Conditions Treated
Botox London for Crows Feet
Crows Feet are a highly common concern among both genders, they are the deep-set wrinkles that are etched within the corner of the eye causing an old expression. As we age, the natural elasticity of the skin is lost, and external factors like smoking and sun exposure don’t help this. This causes many patients to form the infamous Crows Feet.
Often, they occur in middle age but they can also be present earlier in people with unhealthy lifestyles, genetic reasons or overexposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays.
Botox treatment and anti wrinkle injections for Crows feet are some of the most common treatments we provide due to the fantastic results seen in so many of our patients. Botox injections work fast, relaxing underlying muscle activity, before complete muscle relaxation within a couple of days.
The results of anti wrinkle injections for Crows Feet are phenomenal, with years sliced off the patient. One study in 2016, which assessed 1,362 participants for Botox treatment, reported that it can last up to four months. We also see a similar experience with our patients, which is we tend to recommend follow-up appointments in the future to target the same area or different problem areas.
Recovery is straightforward with no need for anaesthesia, it squeezes nicely into your lunchtime hour so you should be able to return home (or to work!) with little to no side effects.
Botox London for Furrowing Frown Lines
Frown lines are highly prevalent and a natural consequence of the effects of ageing. They appear due to the knitting of the tissue between the eyebrows, causing permanent creases that are evidence of your frown. Years of eye squinting and facial expressions cause repeated contraction of the muscles, resulting in fine lines and deep-set wrinkles.
For many patients, this causes them to appear angry or sad, creating an appearance that patients are not comfortable with. Ultimately, patients feel lower self-esteem and are unhappy with their appearance. Botox injections are highly effective for smoothing out the skin, giving a younger and youthful look.
Squeezing a session into your schedule, Botox injections can take roughly thirty minutes with one of our skilled cosmetic experts. Due to medical advancements in Botox practice, we can make you look natural with a relaxed face, unlike the previous frozen expressions many Botox patients used to have! Additionally, regular top-ups of Botox London injections are highly effective in maintaining this look well into your ageing years.
Relax, Don’t Sweat It. Botox for Hyperhidrosis
Excessive sweating is highly prevalent, affecting nearly 2% of adults, with men being more likely to have this condition than women. Many see it as a problem because it feels unnatural, causes social concerns and ultimately lowers self-esteem. Annoying damp patches of sweat under the armpits are almost always noticeable by others in the workplace or at special events – causing a great deal of concern for some patients.
Some people have genetic issues or existing medical conditions, which might make them more prone to sweating with overactive sweat glands.
At Juvea, we understand that excessive sweating, otherwise known as hyperhidrosis can be a real damper on the mood. This is why we use Botox injections to lower the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter or chemical produced by the body responsible for promoting the activation of sweat glands.
Botox injections can be injected directly into the armpits, palms of the hand or even soles of the feet. Patients will notice the effects of Botox almost instantly, with many patients feeling a great deal of satisfaction after just one treatment. After a few months, Botox may wear off, which is why we suggest additional treatment sessions to ensure your sweat glands are controlled.
Whilst cosmetic treatments like Botox can be considered purely aesthetic by some people, when used for conditions like excess sweating, we think the benefits are on a much deeper level than just aesthetics.
Smile Like You Mean It. Botox for Gummy Smile.
A gummy smile, which is medically called excessive gingival display, is when there is a large ratio of gum visible compared to teeth. This type of smile can cause a lack of self-esteem and lower self-confidence.
Medically it is caused by the hyperfunction of the upper lip elevator muscle or by vertical growth of the bone of the maxilla. It is believed to be the cause of genetics, with nearly 14% of women and 7% of men exhibiting unnatural gummy smiles. However, many also look for gummy smile treatments with botulinum toxin, with a report of 569,160 gingivectomies performed on men in 2005, according to the American Dental Association Health Policy Institute.
With Botox Injections, you can finally smile like you mean it, without the embarrassment, or the lack of confidence. Botox injections have been highly effective in improving a patient’s gummy smile by targeting the upper lip elevator facial muscles. Paralysing these muscles inhibits the contraction of the upper lip when smiling and prevents a gummy smile.
When compared to surgical procedures, it is highly effective, less invasive, and certainly less expensive. Additionally, the effects tend to last as long as six months with further recurring treatments in the future, to keep you smiling.
Botox for Wide Jaw
Usually, the result of genetics is caused by an overgrowth in the jawbone, which can develop as a by-product of the condition acromegaly. Whilst many men seek out a wide jaw, women with a wide jaw often look for jaw reduction treatments.
The wide jaw can be the result of oversized muscle in the face, such as the masseter muscle, which grows through exercising the jaw or grinding the teeth.
Botox injection into the masseter muscle is highly beneficial for patients who are unhappy with the physical appearance of their jaw. Unlike surgical intervention, which is highly invasive and may pose further risks, masseter botox treatment is a minimally invasive technique that can make a big impact on jaw reduction.
Masseter botox injections can improve the physical appearance of the jawline, giving a more desirable feminine look that is highly appreciated by women with wide jaws.
As well as masseter Botox London, injections can also be used to combat the jaw pain caused by teeth grinding.
Botox for Frantic Forehead Lines
Forehead lines are generally present as the result of ageing, giving a tired appearance to the face. Affecting both genders, one study reported a higher presence in patients who were more stressed than average, not in one gender more than the other.
They appear on our faces and show signs of stress and ageing – over time. Another issue is that some patients can have more forehead wrinkles at an earlier age, causing deep-set wrinkles. That’s why anti wrinkle treatments are one of our most popular services.
This is why many seek Botox injections at Juvea because, with our expert training, we feel confident in being able to rejuvenate your forehead. Botox temporarily paralyses the muscles of the brow normally contracting abnormally, to promote smoother skin and a more desirable appearance, pleasing to the eye. Our patients look younger, happier and more confident. Our treatments last a few months, but we can schedule appointments in the future to keep you looking young.
