Botox® or botulinum toxin, is a natural, purified protein made by the Clostridium Botulinum bacterium. For cosmetic treatments Botox® is a simple, non-surgical treatment.
Minute quantities of Botox® are injected into wrinkle-causing muscles, causing these muscles to relax. The result is that wrinkles and lines are smoothed, leaving the treated areas rejuvenated and younger looking. Botox® is particularly effective for frown lines, crows feet around the eyes and lines around the mouth.
Botox® treatments take just 10 minutes and no anaesthetic is required. You can return to work and normal activities immediately. The effects of Botox® will become apparent 2 – 7 days after injection, with the full effect being seen within 2 weeks.
Botox® treatments can last 3 – 4 months following your initial treatment, and subsequent treatments can last much longer, with results varying from person to person. Continuing treatments are necessary to maintain the effects of Botox® over time.
Dr Rhatigan is an experienced practitioner, having applied Botox® for 10 years in therapeutic areas such as squint and blepharospasm. Whilst you may have seen some adverse publicity in the media, in percentage terms Botox actually has an excellent safety profile. It has been an active treatment for over 10 years in tens of thousands of patients worldwide.
