What causes wrinkles?
Ageing causing loss of elasticity, thin skin, facial expressions, and smoking.
What is botox?
A fast and simple treatment where a protein relaxes the muscles. This will help reduce, or eliminate frown lines, forehead wrinkles and wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet). The big advantage of this type of ant-wrinkle treatment is that is non-surgical, quick and has no downtime.
Who is botox for?
Both men and women, and is not just for treating wrinkles. You can also have this for excessive sweating, neck lines and smoker’s lines.
How long does the botox treatment take?
Just 10-20 minutes, and you should see results with 2-3 days. Sometimes it can take about 10 days; therefore, Dr Gill reviews his patient after 2 weeks. The results lasts 3-4 months. The wrinkles do come back very slowly, when you can consult us again for more treatment. Over time, with repeated treatment, the results will last longer.
Is treatment Painful?
Very fine needles are used, so, there is virtually no pain and no numbing is
required.
What are the complications of Botox?
Botox has been around for over 15 years and has an excellent safety record. Rarely, you may get slight bruising in the area or a bit of reddening or swelling. This disappears very quickly.
Don't the results look fake?
You may have seen the movie “Just Go With It”, thankfully that is not real life! We are glad to say that the results look very natural because we only target the wrinkle muscles. This is not like having a face-lift.
