Botox
|
Botox (Botulinum Toxin) is a chemical compound that relaxes muscle tissue. Facial surgeons have exploited this property for use in facial cosmetics to selectively relax certain facial muscles. This has the overall effect of reducing wrinkles.
After all wrinkles are caused by the movement of muscles creasing the skin. Frown & look in the mirror – as soon as your frown muscles move, the wrinkles appear. Relax the muscles & the wrinkles disappear. It’s that simple. Call our practice in Leeds for further information. |

Botox is carried out in usually one appointment sometimes more if further refinements are required is simple and painless procedure. The botox liquid is injected carefully into selected facial muscles as determined by what your desired effects are. Every bodys goals and facial anatomy is different – so all treatments are individual and bespoke. There are no hard & fast formulas.

The botox serum takes 1 – 2 weeks to take effect and the wrinkles disappear as the serum takes effect. Normally, the serum loses its potency after 6 – 8 months when top up treatments are required. Due to the nature of muscle atrophy, the more botox you have, the less you need.

Beware of unqualified people e.g. hairdressers beauticians offering botox. Simple fact – if you haven’t studied the detailed anatomy of the human facial muscles you should not be sticking needles into them. All our equipment is sterilised to medical standards and all our facial surgeons have formal recognised qualifications in human anatomy and are indemnified (insured) in case of any mishaps. Would you trust your barber to remove a cyst?
