Botox ® Wrinkle Relaxing Injections Cheltenham

Botox like injections - wrinkle relax Cheltenham

Wrinkle, or muscle, relaxing injections (also commonly known as botox injections) is a very common cosmetic treatment which became a part of our beauty regime and it is no longer viewed as something abnormal or dramatic. We use carefully and proven Azzalure injections from the botox family of wrinkle relaxing treatments.

There is no need for completely frozen face look, at our Cheltenham clinic we deliver natural looking appearance that will deliver the results and not look like “had a botox treatment“.

Every new toxin client must have an entry consultation with our prescriber prior to the treatment in order to establish suitability and that we are confident you will benefit and be pleased with any treatment we provide.

Here are some Botox / Wrinkle Relaxing Injection based facts!

  • The scientific name for Botox is Botulinum toxin.
  • One gram of Botulinum toxin can be used to make a whole year’s supply of Botox. 
  • Botulinum toxin is available under four product formulations: Botox, Vistabel, Azzalure, and Bocouture.
  • All formulations are generated from the same bacteria, Botox is the strongest and most recognisable.
  • Many people are not aware what they’re actually having injected. Whilst Botox comes with a red or purple top, Azzalure and Bocouture have blue tops. You can also tell them apart as Botox has a hologram and is kept in a fridge.
  • Botox has been used more than 2 million times in the EU and has become the household name for wrinkle relaxation injections.
  • Strabismus (crossed eyes) can be a challenging condition to fix, but Botox is one of a few very effective ways at realigning one’s vision.
  • Wrinkle Relaxing injections results typically last for 12-16 weeks

Excessive Sweating / Hyperhidrosis 

Hyperhidrosis is a medical term for excessive sweating. Botulinum toxin (botox) injections can help improve excessive sweating for people who find that prescription antiperspirants are not effective at reducing their excessive sweating, and for example sweating when it’s not hot.

Botox works by blocking the nerves responsible for the sweat glands. It can be used for the armpits, palms of hands, feet etc (however results are best on the armpit area). You can expect to see results after 2-3 days, and two weeks after treatment you will see full results. Some people need a touch up in 2 weeks for any areas that may have been missed and not taken effect. Typically results last between 4-14 months.

Gummy Smile

Some people find the way they smile shows too much of the gums, creating a “gummy smile” which some find unattractive. A small amount of Botulinum Toxin (Botox) can help relax the muscles that cause a gummy smile and lower the upper lip so that the smile is much more relaxed. You should start to see improvement 2-3 days after treatment and the full result can be seen after 2-3 weeks. Results tend to last 3-4 months.

Bunny Lines 

“Bunny lines” are small wrinkles that appear as straight, slightly diagonal lines that extend down both sides of the nose. As we age and use certain facial expressions, these lines will deepen and start to show even when the expression is not made. We also lose collagen and elastin in our skin as we age which contributes to wrinkles and ‘Bunny Lines’. The Botox injections relax the muscles that cause the expression. Results tend to last 3-6 months.

Chin Dimple Correction 

Some people have a “cleft chin” otherwise seen as a dimple in the chin, or several dimples creating a “golf ball” look to the skin. A small amount of Botox can relax the muscles and smooth any dimples in the chin. Chin Dimple Correction treatment results last around 3-6 months.

Smoker’s lines 

Smoker’s lines are vertical lines around the mouth can be caused by smoking, although these are part of the general ageing process too. Botox injections work by blocking the nerve impulses to the muscles in the treated area.

Results tend to last anywhere between 2-4 months and around 2-3 weeks to see results after your treatment.

Platysma Bands 

The platysma bands are the horizontal lines in the neck. As we age the platysma bands naturally begin to protrude, and the skin starts to sag. In many cases this will give away your age and is hard to conceal. Untreated platysma bands will often lead to jowling. Botox injections work by relaxing the muscles and softening the area to stop the neck looking scraggy. Results tend to last 3-6 months.

Masseter relaxing  

A strong and overactive masseter muscle can create the illusion of a masculine, square face shape. This can also be linked to tooth grinding which results in jaw pain and headaches, as well as damaging the tooth enamel and causing tooth pain, sensitivity and chipped teeth. We can now fix this with Botox injections in the jaw, where the muscles are responsible for the clenching action. The treatment will relax the masseter muscle and relieves symptoms of tooth grinding. Results can be expected after 7-10 days and last for 3-6 months.
