anti-wrinkle injections
Botulinum Toxin injections are one of the most common treatments we perform. That’s because they can be highly effective in reducing forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and so much more.
They can also help with lower face ageing, gummy smiles, grinding the teeth, dimpled chin, and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
Done correctly and with the premium products we use at Kate Hume Aesthetics, Botulinum Toxin can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and can even prevent the development of new wrinkles over time.
Best of all, it’s fast, affordable, and relatively pain-free.
​
HOW DOES IT WORK?
​
Botulinum toxin (often referred to by the name brand Botox) works by blocking the electrical impulses that cause your facial muscles to contract.
This reduces the ability of the muscles to move, and so the overlying skin softens. This will reduce wrinkles and give your face a smooth and wrinkle-free appearance. The face will not appear frozen with my natural techniques, you can expect a degree of movement.
WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED WITH ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS?
Frown
These vertical lines appear between your eyebrows – they’re sometimes referred to as ’11s’ lines.
Prominent lines in this area can often make you look tired and/or angry. Frown line injections can make you look more relaxed and youthful.
Forehead
Horizontal forehead lines or ‘surprise lines’ become more obvious as you age.
Excessive lines and furrows in this area can make you look older beyond your years, but forehead line injections soften and smooth your appearance.
Crow’s feet
Softening the harsh lines and deep wrinkles around your eyes can make you look more youthful and relaxed.
​
Dimpled chin
Orange peel dimpling of the chin can be smoothed with just a couple of injections with toxin.
​
Sad mouth
Carefully placed toxin can prevent the corners of the mouth pulling down, correcting the sad mouth appearance.
​
Gummy smile
Too much gum on show when smiling can cause embarrassment for some. Toxin can prevent the top lip raising up and showing too much gum.
​
Neck lift
Known as a Nefertiti neck lift, botox can be injected along the large muscle that pulls down on the jawline and down the neck.
