Botulinum Toxin Treatments
Regular botulinum injections is considered the best way to delay the ageing process.
Botox®, Xeomin® and Dysport® are all derivatives of the naturally occurring protein produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. They are collectively known as Neuromodulators which means they work by blocking the neurotransmitters that stimulate muscles to contract. Our unique facial expressions are caused by muscles in our face contracting, and over time this repetitive movement results in the development of wrinkles. Botulinum injections help to counter this by reducing the muscles ability to contract, thus suppressing movement and consequently reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
