerned about pain we can use a numbing cream applied 15mins prior to treatment.

Botulinum Toxin is a prescription only treatment used extensively in the healthcare industry. It is considered to be extremely safe when used by a trained professional. The risk of an allergic reaction is very low and a professional will always have an emergency kit to hand and will be up to date with their basic life support and anaphylaxis training.

Botulinum Toxin (Botox, BoCoture) is a prescription only medication. It should only be prescribed and administered by a trained medical professional ensuring that a thorough history has been taken.

Typically the injections will last 3-4 months, this can vary widely as can the dose needed to treat a specific muscle group. A top up can be given 2 weeks after the initial treatment free of charge if needed. You must wait at least 12 weeks between injection treatments.

The full effect should be clear at 2 weeks after the treatment. We offer a free review and top up if needed.

Jawline slimming and Neck Lift treatments may take up to 4 weeks to see the results.

The injections are offered in one, two or three 'areas.' These include

• Forehead Lines
• Frown Lines
• Crow's feet around the eyes
• Bunny Lines on the nose
• Gummy Smile treatment
• Downturned Smile treatment
• Chin - for dimpling

• Neck Lift - Nefertitti Neck Lift
• Excessive sweating – only to be used for this indication with medical guidance and necessity after trying other options
• Jawline slimming (Masseter reduction) – If the chewing muscles have become larger than usual on the sides of the cheek the injections can weaken them and with time and multiple treatments reduce the size of this muscle. This treatment can also sometimes help with teeth grinding or Bruxism.

• Gummy smile treatment – to weaken the top lip muscle during smiling so that the gums do not show as much
• Down turned smile treatment – to weaken the muscles pulling the sides of the lips down
• Bunny Lines - The lines either side of the nose can be relaxed

This is based on your preference and budget. Dr Logan can advise you further.

The most popular treatment is for three 'areas' including frown, forehead and crow's feet. This is because they balance each other out, relaxing the forehead while also opening the eyes.

The pricing is based on the number of areas treated and all areas can be done independently apart from forehead lines which would give a very exaggerated frown if treated in isolation.

No.
