Autumn is fast approaching and if you’re feeling the post-summer blues coming on, why not treat yourself to an anti-ageing facial treatment to give your skin a healthy glow in time for the new season? With Botox, we are able to reduce the visibility of lines, folds and wrinkles and give your skin a new lease of life!

About Botox

Botox is a non-invasive, non-surgical anti-ageing remedy for wrinkles and lines and it works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals to the muscles in the face. The lack of muscle contraction reduces the prominence of facial lines, giving your skin a lovely, youthful glow and creating a much softer and smother surface. Botox is a toxin, but is used in very small and dilute quantities and when administered by a trained professional, it is considered a safe, effective treatment. The results of Botox treatment are only temporary and this makes it an appealing option for people who want to tackle the signs of ageing without undergoing surgery.

What happens when you have Botox?

One of the reasons Botox is so popular is the convenience of treatment. You often read about ‘lunch break treatments’ and the reality is that a Botox session only lasts around 15-30 minutes, so it can be fitted into a normal daily schedule very easily. Before we undertake any treatment, we have a consultation with the patient first to ensure they understand what treatment entails and check that they are a suitable candidate for treatment. We also plan the procedure in advance to ascertain which areas need attention and we will obviously be happy to answer any questions about how treatment works, what will happen and how you will feel afterwards.

Once the planning session is complete, we can go ahead with treatment. The actual session is very quick and the procedure is very simple. We use a very fine needle to inject a carefully controlled amount of Botox into the areas of the skin we have already pinpointed and that’s it! After treatment, the results will start to become visible and they should last for between three and six months.

If you’ve decided that summer 2016 is going to be your time to shine, look no further than our incredible facial rejuvenation treatments! If you long for beautifully smooth, radiant skin this summer, Botox could be the perfect solution.

What exactly is Botox?

Botox is a diluted form of botulinum toxin type A, which is injected into the skin. It has been used for more than two decades in the UK and is one of the most rapidly growing cosmetic treatments in the world.

Botox is commonly used to soften facial lines and create a more youthful appearance.

How does Botox work?

Botox reduces the visibility of lines and wrinkles by causing the muscles in the face to relax. It does this by reducing muscle contraction, which occurs when nerve signals to the muscles are blocked.

The Botox procedure is very simple. We use a very fine needle to gently inject Botox solution into targeted areas of the skin.

How long do the results last?

The results usually become visible around 2-5 days after treatment and should last between 3 and 6 months. Once the effects start to fade, it is possible to continue treatment to prolong the results.

What are the benefits of Botox?

Many people long for a younger look, especially when the signs of ageing start to become more visible.

Botox offers a non-invasive, convenient and safe solution. With Botox, lines soften and the complexion looks smoother, brighter and more youthful. This treatment can have a really positive impact on confidence as well as appearance. Treatment is convenient as sessions only take around 20 minutes and there is no recovery time required.

Are there any side-effects?

Most people have treatment without any problems at all, but as with all cosmetic procedures, there are risks. It is possible for Botox to cause temporary, localised bruising, redness and swelling. Our experienced Liverpool dental practitioners use the latest techniques teamed with their expertise and skill to produce incredible results with minimal risk.
