Botox Cardiff

Aging of our face relates to loss of skin elasticity and recoil (skin bounce), loss of fat volume on the face and bony changes of aging.

While we have been doing the same expressions of anger and worry since we were children, this loss of skin elasticity starts to leave behind wrinkles along the expression lines.

When you come in for your wrinkle consultation Dr Prashant can discuss the use of some prescription only medicines that are a form of reconstituted Botulinum Toxin Type A.

Tiny doses of this molecule are injected into the muscles on the forehead that cause the worry lines, frown lines or crows feet (around the eyes), the muscles are temporarily weakened leaving you with the appearance of smoother wrinkle free skin.

This smoothening effect can last for 4 – 6 months in most patients, helping you to maintain a fresh, youthful vibrant look.

Other applications of these injections include Jaw Slimming, Smile Balancing, Non-Surgical or Liquid Facelift, and reducing Platysmal or neck bands.
