FAQ's
Treatment Areas
Frown Lines
The stubborn frown lines, also known as “number 11’s” are the vertical wrinkles that form between your eyebrows. Over time, deep grooves can form so it may appear that you are permanently angry. Botox addresses these lines by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for frowning and can even help prevent the grooves from developing if addressed at the correct time. With careful placement of the product, you will have smoother skin and a softer appearance.
Forehead Lines
Also known as “worry lines”, forehead horizontal lines that appear across the forehead can be an unwelcome sign of ageing. These wrinkles can be reduced by careful placement of product which ensures a natural look that retains your expressions while smoothing out your wrinkles and giving you younger looking skin.
Crow's Feet
Crow's feet are the creases that form around the eyes when you smile. While they may add character to the face, they can often make you look tired and older. Botox not only reduce the wrinkles, but with an experienced hand you can also look better rested, with eyes looking brighter and more refreshed.
Bunny Lines / Wrinkles Around Nose
“Bunny lines” are wrinkles that form around the nose. As you get older the lines can permanently remain. Three simple injections can reduce these wrinkles to help prevent them from forming deeper over time.
Gummy Smile
Some people feel self-conscious about the excessive gum showing when smiling or laughing. By carefully administering botox to specific muscles, Dr Reena can reduce the elevation of your upper lip, creating a harmonious smile without excessive gum show. This simple and effective procedure offers a subtle transformation that boosts your self-confidence.
Lip Flip
For those who want to have that subtle plumpness of the lips but are hesitant to volumise your lips with dermal filler, this may be the perfect solution for you. When you smile/laugh the lips appear thinner, and for some people it can almost disappear. With carefully placed injections above and below the lips, your lips can be very subtly and delicately lifted, with the added bonus of them looking full when smiling.
Smokers Lines / Lip lines
Smoker's lines, also known as lip lines or vertical lip lines, are the fine wrinkles that develop around the mouth, particularly the upper lip. These lines can give the appearance of aged or prematurely aged skin, even in non-smokers. Botulinum toxin injections can certainly soften these lines and help prevent the grooves from getting deeper. Quite often this treatment is combined with
dermal fillers to treat the permanent wrinkles and collapsed appearance around the mouth.
Nose Tip Lift
For some people, their nose tip droops when laughing/smiling which can emphasise the appearance of the nose. An effective way of subtly reducing this is a small injection to stop the nose from drooping. You may wish to have a straighter nose or a nose tip lift for further beautification with dermal filler. See our dermal filler section on non-surgical nose job for more information.
Nasal Flare
If you have a naturally wide nose you may dislike the appearance when smiling as it can emphasise the width of the nose even further. Botulinum toxin can stop your nose from flaring when smiling which may be the very thing you need to feel more confident when smiling.
Sad Mouth / Downturned Corners
As you age, the corners of the mouth tend to droop creating a sad/stern expression. One of the ways to reduce this is by having injections to relax the muscles (depressor angular oris) which would otherwise pull the corners of the lips down. This is a highly skilled technique and must be completed by someone who has experience and skills but luckily with Dr Reena’s precision in her technique and anatomical knowledge, you can feel rest assured that with careful placement of the product you can have a subtle lift in the corners of the mouth helping you look softer, happier and younger in appearance.
Pebbled Chin
As you get older, the lack of support around the chin forces the muscles to contract, creating a “pebbled chin” effect which looks ageing and unsightly. Using a wrinkle relaxant injection, we can soften this pebbled chin effect. To enhance the support of the chin you may also benefit from dermal filler to provide a more anchoring chin which not only can beautify you naturally but also has great anti- ageing benefits for the lower part of the face. For more information please see the guide on
dermal fillers.
Jowls
The sagging jaw and jowls can make you look older, droopy and it is one of the tell tail signs of ageing. There are many ageing processes of the face which creates the jowls, one of which being the pulling effect of the muscles along the jawline. Botox can subtly reduce this and can tighten to jawline to stop prevent the nature of gravity from pulling down the lower part of face thus helping prevent the jowls from developing so strongly.
