We explore everything you need to know about Botox® including what the procedure involves, the benefits and how we provide this treatment at Botox® Surrey Clinic and Botox® Harpenden Clinic.
Botulinum Toxin, commonly referred to as Botox® is a FDA Approved common and painless procedure.
Botox® is an injectable wrinkle muscle relaxer. It uses botulinum toxin type A, to temporarily paralyze a muscle. This then, as a great effect reduces the unsightly appearance of facial lines and wrinkles.
Botox® treatments are minimally invasive. It’s considered a safe and effective cosmetic treatment with millions of treatments carried out worldwide on a daily basis.
Mostly it is used to treat fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and the forehead for a more youthful appearance. Botox® can reduce the appearance of aging and restore a more radiant look.
Essentially, Botox® is a cosmetic procedure however can also be used for a range of health benefits too.
Botox® is used by both men and women. It is often used between the eyebrows to smooth the forehead, lift the eyebrows and diminish Crow’s feet.
Although Botox® originally was created to reduce the signs of wrinkles and lines associated with aging, ample research of doctors has discovered that Botox® can be used for many other medical benefits.

Botox® has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of migraines.

With these improvements, patients often experience improved self-esteem, confidence and self-image directly impacting their overall wellbeing.
We now offer a range of Advanced Botox® treatments which are a little more complex but use the same Botox® procedure.
1. Gummy Smile
The upper lip may widen too far exposing the gums when you smile, which can make people feel self-conscious. This happens due to the hyperactive upper lip muscles. our advanced Gummy smile treatment injects Botox® in the the levator labii superioris muscles to reduce the movement of the upper lips when smiling. This advanced treatment is available at Surrey and Harpenden.
Your sweat glands work when you get a message from the body’s nervous system, if they get too many messages they keep on working and you can sweat excessively. This is called hyperhidrosis; if this happens under your arms it is called axillary hyperhidrosis. Our advanced Botox® treatments given by injection into the skin can prevent this from reoccurring. When injected into the skin where you are sweating, Botox® blocks the signals from the nervous system that supply the sweat glands; this stops them working so hard and prevents them from producing too much sweat.
With age, the facial and neck muscles may loose tone and the skin may sag. The Nefertiti neck lift is a Advanced technique whereby multiple injections of Botulinum Toxin Type A are administered along the lower jawline as well as down the side of the neck along the platysma muscle, to improve the contour and overall definition of the jawline, redefine and rebalance the underlying active muscles which will result in a ‘uplifting’ in the neck and jawline area.
The jawline muscles over time can become square shaped, resulting in a more aged appearance. Our advanced Botox® treatments for Slimming the Jawline can provide a more youthful look and feel. Also known as The Masseters reduction is a simple yet effective procedure that involves the injection of the Botox® type A into the large masseter muscles to create a slim and more feminine jawline.
5. Eyebrow Lift
A Botox® Brow Lift also called an Eyebrow lift, is a non-surgical procedure that treats frown lines between the eyebrows. With the use of FDA-approved Botox®, we can elevate your eyebrows through relaxing the muscles. Small injections of Botox® are also administered into the forehead muscles (called the frontalis muscle) to create an overall smoothing effect, while elevating the eyebrows thanks to the relaxed muscles pulling them up.
Small amounts of Botox® are injected into the muscle of the problem area. The Botox® toxin relaxes the muscle by hindering all signals that are normally made from the nerve to contract the muscle. You then achieve a smoothed-out appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Once the injection is made, the muscle will no longer be able to contract–allowing the wrinkles to soften and completely disappear over time. The most common areas for Botox® injections are normally located in the eyebrow area–where frown lines occur–and around the eyes–crow’s feet–and the forehead. The effect of the treatment will usually last for around 3-4 months and you will require a top up to maintain the results.
Most importantly, Botox® treatments are literally painless. The maximum pain you will experience is the prick/pinching as the needle is being injected into the skin. However, your Consultant may be able to apply a topical numbing agent before the procedure if your not a needle person.
