Botulinum Toxin Injections
Anti-wrinkle injections offer a temporary non-invasive solution to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also be used in preventing (or slowing) the formation of new ones. It works by temporarily stopping the nerve signals to certain facial muscles causing them to relax and the lines they cause to soften and smooth.
Anti-wrinkle injections can also reduce sebum and sweat production of the overlying skin resulting in clearer and smoother skin over the areas targeted. Anti-wrinkle injections can also be used alternatively to decrease and reduce muscle bulk size (particularly with the masseter in jaw-line slimming) and in anti-sweat production.
This procedure is fast, relatively pain free with very minimal downtime and you can resume your daily plans immediately.

Target Areas of concern
Frown Lines
The frown lines, often referred to as the 11 lines, in between the eyebrows can be targeted to reduce a stressed or angry appearance that these can often cause. Resulting in a more relaxed and youthful appearance.
Forehead Lines
The horizontal lines over the forehead formed when raising the eyebrows in surprise which often build with age. If left untreated they can form 'passive' lines which are present when the expression is not formed. Treating this area results in a more youthful and soften look. Passive lines are often harder to treat and may require multiple courses of Anti-wrinkle treatment.
Crow's Feet
Crow's feet, or more flatteringly termed smile lines are the lines which form on the skin on the outside of the eye, often when squinting or smiling which form with age and sun damage. Treating this area results in a smoother more youthful look around the eye.
Lower and Mid Face
Botulinum Toxin can be used to augment and relax targeted muscles in the mid and lower face to reduce their effects. They can be used to reduce smokers' lines around the mouth, a gummy smile, dimpled chin, downturned mouth and bunny lines on the nose. If any of these areas are a concern but you're not sure book a Consultation to find out if you may benefit from these targeted treatments.
Masseter (Jaw-line slimming)
The masseter muscle is a large muscle on the side of your jaw which can build and become bulky if you are prone to jaw-clenching and teeth grinding. Specific botulinum Toxin injections delivered to this muscle can help reduce the bulk of this muscle, and is a great solution for jaw-line slimming and facial contouring. Botox softens and narrows the jawline, creating a more refined, V-shaped look, ideal for those seeking a slimmer, more balanced facial profile without invasive surgery. Best results are achieved after 2-3 treatments but effects with masseter botox last up to 6 months.
Neck Lift
Botox injections into the platysma muscle, as part of the Nefertiti Neck Lift, offer a non-surgical way to achieve a more defined and youthful neck and jawline. By relaxing the platysma muscles, which can pull down on the lower face over time, Botox smooths out neck bands, lifts sagging skin, and improves overall contour. This treatment creates a rejuvenated, sculpted appearance, offering a natural, elegant lift without the need for invasive procedures. Ideal for those looking to refresh their profile, the Nefertiti Lift is quick, effective, and requires minimal downtime.
Anti-Sweating for
the Armpits (Axillae)
Botox injections in the armpits (axillae) provide an effective treatment for excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis. By targeting the sweat glands superficially, Botox blocks the chemical signals that trigger sweating, significantly reducing perspiration in the treated area. This quick, non-surgical procedure can offer long-lasting relief from excessive underarm sweating, helping patients feel more confident and comfortable in social and professional settings. Ideal for those looking for a solution to control sweating that doesn’t respond to antiperspirants, Botox offers a safe and convenient way to stay dry and fresh with minimal downtime. When using botulinum toxin to reduce sweat production, results are seen sooner from 1 week and effects can last for a longer duration (up to 6 months).
01
Consultation
Prior to every treatment, Dr Jessica Czink will discus your specific skin concerns and goals and together you will formulate a personalised treatment plan based on your own concerns, facial anatomy and skin age to suit you. During the consultation, Dr Jessica will fully explore both the risks and the safety measures she implements to minimise these. A full consultation is included prior treatment, the price of which is £50 but this is taken off the cost of your treatment. It is a crucial part of your treatment which ensures that you receive the best treatment plan suited to you and your goals and allows you to have any other questions or hesitations you may answered and explained prior to undergoing the treatment. So you can have your treatment reassured that you are in safe hands with a fully licensed and insured medical expert. The Consultation will take 10-15 minutes.
02
Treatment
The skin is thoroughly cleansed to ensure it is clean and the skin injection sites are marked with a medical pencil. This uses facial anatomy to ensure the correct muscles are targeted and the procedure remains safe and effective. A very thin needle is used and most find this pain free (more like a sharp scratch that lasts less than a second per injection). The treatment itself takes less than 15 minutes.
03
Aftercare
Following the treatment there is very minimal downtime and you can resume your daily activities immediately, but you should refrain from wearing makeup or touching your face for 24 hours and avoid alcohol, heavy exercise or sauna/steam rooms for 24 hours.
