Treating Crow’s Feet
A treatment for crow’s feet using muscle relaxants softens existing lines around the eyes. It can also prevent new ones from forming by preventing the repeated muscle movements that caused the wrinkles to develop. Following this non-surgical treatment, many clients find their outer eye area looks rejuvenated and more youthful.
Treating Horizontal Forehead Lines
Repeated muscle movements over time cause these horizontal lines. As you raise your eyebrows, lines form. Eventually, the lines become deeper and remain permanently, even when your forehead muscles are relaxed. Muscle relaxant treatments can relax the frontalis muscle of the forehead, causing it to stop contracting. Because your forehead comprises a third of your face, this treatment can have a dramatic impact on your appearance.
Treating Frown Lines (Glabellar)
Repeated movement of the muscle between the eyebrows, which creases every time you frown or squint, causes frown lines. They can be treated with a muscle relaxant that causes this underlying muscle to contract less.
This is one of the most popular areas for muscle relaxant treatments.
A 30-minute in-clinic procedure can smooth existing wrinkles and stop the lines from becoming deeper by preventing the repeated muscle movements causing them.

POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS
WHAT TO EXPECT:
The listed below are all normal results of the injections and will generally disappear within a few days.
Bruising
While bruising is not common, when it does occur, often it is minimal. Bruising is not due to poor technique and will not alter the final result of your treatment. In order to reduce bruising, it is important to adhere to the aftercare regime.
Headache and Tenderness
You may have a mild headache or tenderness at the injection site. This can be treated with paracetamol if required.
Other
The treated area may feel heavy or ‘strange’, this is normal and will settle as the Botulinum toxin takes effect over the first 10-14 days.
There may also be asymmetry of the treated muscles that will resolve once the treatment takes full effect, this is normal and due to the muscles slowly relaxing. This is most noticeable with forehead treatments.
Rarer side effects have been discussed in the consultation process and are not expected with every treatment.
FOLLOW UP:
You may begin to notice the results in 3-7 days with end results visible at 14 days.
A second treatment between 14-21 days of the anti-wrinkle treatment may be necessary to achieve optimal results and to determine a correct dosing regime.
Please note that NO FOLLOW-UP OR TOP-UP TREATMENT will be performed prior to 14 days.
