Botox, the most popular treatment for:


- Frown lines between the eyes

- Forehead lines

- Crows feet

If you would like to present a fresher, more youthful appearance to the world but don’t want to undergo invasive surgery, Botox is the treatment for you. Still the most popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure, Botox is the most effective treatment for deep wrinkles and lines.

But Botox not only treats existing lines and wrinkles; it is also one of the only cosmetic treatments that can actually prevent lines and wrinkles from forming. The constant creasing of the skin by the underlying muscles results in permanent wrinkles. By reducing excessive facial movements, Botox prevents wrinkles and lines from forming.

You will look immediately younger with friends and colleagues none the wiser.

The Private Clinic is the UK’s leading company in the non-invasive cosmetic sector and as a result we attract some of the country’s most-respected dermatologists and aestheticians. You can therefore be confident that your individually tailored treatment will achieve just the results that you are hoping for.

A free consultation is the best way to start.


What is Botox®?


Lines and wrinkles are part of the natural process of ageing. They are caused by every day movements and expressions, sun damage, smoking and other factors such as free radicals.

Botox is the trade name for BotulinumToxin and is currently one of the top-ranking non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the UK for moderate to severe frown lines.

Botox was first used in the 1970s to treat children's squints. Its cosmetic potential was then recognised, and it has been used to treat wrinkles since 1990.

Botox works by temporarily reducing the contractions of the facial muscles that cause frown lines.

It is usually used on the upper third of the face, to tackle frown lines, forehead creases and crows' feet around the eyes. Lines around the lips and corners of the mouth are also treatable. Untreated areas of the face aren't affected, so you can still smile and frown, but the skin on the treated areas won't wrinkle as much as usual.

How is Botox® injected?


Very small amount of Botox® are injected into the required areas using a tiny micro needle. This acts by blocking the impulse from the nerve to the muscles, which are related to the lines and wrinkles treated.

The muscles are then relaxed preventing contractions.

Following the treatment with Botox® the skin over the muscles remains smooth and even for up to six months.

Treatment takes about 10-15 minutes, and you can resume normal activities immediately.


Does the injection hurt?

Because the needle is so fine and such small substance quantities are used the pain is minimal. No sedation or local anaesthesia is required. You may experience some itching over the treated area immediately after treatment.


Is Botox® dangerous?

Botox® injections have been used safely and effectively for over ten years to treat many neurological disorders. Each year thousands of patients receive Botox® treatments for a variety of conditions and it is quickly becoming a popular treatment for reversing the visible sign of ageing.

It is injected in such small quantity that is not harmful. The most common side effects are temporary and localised bruising, slight redness of the skin and occasionally slight swelling at the injection site. These side effects correct themselves as the Botox wears off.


How long will it last?

The improvement you will achieve from the procedure will last anywhere up to 6 months. You will notice a gradual fading of its effect at which point, you may return for a new treatment.

The early clinical studies indicate that the duration of the treatment’s benefits is increased over time so that you should require injections less frequently in the future.


How will I look afterwards?

The results are amazing. It may take two to three days to see an improvement and up to one week to see the overall effects. Then the skin will appear smooth and showing a youthful glowing appearance. You will get back to smiling with confidence.


How much does it cost?

Botox treatments start from £180. However, the exact price we quote is individual and depends on many factors so it can only be properly determined by our fully qualified Doctor or Nurse who will assess your condition and guide you to the most suitable treatment options.

The consultation is free and our friendly and highly professional staff will give you cost estimate based on your particular needs.
