• Crow’s feet
• Forehead lines

About Botox®

Botox® is a non-surgical treatment used to temporarily soften facial lines.

Botox® is a brand name for a medicine; Botulinum toxin, that has been naturally derived in much the same way as penicillin comes from mould.

Botulinum toxin has been used by Neurologists and Eye Specialists in the treatment of facial and neck muscle spasms. It was noted that patients treated for these conditions lost their frown lines. In about 1994 Cosmetic Dermatologists began using the toxin to actively treat frown lines and later “crow’s feet” around the eyes.

How does Botox® work?

Some lines and wrinkles form in areas where muscles are particularly active – movement between the eyebrows leads to a frown, smiling leads to lines around eyes and across the forehead. Botox® temporarily reduces the action of treated muscles. This relaxation of the muscles can result in softer lines or wrinkles in the overlying skin.

The effect of Botox® lasts approximately 3 – 4 months but this varies between people. Most people find that with regular treatment the effect lasts longer.

What does the treatment involve?

Minute doses are injected directly into the muscles which cause facial lines by frequent habitual contraction. The common areas injected are the glabellar furrows between the eyebrows, frown lines that run horizontally across the forehead and “crow’s” feet outside the eyes.

The treatment takes less than 15 minutes with results appearing gradually over the following few days.

A full medical history will be taken prior to your procedure and you will have an opportunity to discuss the treatment in full with your Cosmetic Nurse Specialist at Caci.
