Keeping healthy and youthful complexion can become more of a challenge as the years go by. Expression lines and wrinkles become more apparent and no amount of skin creams, lotions or potions can make them disappear. As spring is on its way, you may want to renew and revive your look with a simple-yet-effective treatment to reduce expression lines. This treatment utilizes wrinkle-smoothing injections (Botox).

At Dr. Medispa, situated in the heart of Loughton in Essex, we offer wrinkle-smoothing injections, administered by our director Dr. Munir Somji, a leading figure in aesthetic medicine. Botox injections are highly effective, non-surgical treatment which reduces the appearance of expression lines usually found around areas of the face such as: 

• Frown Lines between the eyes (Glabella or 11’s)
• Forehead lines
• Crow’s feet
• Heavy eyelids
• Creases in the neck
• Bumps on the chin (commonly called cobbled chin)
• Bunny lines (either side of the nose)

How does Botox work?

When injected in to specific areas, Botox temporarily relaxes the muscles which cause expression lines. When expertly administered, it will not affect your ability to laugh, smile, frown and should not leave you looking permanently ‘surprised’. Only medically qualified professionals such as doctors, nurses and dentists can perform this treatment and at Dr. Medispa, Dr Somji will ensure that a natural, subtle result is achieved.

Wrinkle-Smoothing Injections are hugely popular as the treatment suits most people over the age of 25 and as long as you are medically fit and well and Dr. Somji agrees that you will benefit from the treatment, results can be extremely pleasing and last several months.

What happens during a Botox treatment?

• Following your initial consultation, you will be invited to undergo Botox injections.
• You will be asked to complete a standard consent form.
• Your skin will be cleansed and you’ll be made comfortable.
• A very small needle will be used to inject specific amounts of the Botox into your skin. This does not hurt but you may be given some topical anaesthetic if you are particularly nervous or sensitive.
• After treatment, you will be advised on what to do after treatment, such as not bending forward, exercising or rubbing the area for 4 hours.
• You’ll be able to return to your daily activities as there is no downtime or side-effects.

Results can take between 24 hours and a week to take full effect. If you feel after 2 weeks that you’d like a top up to address any areas that require more treatment, this will be fine. If you are healthy and do not smoke or sunbathe excessively, results can last anything between 3 to 6 months.
