BOTOX®
(Botulinum toxin type A) has been used
therapeutically for a range of medical
problems since the 1980's. After it
was noted around 1990 that treatment
of facial tics resulted in improvement
in wrinkles its use in cosmetic
treatment has grown dramatically.
BOTOX® is an effective and now
well-established treatment for lines
and wrinkles. The most commonly
treated areas are crow's feet/smile
lines, frown lines between the
eyebrows and forehead lines. BOTOX®
can also be used to soften lines
around the mouth, chin and neck and to
elevate mouth corners. Other effects
that can be achieved include eyebrow
shaping and improvement in lack of
symmetry.
BOTOX® can only be obtained by a
doctor's prescription following
medical assessment. Detailed
understanding of the anatomy of facial
muscles is required to achieve the
best results and needs to be combined
with careful individual assessment.
Our aim at Mulberry House Clinic is to
give you a fresher more youthful
appearance, not an artificial "frozen"
look. The compliments our clients
report are that they are told they
look "well" or "refreshed"
(unfortunately for us they sometimes
go on to reply that its thanks to some
new make-up!).
An initial consultation is important
to establish that this is an
appropriate treatment for you, and to
explain what results you are likely to
see, as this depends on various
factors. We believe it is equally
important that you are offered a
follow-up appointment after two weeks
to ensure you have achieved the
optimum effect.
BOTOX® is administered by a series of
injections of small amounts of
solution via a fine needle so that any
discomfort is minor and short-lived.
Slight swelling and redness settles
within half an hour or so. Lines and
wrinkles diminish as a result of a
relaxing effect on the specific
muscles whose repeated movements have
caused them. The effects of treatment
start after a few days and are
complete within two weeks; benefits of
treatment will last usually for 3 or 4
months. Repeated treatments at 3-4
monthly intervals will give optimum
results over the long term - both in
terms of preventing wrinkle formation
but also by allowing remodelling of
skin to occur so that any fixed
creases will improve over time.
Testimonials:
"I have now had BOTOX® from three
different places, and I've had the
best results here (Mulberry House
Clinic)"
"I have found that your treatment has
lasted longer than treatment I have
had elsewhere"
"You advised that BOTOX® was not
suitable for me - I then went
elsewhere for treatment and sure
enough I had problems."
