How does wrinkle relaxing work?

Botox, is a Prescription Only Medicine that is used when we smooth wrinkles. It works by blocking signals from nerves to muscles, stopping them from contracting.

This reduces the appearance of wrinkles, because the repeated muscle contractions (thanks to expressions like smiling or frowning), cause the skin above the muscle to bunch up and crease. By relaxing the muscles, Botox smoothens out those pesky lines, giving your skin that fresh, youthful look.

The results are oh-so-natural, leaving you with a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance without looking like you've had any work done. Finally, the results last for 3-4 months.

What are the risks with wrinkle relaxing?

While Botox is generally safe when administered by a skilled professional, there are some potential side effects to keep in mind.

One potential complication is called “ptosis”, this is when your eyelid droops…but this is very rare.
