Botox/Dysport for anti-ageing
Botox/Dysport injections relax the muscles in your face to smooth out lines and wrinkles, such as crow's feet, frown lines and forehead lines.
It is a solution of natural purified protein that is used in extremely small amounts to reduce wrinkles that are caused by the contraction of muscles.
Wrinkles and frown lines are the result of muscle activity and contractions.
Tiny injections of Botox/Dysport are administered very precisely into the muscles, blocking the nerve impulses from reaching the area and causing the muscles to relax. As these muscles can no longer contract, the skin is able to relax fully and is smooth and unwrinkled.
With time, frown lines or grooves that were already present before the client started using Botulinum will reduce or disappear completely.
With repeated use, further frown lines and other wrinkles are prevented from forming in the future.
The treatment is safe and effective, side effects are minimal and allergic reactions to injections do not occur. Botulinum is actually also used in much higher doses to treat migraines and excessive sweating. It is entirely safe.
An extremely fine needle is used, so only a mild stinging sensation is experienced during treatment.
