botox treatments

In February 06, a licence was given for the use of Botox for some cosmetic treatments. Since then it has been rebranded as Vistabel. In the UK the only product that has a licence to treat frown lines (glabellar area) is Vistabel. Other areas of the face can be treated off 'licence' and this has been done safely for over 10 years.

Botulinum toxin type A blocks impulses that cause the facial muscles to contract. The action is never permanent. Facial lines are caused by repeated use of the facial muscles of expression such as squinting and frowning. Therefore reducing the amount of facial muscle movement causes lines to be softened.

Doctors have used Botulinum Toxin type A in medical practice for over 15 years for treatment of muscle spasticity in conditions such as cerebral palsy, dystonia and facial spasms. Botox has also been shown to improve headaches such as migraines when areas in the upper part of the face are treated and hyperhydrosis ( excessive sweating).

Data shows treatments are safe with a few short term side effects such as minimal bruising at the injection sites and minor headaches which are short lived.

New research shows botulinum toxin treatments to the upper third of the face delay ageing, find out more.
