This treatment can be used in other areas of the face to treat areas such as ‘gummy smiles’, around the mouth, chin to prevent dimpling and the masseter muscles. If you wish to enquire about the lower face, please do this at the time of consultation.
Yes you can however, not every individual is suitable for all 3 areas in the upper face. Individuals who have ‘hooding’ on their eyelids (excess skin) are unlikely to be suitable to have their forehead treat. This is because the forehead is known as an elevator (frontalis muscle) and by relaxing this muscle may lead to brow descent, which in result will cause the eyelids to become much heavier. Likewise on any individual the forehead is not a muscle which can be treat on its own for this reason. Treating the muscle alone will cause a ‘heaviness’ to the eyes and therefore the frown must be treat with the forehead.

The treatment takes up to 14 days to work although this does vary on each individual. A review is carried out after 14 days, to assess the muscle movement and it is your responsibility to ensure this appointment is booked. Please note that a review appointment will not be carried out beyond the 14th day.
Minimal pain will be experienced during this procedure. You may experience a dull headache after treatment and possible bruising.
The effects from this treatment will last 12 weeks. As muscle action slowly returns, the lines and wrinkles begin to reappear and need to be treated again. The lines and wrinkles often appear less severe with time because the muscles are shrinking. However, every individual is different and therefore results can vary. External factors can have an impact on how long this treatment lasts such as lifestyle factors, sun exposure, age and skin.
