How does BotulinumToxin work?
-Acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that controls muscle movement. When muscles are used over time can result in fine lines & wrinkles.
-Botulinum Toxin (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin) blocks Acetylcholine release temporarily weakening muscle movement resulting in softer lines and wrinkles.
-Over time Botulinum Toxin will be gradually eliminated from the body and muscle activity will be returned to normal.

​
Massetters Treatment:
£200
A popular area for wrinkle reducing injections in the lower face is treatment of the masseter muscles, to slim-down the facial shape or width of the jaw.
This treatment can also be useful in prevention of bruxism, or tooth-grinding (by reducing the activity of the “chewing” muscles).
​
​
Gummy Smile Treatment:
£160
Some patients feel that when they smile they show too much of their gums. This is sometimes referred to as a “Gummy Smile”. It may be caused by hyper-elevation of the muscles in the top lip, in which case, relaxing those muscles softens the elevation and lowers the top lip to conceal more of the gums.
