Anti-wrinkle injections, often known by the brand name Botox, are one of the most popular treatments at our Loughborough clinic. They use a purified form of botulinum toxin to relax specific facial muscles, which can soften the appearance of expression lines and give a refreshed, natural-looking result. Every treatment is carried out by a registered nurse prescriber after a face-to-face consultation, so your plan is tailored to your face rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
What anti-wrinkle injections can help with
Anti-wrinkle injections are most commonly used to soften the lines that form through everyday expressions, including:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Forehead lines
- Crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes
The same technique can also be used for a range of more advanced and therapeutic concerns. Cosmetic options include a subtle brow lift, a "lip flip", softening a gummy smile, and smoothing a dimpled chin. We also offer treatments where botulinum toxin is used for medical rather than purely cosmetic reasons, including jaw slimming and teeth grinding (masseter), excessive underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis), neck and décolletage lines, and tension across the shoulders and neck (sometimes called "trap tox"). During your consultation we will talk through which areas are appropriate for you.
