Wrinkle Softening
Most commonly used to treat frown lines, crows feet around the eyes, and forehead lines.
It works by relaxing muscles and temporarily blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles, which reduces the muscle contractions that cause lines and wrinkles. Our team can work with you to decide whether you prefer the frozen look or a more natural appearance. After injection, we recommend a review appointment 14-21 days later, where we can make any tweaks. The longevity varies from person to person, but typically anti-wrinkle treatment will last around 3-6 months.
Bruxism (Jaw Clenching)
Another use of botulinum toxin type A is injecting the masseter muscle to relieve bruxism (jaw clenching). This works by relaxing the overactive jaw muscles responsible for teeth grinding and clenching. This treatment helps reduce muscle tension, alleviating discomfort and headaches, preventing tooth damage, and softening the jawline’s appearance. Results typically last 3-6 months, providing relief from symptoms and a more balanced facial look.
