Other targeted use of Botox in the face are can help provide great results targeting specific beauty issues. One of which is to lessen a gummy smile. As described this is when some displays a large amount of their gum line when the smile, which people can become self conscious about and results in less smiling, which isn't a pleasant choice. Often the cause of a gummy smile is a hyperactive muscle in the upper lip lifting it much higher than usual. With a little Botox treatment administered near to the nose and mouth fold this muscle is relaxed and is blocked from receiving the same level of signals it used to receive, to contract and lift the lip.
Excessive wrinkling around the nose often also associated with smiling is the formation of bunny lines. These are the wrinkles formed around both sides of the nose, when this is more than average it will be due to an overactive nasalis muscle working on the same principles as describe for the gummy smile - therefore a similar process is adopted to deal with bunny lines, where small amounts of Botox are injected into the glabellar muscle.
Marionette lines and Nasolabial folds are another two areas around the mouth which can be prone to large wrinkles and these too can be corrected by injecting the right amount of Botox in the right areas to relax the overactive muscles causing an exaggerated line to form. The same is also true of the creation of frown lines which are also dealt with on the same principles.

Botox is the most widely used anti-wrinkle treatment in the world; it’s a well-known brand name for (short for Botulinum Toxin), which is an injectable anti-ageing treatment. Many people around the world have benefited from the
numerous cosmetic and medical applications derived from Botox.
Botox is a prescription-only drug primarily used as an anti-ageing treatment. It is injected into the
face relaxing the targeted facial muscles, improving the skin's appearance by reducing wrinkles.
Other uses for Botox in non-cosmetic procedures include the treatment of migraines and
hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
Botox treatment is very safe when used by qualified and experienced doctors, which will be the case for Botox at the Cleage Clinic.
Botox is a popular choice for both men and women who are looking to improve their appearance by focusing on reducing winkles and frown lines. Most commonly this will be around the face and neck, which show the most signs of aging early on.
Botox treatment, for cosmetic purposes, is only recommended for people 18 year or older and is popular and suitable for any gender or ethnicity.
For anti-aging treatment Botox is injected into the patient’s face, which relaxes the contraction of facial muscles by blocking nerve impulses. Normally between 3 to 7 days after this treatment, the face muscles relax, this in turn softens and reduces wrinkles and creases in the skin. Unfortunately Botox treatment it is not permanent, so to maintain a consistent look it’s better to schedule re-treatments every few months to prevent further wrinkles from appearing. With re-treatments each injection should also reduce the depth of any new wrinkles. So, in this respect, you can delay the appearance of wrinkles by using Botox treatment as a preventative measure quite easily with a facial treatment only taking about 15-20 minutes.
Yes. Botox is completely safe and as been used cosmetically for well over fifteen years now, with no unexpected negative effects to which many satisfied clients will attest.
Most people experience no side effects at all, but as every individual's make-up is slightly different, some people may experience something. The most common side effects following Botox injections are mild pain or tenderness just around the
point of injection, which would be the case with most injections. This should disappear within 48 hours. Very occasionally, the treatment may cause other muscle groups to relax, giving the appearance of drooping eyebrows or eyelids.
This is very rare and should subside within a few weeks.
A good aesthetic practitioner should say both. Effectively combining the use of both in the right areas in the right amounts should provide you with an outcome that is both effective but natural.
Botox can be used to affect a Facelift, but the use of the terms Facelift has become more blurred over the years and across countries. In its true sense, a Facelift is a surgical procedure requiring anaesthesia; therefore, it comes with the associated risks with any form of surgery. Botox, on the other hand, is applied via injections which are non-surgical and can be done quickly and at a fraction of the cost. Botox provides temporary results, so they will need to be repeated to maintain results. It is ideal for wrinkles but cannot be used to reduce excess sagging skin.
Botox can be applied to a number of areas around the body to effect benefits other than simply aesthetic. Botox is most commonly applied around the face, but it can assist with migraines and sweating. However, the important thing is that you cannot simply say it is primarily suitable for use around the face, as there are a number of facial areas where Botox should not be used or only applied in a very specific way.
This is why you should only seek Botox or Dermal Filler treatments by qualified medical professionals to ensure your treatment is safe and has no side effects.
A very simple explanation is that Botox works by relaxing muscles by blocking nerve signals that would otherwise expand muscle. If you imagine when you tense a muscle, it expands, and if two or more nearby muscles are doing the same thing by each other, they will cause a furrow between them, which is how wrinkles are formed.
On the other hand, dermal fillers aim to fill up any gaps that form due to collagen depletion associated with the ageing process.
There have been a number of well-publicised celebrity aesthetic procedures which have gone wrong, mostly due to excessive amounts of fillers being applied to areas that look natural.
Our expertise is in applying the right procedures to the right areas to ensure you get the results you want as naturally as possible.
The botulinum toxin blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions. By doing so, it temporarily weakens the targeted muscle, allowing it to relax and alleviate tension. This relaxation can provide relief from chronic neck and shoulder pain.
By injecting small amounts of Botox into specific areas of muscle around the head and neck, identified as to be causing the migraines, Botox blocks the release of certain chemicals that transmit pain signals, ultimately reducing the frequency and severity of migraines.
No, bruxism and Masseter Botox are not the same thing.
Bruxism: This is a condition where you grind, gnash, or clench your teeth, often unconsciously, especially during sleep. It can lead to various issues like jaw pain, headaches, and worn-down teeth.
Masseter Botox: This is a treatment where botulinum toxin is injected into the masseter muscle to relax it. It's often used to treat bruxism by reducing the muscle activity that causes teeth grinding and clenching. It can also be used for cosmetic purposes to slim the jawline.
So, while Masseter Botox can be a treatment for bruxism, they are not the same thing. Bruxism is the condition, and Masseter Botox is one of the treatments that can help manage it.
