Wrinkle Reduction/Relaxation treatment: Botulinum Cosmetic Therapy

Over a million people have been safely treated with various brands of Botulinum Toxin A. At MBNS we treat about 30 patients a week, requesting relaxation of frown lines and crow's feet.  Botulinum Toxin is used for the temporary reduction of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows.

These purified proteins have been used in clinical practice for more than 10 years and consequently these medicines are used at the MBNS Clinic. Treatment is simple and effective. Within 10 minutes and after a few tiny injections, there’s a noticeable improvement that can be seen within a few days. There’s no recovery or downtime. You can even receive Botulinum Toxin treatments in your lunch break! Results last from three to six months.

What is Botulinum Toxin A?

This prescribed medicine contains a specially prepared naturally occurring protein that originates from bacteria. It should only be injected by an experienced injector who can make sure that the correct amount is injected in precisely the right places. In this way the desired result with a natural look can be achieved. It works by blocking the nerve impulses, which reduces the movement of the muscles, that cause wrinkles. With less movement, the skin surface gradually smoothes out, and the frown lines between your brows begin to fade.

What is the treatment like? Where can I have it done?

At MBNS, you will receive your consultation and treatment by experienced aesthetic nurse specialists. Before your first treatment you will have to be assessed and if appropriate, have your Botulinum Toxin prescribed by our prescribing nurse. You can be reassured that the nurse specialists at MBNS are some of the most experienced and sought after cosmetic injector-practitioners in the country.

How soon will I see a difference? What kind of results can I expect?

You can expect to see results within 2-14 days after your treatment. Frown lines will look more relaxed and softened. We aim to provide natural looking treatments. Visible results can last from three to six months. After that, you may be ready to return for a follow-up maintenance treatment. With repeated treatments, performed before the full effect has worn off, most people will find that results will last longer over time. Duration of results will depend on your facial expressions.

How soon will I need a second treatment? What happens if I decide not to continue?

Treatments in the first year tend to last three to four months. MBNS will be able to offer you your next appointment before you leave in order to ensure that you are able to keep the appearance you want. If you decide not to continue with Botulinum Toxin treatment, the area between your brows will eventually go back to its pre-treatment appearance.

Botulinum Toxin A is approved in the UK for the treatment of several medical conditions including hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating),  please ask us for further information.

Testimonials

I have always been nervous of needles but the heavy brow and slighty “aged” look I had recently noticed in the mirror made me take a my first brave step to MBNS.

I had heard from a friend that they were extremely professional and discreet (a bonus when you live in a small town) and got great results!
I had my consultation with Paula who seemed to understand what I wanted to achieve without the “botox brow” and was also sympathetic to my fear of needles. Paula put me at ease and talked through the whole procedure as she did it....without using words such as needle or pain! She managed to divert my attention, taught me to wiggle my toes at the right moment and even made me laugh!
Three years on, I’m still nervous of needles but I still pop in for a top up when needed and Paula still manages to make me laugh and best of all....i’m looking great!
