Wrinkle Injections

Botox can be used to treat all wrinkles which result from normal facial movement. Static wrinkles that lines and folds that are present when the face is resting and are usually the result of gravity and volume loss are best treated with Dermal Fillers.

When injected into specific muscles in the face, it blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscle. This means that the nerve ending cannot tell the muscle to move, hence there will be less wrinkling of the skin in the areas treated.

Where is wrinkle treatment most effective?

Typically, the upper third of the face is where the best treatment results are obtained, commonly for the reduction in crow's feet around the eyes and wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyebrows.

However, Dr Tapan is an advanced Botox expert especially in techniques in the lower face.

Although, treatment in the lower face poses a higher risk of potential side effects, it can be used to create subtle but definite improvements.

A muscle in the lower face called DAO is responsible for pulling down the corners of the mouth and giving a glum expression. When this muscle is treated, there is an obvious lift in the mouth corners and a happier expression.

Bands in the neck can give an aged appearance. The underlying muscles have been treated with an obvious and dramatic improvement.

What areas can botox treatment be applied too?

The most elegant use of Botox® in the lower face is exemplified in the Nefertiti Lift, first reported by Dr Philip Levy from Geneva.

It consists of multiple injections in the lower face to address co-existing problems. Have a look at this patient's side profile:

When the muscles are contracted, there is puckering of the chin, increased appearance of neck bands and more obvious jowling.

Following the Nefertiti Lift, there is a subtle softening of the expressions.

When will I need to return to VIVA Clinic for treatment?

Depending on the area treated, dose used, and how you respond, repeat treatments will be required around every 3 to 6 months. Dr Tapan offers Botox treatments at London locations at competitive prices - from £180 per area/per treatment.
