Anti-wrinkle treatment
A small dose of Botulinum A toxin is injected into the targeted facial muscles. This temporarily relaxes these muscles which prevents the formation of static lines and wrinkles (those present all the time without expression) and softens those that are already present. This treatment can also be used to lift and slim the jaw and neck. It is also highly effective for treating teeth grinding (bruxism) and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
There are several brands of Botulinum A toxin available and at Be Yourself Aesthetics, I use Botox and now also Relfydess. Relfydess is the next generation Botulinum A toxin giving longer lasting results of up to 6 months.
