Private Botox® Treatments:
Aging skin and wrinkles result from a combination of many factors. It’s not just about cellular changes,
collagen depletion, hormone loss, or damage caused by free radicals. After years of frequent contraction,
those wrinkles can linger even after the muscles are at rest.
A very popular, safe and effective treatment to reduce lines and wrinkles is Botox®. Botox® (Botulinum
toxin type ‘A’) is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacteria. It was developed
during the 1970s – 1980s to treat blepharospasm (spasm of the eyelids) and strabismus (squint). In 1997 it
achieved FDA approval for cosmetic use in the USA and by 2006 was granted a license by the MHRA in the
UK for the treatment of frown lines. Worldwide, now more than 3 million Botox® treatments take place per
year. Botox® is one of the many trade names for the neurotoxic protein called botulinum toxin that is
produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.
How does Botox® work?
BOTOX® is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate-
to-severe frown lines between the brows in people 18 to 65 years of age for a short period of time
(temporary). It works at the neuromuscular junction by blocking the transmission of signals from the nerve
ending to the targeted muscle. This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form
between the brows. This is called cosmetic denervation and it is a new use for an approved drug that has
been safely utilised for eleven years to treat many neurological and opthalmological disorders. These
procedures use a small amount of diluted botulinum toxin that enables controlled weakening of muscles
Similarly, wrinkles are caused by contraction of other delicate facial muscles like when you raise your
eyebrows you form lines to the upper forehead and when you smile/laugh this forms crows feet. The result
is not permanent because the nerve ending re-establishes it’s signalling by forming new nerve sprouts. This
sprouting takes approximately 3-6 months, at which point the muscle regains it’s activity and the wrinkles
begin to reappear.
How is Botox® administered?
Botox procedures do not require anesthesia and usually take just a few minutes to perform. The protein is
injected into the muscle using a fine needle in order to minimize discomfort and maximize accuracy. In
order to minimize bruising, patients should stop using aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications about two
weeks before treatment.
The results are not immediately visible but will become apparent within 3-14 days.
Botox® Aftercare (within the first 6 hours)
Possible side effects of Botox®
Side Effects are very rare: though bruising is the most common. Side effects noted are; small areas of
redness at the treatment site, lasting 2-3 hours, dull heavy sensation +/- occasional headache, ptosis
(droop) of eyebrow or eyelid and double vision. All possibilities will be explained in detail before any
treatment takes place.

Botox® Aftercare (within the first 6 hours)
- DO gently exercise the treatment areas by frowning, smiling, squinting and lifting the eyebrows
occasionally this will optimise your result - DO NOT rub or massage the treatment areas – this may increase the risk of complications by
spreading the product - AVOID alcohol, aspirin and ibuprofen for 24 hours which can increase the risk of bruising and swelling
- AVOID lying flat or bending down excessively
- AVOID very strenuous physical activity
Possible side effects of Botox®
Side Effects are very rare: though bruising is the most common. Side effects noted are; small areas of
redness at the treatment site, lasting 2-3 hours, dull heavy sensation +/- occasional headache, ptosis
(droop) of eyebrow or eyelid and double vision. All possibilities will be explained in detail before any
