What is Botox®?
Botulinum toxin is a chemical produced by the botulinum bacteria. Botox® is a protein derived from the toxin, which when injected into a muscle causes it to relax and become inactive.

It stops the muscle from functioning by blocking the chemical messages from the nerve to the muscle. By reducing the movement of the muscle the skin stops being creased and the lines will soften and fade away.

Are Botox® treatments safe?
Botox® is injected in tiny amounts very precisely in specific areas of the face. It has been in use for cosmetic purposes in the UK for decades, and has proved to be extremely safe with minimum side effects. Botox® is licensed in the UK for cosmetic use.

Hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating)
Botox® is an extremely effective temporary cure for excessive underarm sweating. The effects can be seen within one week and last for 5 to 9 months, and in some cases longer. You can avoid this embarrassing condition and the nuisance of several clothing changes every day.


	Your treatment: An initial 1 hour consultation with Karen will help you to decide on what are your requirement and expectations, areas to be treated and after care. Before and after photographs are taken so that you can see the full effect of your treatment. A tiny micro needle is used for minimum discomfort and no anaesthetic is required. The procedure will take approximately 5 minutes. There may be slight redness and swelling of the injected sites which will resolve within an hour. Normal activities can be resumed immediately after your treatment. It may take up to 14 days to see the full effects of your treatment. A follow up consultation with Karen two to three weeks after your treatment will give you the opportunity to have any free top up treatment if required to achieve optimum satisfaction. Botox® will last for three to four months and in some individuals longer.
