Smooths existing lines and softens their appearance, revealing noticeably younger-looking, refreshed skin overall.
Those fine lines and wrinkles on the face? No, we’re not mad on them either. They’re caused by frequent movement of the skin. And time.
But they’re no longer an inevitable part of life. And at FrownDocs, we offer a range of treatments that can help.
Our trained clinicians will guide you through the various options and advise what will work best for you.
Following consultation, available options may include prescription-only medicines such as BOTOX®, though only where appropriate.
And if an injectable treatment is right for you, we guarantee it’s performed by a fully qualified Doctor.
You’re safe in our hands.
During treatment, you’ll be asked to pull some facial expressions to allow us to assess your facial muscles and take photographs for your records. After disinfecting your skin and marking the target sites, we inject the treatment into each highlighted area. We also offer the use of a vibration device during treatment which research has shown can reduce injection-induced pain.
We’ve introduced pre-treatment ultrasound scanning – as standard – so we can ‘see’ under the skin and pinpoint important structures like veins, arteries and blood vessels before injecting. Find out more.
Results are noticeable within one week, with maximum effect approximately 2 weeks following treatment. Though results have been shown to last for up to 6 months, between 3-6 months is more common. A minimum of 3 months between treatments is required.
Botulinum toxin acts by blocking acetylcholine, the chemical which transmits electrical impulses that cause muscle contractions. It is usually injected into the face to temporarily paralyse the muscles and has a temporary effect on the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. It is also used to treat certain medical conditions, including excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), neuromuscular disorders and migraines.
