Botox Treatments at Alan ReneEvery time we frown, squint or smile the skin is creased in the areas of greatest use. The more expressive you are the deeper the lines become. These expression lines include crow's feet, worry lines and frown lines. As we age, collagen production slows down and the problem accelerates as we are less able to repair the damage.How does botox work?Botox temporarily blocks the nerve endings to the facial muscles thereby relaxing them. By reducing muscle movement, the skin stops being creased and is allowed to recover, causing the lines to soften and fade away. Over time the patient can retrain the facial muscles to be less expressive by breaking the habit of subconscious overuse. Is it safe? The cosmetic benefits of Botox were discovered in 1990 and it has been used effectively and safely ever since. What happens during treatment? The treatment involves injecting very small doses of Botox via an extremely fine needle into the appropriate area. This sometimes causes a brief stinging sensation. Discomfort is so mild that anaesthesia is not required. Normal activity can be resumed immediately after the procedure. Dr Higson carries out the course of treatment.- A full medical history and facial skin examination is included. The choices of non-surgical and surgical procedures will be discussed. Dr Higson is insured through the Medical Defence Union. >What are the results like?
