Product

Initially used as a medical treatment for various conditions such as childhood squints and cerebral palsy, Botox has been used cosmetically for over a decade as a safe, wrinkle-relaxing injection.

Botox is a specially prepared, naturally occurring, purified protein that originates from bacteria.

It works by blocking the message from the nerve to the muscle so that the muscle relaxes, creating a smoother, younger, more relaxed appearance.

It is also known to relieve the misery of tension headaches and migraine.

Treatment

Before treatment is given, the aesthetic nurse practitioner asks you to raise your eyebrows, frown and smile. At this point ‘before’ photographs are taken, and kept in your confidential file. The areas to be treated are cleansed and marked with an eyebrow pencil.

A video-conferencing remote consultation takes place with a Harley Street consultant.

A minute, safe quantity of Botox is administered using a very fine needle, concentrating on the muscles of the forehead and around the eyes. The experience and skill of the injector is vital to achieving the optimum results, free of discomfort.

Being painless, the procedure does not require a topical anaesthetic cream. It is known as ‘the lunchtime procedure’, as no marks are visible on the face after half an hour or so.
