What is Botox - Botulinum Toxin?
Botulinum toxin type A or Botox in london is one of the best known and popular non-surgical treatments for treating lines and wrinkles caused by smiling, laughing and frowning. It is used to prevent the muscle contractions that cause furrows and fine lines when the face is in motion. In the experienced hands of our cosmetic doctors, Botulinum toxin does not “freeze” muscles but is used in an artistic way to restore a relaxed and more youthful appearance to the face, lending a subtle lift to the brows.
Please note:
We only used botulinum toxin approved by the FDA, in Europe and the UK for cosmetic treatment (manufactured by Allergan and Gladerma ).
What is a facial visualiser?
Skin Revive™ is one of the only clinics in the country which offers you the chance to see your face with different or enhanced features before undergoing minor surgical or non surgical procedures.
How does Botulinum Toxin work?
Botulinum Toxin blocks impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles that are related to expression lines. Botulinum Toxin relaxes the muscles so that they do not contract. After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing normal facial expression to be unaffected.
How much does it cost?
Price starts from £99. More details...

What do I need to know before the treatment?
Of course, before starting treatment, you’ll want to discuss your medical history and what you can expect from your treatment with your Skin Revive cosmetic doctor. Botox Cosmetic® should not be used if you have a history of previous allergy to botulinum toxins or are on antibiotic medications. They may not be suitable for those with an active infection such as acne at the injection site or a history of disease affecting your nerves and muscles.
What is the treatment like?
Cosmetic “regeneration” with Botulinum Toxin is a simple and safe procedure. Using a tiny micro-needle, a very small amount of Botulinum Toxin is injected very precisely into several locations on the face. The needle is so fine and only a small amount is used, therefore the pain associated with the injection is minimal. Most patients compare the sensation to a mosquito bite. No sedation or local anaesthetic is required. You can resume normal activities immediately afterwards and even drive yourself home or back to your place of work.
Are there any side effects?
Some patients experience a slight temporary bruising at the injection site. This may be covered up with make up. In some cases, the toxin can migrate and cause temporary weakness to nearby small muscles. In rare cases there can be drooping of an eyelid or asymmetry of facial expression. The risk of any side effect depends upon the muscles injected. Your doctor will discuss this with you in detail before the treatment. Because the effects of Botulinum Toxin are completely reversible, any side effects are temporary, lasting only a few weeks.
What results can I expect?
If dynamic wrinkles make you look older than you are, cosmetic “regeneration” can smooth these out and give you a more youthful and pleasing appearance. However, this treatment cannot improve wrinkles due to aging and sun-damaged skin since they are unrelated to facial muscle contractions. Muscle relaxing injections will not improve sagging skin or replace the need for a facelift or brow lift.
What are the limitations of Botulinum Toxin?
Unfortunately, Botulinum Toxin injections are a temporary solution for the treatment of dynamic wrinkles. The effects of the injections last from three to six months. You will need to have injections about two to three times a year. The early clinical studies indicate that the duration of the treatment benefits is increased over time so that you should require fewer injections in the future. The duration of the effect varies from patient to patient and may be less effective for those over 65 years of age.
Is Botulinum Toxin used to treat other symptoms?
Yes, Botulinum Toxin has been used for over twenty years on thousands of patients to treat blepharospasm associated with dystonia.
Is Botox safe long term?
Botox® has been used in patients to manage various conditions for over 10 years and in the UK for well over 15 years around the world.
