Botox

Botox is a simple procedure for effectively smoothing persistent forehead frown lines and crow's feet (laughter lines) in men and women to give a more relaxed and youthful appearance. A very fine needle is used to inject Botox, a natural purified protein into facial muscles, causing them to relax. The injections are very safe and usually painless. The injections temporarily block nerve impulses that trigger wrinkle-causing contractions. Results can last for up to 4 months .Treatment takes 15 to 20 minutes. The initial effect is seen within 5 days and the maximum effect 14 days after treatment. Cost from £250 .

Botox can and does have fantastic effects on your appearance and confidence. We are all aware of celebrities who have perhaps had too much Botox , but the right amount in the right area will produce results that look as natural and subtle as you want them to.
