Course or one off treatment?

We ask you to return in 14-21 days to assess the outcome, and top up your treatment if the dosage was slightly lower than the perfect dose for you.
Results in
14 days
The toxin works slowly and doesn't reach its full potential for 14 days. You will not see a significant difference overnight, it will be a series of small, gradual improvements.
Recovery time
0
There is no down time from this procedure. The injection sites may be red for a small amount of time, but this normally resolves very quickly.
Duration of results
3-4 months
If you are new to toxins your first treatment may only last for around 12 weeks, however if you continue to have the area treated the results will continue to improve and will last longer.
Treatments per year
2 / 3
Initially treatment will be every 3-4 months, but most regular users of anti-wrinkle injections find that their results continue to last and that they only need to have the area treated every 6 months or so.
When not to have anti-wrinkle injections?
If you have a skin infection
If you’re unwell in any way
If you have a neuromuscular condition
If you’re taking certain medicines
If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding
Aftercare for anti wrinkle injections
You will not see a change straight away. It takes about 2 to 3 days to start working
Do not massage or rub your face for 3 days, or have a facial.
Avoid vigorous exercise, sunbathing (including using sun beds), and the sauna for 2 days.
Effects usually last for about 3 or 4 months. If you have botulinum toxin injections again, you should wait at least 12 weeks.
Possible side effects of anti wrinkle injections?
The risks of receiving botulinum toxin injections are very small
when administered correctly by a suitably qualified practitioner (which we are).
You may experience redness, bruising or a small swelling at the injection site.
Some people may develop a headache and flu-like symptoms for the first 24 hours.
Uncommon side effects are:
A frozen look – you might not be able to move the muscles in your face if too much botulinum toxin is
injected, which is why we top up over the two sessions if higher doses are required.
Temporary drooping of an eyelid or eyebrow if the botulinum toxin moves into these muscles.
Our toxin of choice has very little migration in comparison to others, so this is extremely unlikely.
Very rarely serious complications can occur, such as serious allergic reaction.
We are prepared to help you should this situation arise.

Great first time experience with Liz, I felt at ease and that I was in very safe hands. Great communication and follow up care. I'd definitely recommend her :-). I'll be back soon.

Crows feet
Crows’ feet are the lines that fan out from the outer corners of our eyes. These are usually much more noticeable when you are smiling, and this can be a cause in their formation. They are very common in people who have lots of sun exposure as we naturally squint our eyes to protect them from the brightness of the sun.
These lines are caused by a muscle that surrounds the eye called the orbicularis occuli. Some small injections in the problem area can significantly reduce these lines. The result is no visible crows’ feet at rest or when you smile and squint.
Treating this area is normally the most efficient way of reversing the signs of aging. It makes the eye area look brighter, fresher, more awake and can reduce the appearance of crepiness in the skin around the eye.
