Wrinkle-Relaxing Injections (Botox)...

Botox - a wrinkle-smoothing treatment offered across East Lancashire and Greater Manchester by Amanda Pierce Aesthetics

Botox is so natural, that everyone notices but nobody knows.

Botox relaxes facial muscles resulting in a smoothing of the skin and a softening of the expression. Worry lines, frown lines, crow's feet and forehead wrinkles can all be dramatically reduced by injecting tiny amounts of botox with a very fine needle.

Over 1 million patients have used botox worldwide for more than 11 years to successfully treat facial lines, allowing the face to appear younger with smoother skin without affecting normal facial expression.

The Consultation

A thorough medical history will be taken during the consultation to ensure that you can be safely treated with Botox. The consultation can be carried out at our own aesthetic clinic in Rawtenstall, Lancashire, at one of our partner salons or we do home visits across Lancashire or the Manchester area. You may choose to go ahead with the treatment at this consultation if you are suitable for treatment but if you would prefer to return at a later date instead, this can be arranged for you. Amanda will discuss with you exactly where to administer several tiny injections to achieve the best results.

The entire procedure takes approximately 10 minutes and discomfort is minimal and brief. An ice pack is used to cool and numb the area. You may resume normal activity immediately. There may be slight redness following the treatment but this generally resolves within an hour or less. Minor bruising occurs in some people but can be covered with make-up. Avoiding Aspirin, Ibuprofen and alcohol prior to the treatment and soon after will minimise the risk of bruising.

The Results

Within days you will see a marked improvement that may continue to improve for as long as a week. A review appointment will be arranged for you after 2 weeks to check the results of your botox and ensure that you are entirely happy with your treatment. Results should last up to 4 months and longer in patients who have had botox treatments regularly. Botox relaxes the overactive muscles whose repeated contractions cause the lines to form. You will still be able to frown, smile or look surprised, without the furrows, creases and wrinkles.
