ANTI-WRINKLE
Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, manufactured for use in Cosmetic Medicine. Also called a neuromodulator, it temporarily paralyses the muscles and/or sweat glands it is injected into.
A great option for combating wrinkles as it relaxes specific muscles that contract under the skin.
We all have different musculature, so I individualise every treatment. This involves careful assessment of facial movements and bespoke dosing to optimize outcome.
I use Xeomin® primarily for its precision and purity. Dysport® and Botox® are available on request.

Results typically last 3-4 months.
