Frown Lines

Frown wrinkles (Glabella wrinkles) are most commonly seen in patients with excessive sun exposure and those who have over activity of these muscles often associated with frowning.

Forehead Wrinkles

Forehead wrinkles appear in horizontal lines in the area between the eyebrows and the hairline. These wrinkles are formed when eyebrows are raised.

Around the Eye Wrinkles (Crow’s Feet)

Crow’s feet wrinkles (Periorbital wrinkles) are in the outer corner of the eyes and appear more prominent when laughing or smiling. These can result from excessive sun exposure combined with the skin becoming less elastic with age.

After the clients, first treatment a follow-up appointment is booked for 2 weeks post-treatment.  This allows the doctor to assess how the toxin has taken and if more product needs to be administered.  If so, this is free of charge.  Botox can take between 3-10 days to take fully and that’s why follow up appointments are advised to be booked 2 weeks post-treatment.

The Nefertiti Lift (For neck and under the chin bands)

This is a new procedure which redefines the elegant lines of the jaw and neck for a youthful, tighter, more contoured appearance without surgery. The loss of jawline definition and hanging neck muscles are 2 major aging features on the face.
The technique involves placing multiple injections of Botox along the lower jawline as well as down the side of the neck, it is possible to improve the definition of the jawline and provide a ‘lifting’ action to the neck and jaw area. It relaxes the muscles beneath the jaw which contribute to a downward pull along the jaw. Once these muscles are relaxed the net effect is an upward pull from facial muscles, creating a more defined looking jawline neck and face.

Facial Sculpting /Jawline Reduction

Injecting Botox into particular muscles of the face or neck can help improve the structural contours and appearance of the face.

For example, injecting very small amounts into the lower outer corners of the mouth can help create a less saddened or aged look. Chunky outer cheeks, common in square and Asian faces, in particular, can be slimmed by de-toning these often overly strong and powerful cheek muscles.

Botox for Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)

Bruxism is the unconscious grinding and clenching of the teeth that mostly takes place while we are asleep. 

It is a surprisingly common issue, estimated to affect up to 30% of the population. When the symptoms are mild, people may not even be aware of the condition.

However, in more severe cases, it can result in a series of unpleasant consequences, which could include:

• Headaches
• Aching/Tired Jaw
• Hypersensitive Teeth
• Unnatural tooth wear, which could lead to dental work such as crowns, fillings or even tooth replacement

Botox injections can be used to treat this condition.  Injections are used to weaken the masticatory muscles just enough to reduce bruxism; by lessening the muscles’ ability to clench and grind the jaw. This involves 5-6 injections which are carefully administered in order to retain all the normal functions of chewing, talking and smiling.

Botox for Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

Botox has recently been found to be very effective in the treatment of the excessive sweating of the armpits, hands, feet and forehead and is becoming an increasingly popular treatment especially in the lead up to the Summer months.

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is a clinical condition that causes the sweat glands to over perspire causing social embarrassment, limits personal style and can destroy self-confidence. However, it can easily be treated through a series of small injections into the muscles surrounding the sweat glands blocking the actions of the nerve endings thus preventing the glands from producing sweat.

Botox can be used on the forehead, underarms, palms of the hands and soles of the feet with results lasting from 6-10 months

Botox for a Gummy Smile?

Some people naturally have a high lip line when they smile. If this is combined with a deeper maxilla (upper jaw bone) the result can be the appearance of a gummy smile.

Gummy Smile occurs when the upper lip elevates too far above their upper teeth, exposing gums and producing an unattractive smile.

One of the causes is hyperactive muscle which elevates the upper lip.  Occasionally, the gummy smile is also aggravated by a thin upper lip that further contributes to the problem by exposing the upper gum even more.

Fortunately, a gummy smile can be simply and effectively corrected by Botulinum toxin, popularly known as Botox, injection to reduce the activity of the muscle elevating the upper lip. The Procedure

Treatment: A small amount of Botulinum toxin will be injected at both sides of the junction of nostril and nose to mouth fold to weaken the muscles.  Within the next 3-4 days elevation of the upper lip will gradually less and your smile is transformed, showing less gum and giving you the confidence to smile without inhibition.  The full result will be achieved 2 weeks after the treatment.
