BOTOX
TREATMENTS AT PURE
|
|
Botox
is an effective anti-ageing treatment to smooth fine lines and
wrinkles and is particularly effective around the eyes and
forehead. Treatments and consultations are provided at
all PURE locations, by a fully qualified doctor who has
undergone additional Botox specific training. Our
approach to anti-ageing is, like the PURE philosophy, very
much about treating the individual and tailoring a solution to
suit. |

The
treatment takes around 20 minutes. The doctor will ask you to
use certain muscles in the face to observe how they work.
Areas to be treated are marked and then injected using a very
fine short needle. This may cause slight but brief discomfort.
After the injections the area may have some slight redness and
swelling which resolves after one to two hours. The protocol
of injection (doses, number of injections) will be decided
based on the expectations of the patient and the clinical
examination, looking in particular at the way the patient
expresses themselves; for example, frowning, raising the
eyebrows or smiling may accentuate the facial lines.
The
full effect is seen 1 to 2 weeks after the procedure and
usually lasts from 2 to 6 months. The cost of the
treatment ranges between £200-£300 depending on the number
of areas to be treated.
This also includes follow up consultation. |

What
is Botox?
|
|
|
|
|
Botulinum
Toxin (derived from the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum)
blocks the release of acetylcholine, which is a chemical
substance responsible for muscle contraction. When injected
into muscles, the toxin blocks transmission between the nerve
endings and muscle fibres around the injection site to cause
temporary relaxing of the muscle.
When
injected into the facial muscles this leaves the overlying
skin looking smooth and less wrinkled.
Botulinum toxin injections can soften the lines of the
forehead, the frown lines and the crow's feet around the eyes.
Wrinkle relaxing treatment works only on the specific
muscles injected leaving surrounding muscles to function as
usual, so that your face is not expressionless. The effect is
completely reversible and generally lasts for 2 to 6 months.
The procedure is safe and most side effects minor, temporary
and resolve with time.
For the first year treatments every four months are
recommended to ‘re-educate’ the facial muscles. Thereafter
treatments may be less frequent until longer maintenance
treatments of up to a year may be all that is required. This
varies from patient to patient. |
