London Botox Treatments For Frown, Worry Lines, Crow's Feet and more

Lines and Wrinkles around the face can develop over time and cause us to look older than we really feel. The treatment we all know as Botox® (botulinum toxin) has been formally approved for cosmetic use to reduce these lines and exaggerated facial expression lines. 

Botox is used in over 2 million people in the US every year for wrinkle treatment and has been around for more than 20 years primarily used for medical conditions previously.

It is safe, effective and quick with a few injections under the skin. Drury Lane's dedicated cosmetic professionals in London are highly trained in Botox® wrinkle treatment injection techniques using very fine needles that cause virtually no pain.

How can Botox® help me?

Botox® is a safe, naturally occurring substance that causes muscle relaxation typically lasting three to four months. In high doses Botox® will weaken muscles substantially, while in lower doses, the relaxation and weakening are subtle. These effects can be harnessed by your cosmetic professional to improve frown lines between the brows, crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes, horizontal lines in the forehead, and eyebrow height and shape. Botox® can also be used to treat vertical lip lines, down-turn at the lips, and twitching or spasm of the eyelids, cheeks and face.

How is Botox® administered?

After reviewing your specific concerns and medical history, your cosmetic professional at Drury Lane London will advise you of the best uses for Botox® in your situation. It is injected with a tiny needle directly into the muscle(s) causing wrinkles and spasms to relax. Mildly uncomfortable, the injections take only a few seconds. Effects begin to be visible at two or three days and usually fully evident by one week. Bruising rarely occurs and fades naturally. Improvements in facial appearance and muscle relaxation typically last three to four months.

What are the risks?

Bruising can occur with any injection. Infection is extremely uncommon as the procedure is done under a strictly controlled environment. Botox® can rarely induce weakness in a nearby muscle, causing asymmetry, or a droopy eyelid or lip. To minimise this risk, your cosmetic professional at Drury Lane London will recommend that you avoid touching the injected areas for several hours so that the Botox® will bind to the intended muscles only.
