Aging is natural and happens to everyone, but looking old is something not many people are comfortable with. Know that there are cosmetic procedures, such as Botox treatment, available to help you look and feel younger.
Frown Lines
Contrary to popular belief, frown lines are not always caused by age. Age is a factor, but repeated facial
movements, such as frowning or squinting, can also create frown lines, and this
means they may develop even in younger adults.
With just 1 injection into each of 5
points between and above the eyebrows, Dysport®/Botox®/Xeomin® stops the signal
from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle
activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown
lines.
Forehead Lines
Sometimes referred to as ‘surprise
lines’, these appear on the forehead when your eyebrows are raised. As you age,
they become more apparent. Excessive lines in this area can give the face and
skin an aged appearance.
BOTOX® can lessen
the effect but may not remove the lines completely. During your consultation,
your practitioner might recommend a combination of BOTOX® and
another treatment, such as dermal fillers.
Bunny Lines
Bunny lines are quite a common
symptom that some of us, but not all of us, have. These are lines that scrunch
up when you wrinkle up your nose; like a bunny.
If we don’t treat these bunny lines
while treating other lines on our face, these begin to look stronger and deeper
while other lines lighten up, creating an uneven and less attractive
appearance. So for some, it’s a great treatment to have done by your Registered
Cosmetic Nurse.
Crow’s feet
Crow’s feet are the lines around the
outer corners of the eyes. These are all but unavoidable, and while they are
referred to as “laugh lines” or “character lines”, they are an inevitable sign
of ageing.
Treating the lines around your eyes
or crow’s feet with Dysport / Botox will help create a refreshed and relaxed
look. The results of using Dysport/Botox on your crow’s feet will soften the
wrinkles around the eyes. Furthermore, it’s not obvious that you have had a
treatment – people just think you look relaxed and fresh.
Under the eyes
Although it is
possible to smooth fine creases underneath the eyes using BOTOX®,
the area must be approached with caution. The muscle that is injected is the same muscle that partially controls the lower eyelid; therefore if too much is
used, or the injection is placed incorrectly, it may lead to a drop of the
lower eyelid.
If it is
under-eye ‘bags’ that you wish to address – that is, the area between the lower
eyelid and the upper cheek, or ‘tear trough – then it might be that a different
treatment would be more effective than BOTOX® or could be used in
combination with BOTOX®.
For example,
‘bags’ under the eyes are often caused by loss of volume in the tear trough
area, meaning dermal fillers may be more suitable.
Grumpy Mouth Lines
Grumpy mouth lines, or DAOs
(Depressor Anguli Oris), are muscles which pull downwards for some expressions
and leave downward lines beside your mouth.
As you age, if you express this way
heavily and leave these lines untreated, you will have an exaggeration of the
lines under your mouth stamped on your face all the time. Botulinum is a
fantastic treatment here for those that need it. It can also give a lovely turn
up at the sides of the mouth.
Jaw reduction
Jaw reduction is for some patients
who prefer not to have a slightly squarish face, and to correct this, Botulinum
toxin, a naturally purified protein, is painlessly administered directly into
the masseter to give more of a V shape to your face.
The effect
takes at least two months before it is apparent, and can last more than a year
in most patients, using the high-dose approach. If using the low-dose approach,
then the treatment needs to be repeated every few months.
Gummy Smile
A gummy smile is when some people
smile, their upper lip elevates too far above their upper teeth, exposing gums
and producing an unattractive smile. This phenomenon can be due to several
factors. One of the reasons is a hyperactive muscle which elevates the upper lip.
Occasionally, the gummy smile is also aggravated by a thin upper lip that
further contributes to the problem by exposing the upper gum even more.
Thankfully, gummy smile reduction is
now possible, simple, and effective. Utilising a non-surgical approach by
injecting small amounts of Botox® into the hyperactive muscle of the upper lip,
Stacey will give you a smile that is natural and carefree. With this procedure,
you can smile without exposing teeth & upper gums too much.
