Botulinum toxin (Botox) - three areas at The Harley Street Dermatology Clinic

Botox is a cosmetic anti-ageing procedure which involves injecting weakened strains of toxins into the tissue to impair the function of facial nerves. Botox injections are usually performed on the areas of the face that are prone to the effects of ageing, such as the outer portions of the eye, the chin, the mouth and the forehead. There is a loss of sensation and movement in the treated areas, which slows the formation of wrinkles, crow’s feet and deep furrows as a result of ageing.
