BOTOX
What is Botox?
Botox is a protein made from Botulinum toxin. Botox injections relax the muscles in the face to smooth out lines and reduce the appearance of skin wrinkles. The most common treatments are crow’s feet, grinding teeth, brow lift Botox, forehead lines or frown lines.
How long does Botox Last?
It is a quick 20-minute treatment with minimal downtime. You may notice results within 24 to 48 hours, with results lasting up to 4 months for moderate to severe frown lines.
Botox Areas
Gummy Smile Botox
The gummy smile condition is where the upper lip elevates above the upper teeth, exposing the gums and producing an unattractive smile. This phenomenon occurs when a hyperactive muscle lifts the upper lip above the teeth. The smile will also look even worse if the upper lip is thin because more of the upper gum line is exposed.
HSA Dermal Clinic offers a simple and effective treatment for a gummy smile. Botox injections for a gummy smile reduce the muscle activity that elevates the upper lip. Usually, patients need to repeat it every five to six months. The injection has a protein that relaxes muscles by temporarily blocking nerve impulses to the injected areas.
Brow lift Botox
The Brow lift Botox lift is becoming popular for men and women. It is the ideal treatment for mild to moderate heaviness in the brow area. Also, botulinum toxin is an alternative to invasive surgery.
We use anti-wrinkle injections between the brows to relax underlying muscles and smooth the outer skin. The brow lift Botox allows the forehead muscles to pull up the now-relaxed muscles between the brows.
Therefore, the botulinum toxin will make the brows and eyes appear more relaxed, refreshed, and broader.
Frown Lines, Forehead Wrinkles and Lines
Frown lines and forehead wrinkles are those long wrinkle lines that appear on the forehead when a person is concentrating or straining to see something. It occurs as we age because of the skin’s breakdown of elasticity.
Over time, our skin becomes thinner, tighter, and drier, making the forehead’s wrinkle and frown lines more pronounced. To get rid of frown lines, our clinic in Richmond Upon Thames in London can help by injecting these with frown line Botox.
Frown lines can be made worse or deepened if you are undergoing stress. We all frown more when under stress, and over time, this can weaken the collagen fibres in our skin. Smoking and ultraviolet rays on the skin from the sun can damage the skin. It will also add to forehead wrinkles and frown lines.
Cleft Chin and Poppy Chin Treatment
Many people develop a pockmarked or pincushion effect on the skin of the chin. This condition has various names—for example, Cleft Chin, Dimpled Chin, or Orange Peel Chin. It occurs due to repeated contractions of the chin muscle over time.
The appearance of unsightly pin-like marks and wrinkles occurs when the chin’s mentalis muscle contracts. As one ages, the condition worsens and becomes visible even when the chin muscle is not contracting.
Cleft Chin is unattractive, but we can correct it at our skin clinic with dimpled chin Botox. Therefore, we inject the mentalis muscle at the bottom of the chin. These injections soften the skin’s appearance and reduce the dimpled chin to create a more youthful look.
If patients repeat their Botox treatment, the cleft chin needs them less often, which can lead to the cleft chin (poppy chin) effect fading away altogether.
Crow’s Feet Botox
Crow’s feet Botox are also known as character lines or laugh lines. They are a concentrated collection of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes’ outer corners.
Wrinkles near the eyes usually start appearing in our mid-to-late-30s. They occur because of the lessening of elastin and collagen production – the two proteins responsible for our skin’s elasticity.
This skin hardening leads to the emergence of crow’s feet and wrinkles. Plus, all the other signs of ageing, like frown lines and brown spots. Other contributing factors that lead to crow’s-feet eyes are excessive exposure to the sun, smoking, squinting, smiling, and frowning.
With regular Botox treatments at our clinic in London, the botulinum toxin injections flatten and smooth wrinkles and, in some cases, can even get rid of them. For example, deep crow’s feet can show even without making an expression.
Smoker’s Lips and Lines
Smokers’ lips, vertical lip lines or smoker’s lines occur from the regular lip movements we all make and are unavoidable. If you are a regular smoker, then the appearance of a smoker’s lines worsens. This is due to the harmful chemicals in the smoke and the repeated action of pressing your lips together each time you inhale cigarette smoke.
To help prevent the wrinkles associated with a smoker’s lips. You can choose to undergo a Botox course at our skin clinic. Patients need to repeat the Botulinum toxin injections every 4-6 months.
Nefertiti Neck Lift
The Nefertiti neck lift is a procedure that redefines your jawline and softens any lines and wrinkles on the neck using Botox. The treatment provides lift and neck tightening to restore the jaw and neck’s elegant lines and help you recapture your youthful appearance.
This procedure is simple and painless. Botox anti-wrinkle injections are made into your neck and along your jawline in the platysma muscle. The result? Neck tightening and lifting of the skin. As a result, the overall effect is a visible reduction in wrinkles and loose skin on the neck.
Grinding Teeth Treatment
The grinding, clenching, or gnashing of teeth, also known as bruxism, is common in people who suffer from it, and many do it without even realising it. It’s prevalent for people to do it in their sleep (this is called sleep bruxism). And while there is no definitive natural cure, we offer teeth-grinding treatment at our skin clinic in London.
Grinding your teeth in sleep can wear away your enamel and loosen your teeth from the gums or even fractures. You might also suffer from an aching jaw, headaches, and tooth pain. Also, high stress causes teeth grinding, crooked teeth, or an abnormal bite.
One of the effective treatments for improving grinding is the treatment carried out in our clinic is injecting Botox in the Masseter muscle on both sides of the face. The result could take up to 14 days to full effect and last between 4-6 months.
Bunny Lines
Bunny lines are the slightly diagonal small wrinkles, or fine lines, on both sides of your nose just below the bridge.
Certain people are more likely to develop bunny lines than others. It all depends on how they make their facial expressions. People who wrinkle their noses when they laugh usually have very defined bunny lines. But people whose faces remain more relaxed and whose laugh doesn’t cause their nose to crinkle normally don’t develop them.
At our Richmond clinic, we can help to combat bunny lines by treating them with Botox injections. We inject each side of the nose with small amounts of Botox. Results will show between 7 to 10 days and typically last up to three or four months.
