As well as cosmetic dentistry, at Solihull Smile Spa we can
provide a number of different facial treatments, designed to help you feel better
about your appearance and help you smile with confidence. One of the most
popular facial treatments that we offer is Botox®, which is the trade name for
the protein and neurotoxin Botulinum Toxin.
The protein used in Botox® treatment, although originally
used to treat “crossed eyes” and eye spasms, is commonly used for cosmetic
purposes. Wrinkle relaxing injections with Botulinum Toxin are also amongst the
most popular of non-invasive cosmetic treatments in the UK and even the rest of
the world. This kind of treatment is highly effective for helping to lessen the
appearance of deep lines and wrinkled skin.
If you are considering Botox® Solihull treatment, you will
understandably want to learn more about how it works and how it affects the
lines or wrinkles in your skin.
How does Botox® work?
During Botox® treatment, Botulinum Toxin is injected into
the desired areas of the skin. Commonly treated areas can include crow’s feet
at the eyes, frown lines between the eyebrows, worry lines, bunny lines, or as
treatment for gummy smiles or an eyebrow lift.
When our facial muscles contract, over time wrinkles and
deep lines form in our skin. As we age, our skin can lose some of its
elasticity, so we when we smile, laugh or frown, these muscle contractions lead
to the quicker formation of wrinkles.
Botox® treatment helps to soften these dynamic lines by stopping
the muscles from contracting. For a muscle to contract, a nerve must send it a
signal; Botox® works by blocking this signal, so the muscle doesn’t know that
it is supposed to contract. When the muscles in the treated area don’t
contract, this helps to prevent wrinkles from forming, and although it doesn’t
completely remove existing wrinkles, it can lessen their appearance.
Are there side effects?
After treatment, as it is non-invasive, you can continue
with your day, whether this be going back to work, or getting on with leisure
activities, often without colleagues or friends having any idea that you have
had Botox® injections. The only real side effects are that the skin is likely
to be slightly red and can swell slightly where the injections have been made,
however, makeup can be safely applied straight away, so these effects can be
hidden. Treatment leaves you with a youthful appearance, with your lines and
wrinkles smoothed out for as long as 4 months.
Why choose Botox® Solihull treatment?
When you are looking to go ahead
with Botox®, it’s important to always
ensure that all cosmetic practitioners are fully trained. An untrained and
inexperienced practitioner could potentially do you a lot more harm than good.
You can be assured that all Smile Spa Botox® Solihull staff are highly trained
and experienced in performing Botox® injections to different areas of the face.
As
with any cosmetic treatment, it is always vital to find a clinic with great
customer service and practitioners with a gentle, friendly and caring approach.
At Smile Spa Solihull, we are CQC (Care Quality Commission) compliant and take
great pride in providing excellent customer service.
