Botulinum A, or commonly known as Botox - Is a wrinkle reduction treatment. Wrinkles and fine lines result from aging, muscle activity and genetic predisposition. Also hormones have an influence and smoking can increase the likelihood of wrinkles. Whilst we can control some factors you cannot influence all factors and that is why we all develop wrinkles as we age.

Botulinum A (eg Botox, Dysport, Azzalure) is a substance that is produced by bacteria, which is then highly refined and purified, diluted and used in therapeutic doses. It is administered by injecting into a specific facial muscle and then acts as a muscle relaxant.

Both men and women can benefit from Botulinum A. However, if you are pregnant or a nursing mother, suffer from neuromuscular diseases such as Bell’s Palsy or Myasthenia Gravis this treatment is not recommended.

Rovolax and Juverderml Fillers are a hyaluronic acid gel. This is a natural substance occurring in the body and is resorbable and therefore non-permanent. It softens deep lines and plumps up the skin from below. Sometimes a combination of Botulinum A and filler produces the best result.
