Eyebrow Lifts
Precision placed Botulinim Toxin (we use the brand BOTOX®) can give a subtle and temporary lift without the risks associated with surgery.
Our eybrow lift treatment using Botulinim Toxin takes a few minutes to perform and the results can last 3-4 months.
A non-surgical brow lift can help to elevate the brows and open the eyes, making you look more refreshed.
If you would like find out more about your suitability for a non surgical eyebrow lift using Botulinim Toxin please call us to discuss further.
Treatment Times
Wrinkle relaxing treatments are quick and easy to administer but the results are not instantaneous unlike dermal filler treatments. There has to be a period of time to allow the Botulinum Toxin to work.
Dr May usually expects the wrinkle reduction to start showing after 4 days with maximum effect at 2 weeks. We will review you at that point and if necessary perform a top up.
Most treatments will last from 3-6 months before you notice the wrinkles returning at which point you can return for a top up and re-treatment.

How It WorksWrinkles form when muscles
Book a Consultation
Wrinkles form when muscles
contract. We relax the muscle.
Wrinkle relaxing treatment uses very small amounts of Botulinum Toxin injected precisely into the muscles responsible for creating expression lines. By temporarily reducing that muscle activity, the overlying skin smooths out; with results that look natural, not frozen.
Dr May assesses your skin and facial structure at a personal consultation and develops a treatment plan tailored to what you want to achieve.

Facial Slimming & Jaw Reduction
Reducing the bulk of the masseter muscle to slim a wide or square jawline and soften facial shape.
