Description 

At LASE, we use Botox which is the leading brand name for Botulinum toxin A. It has the longest standing history of safety and has held an FDA approval since 1989.

Botox is a highly purified protein made from Botulinum toxin that is injected in tiny doses into specific muscles in the face and neck to reduce lines and wrinkles. It works by inhibiting the release of a chemical called Acetylcholine which is required for normal muscle activity. This results in weakened muscles that have a reduced ability to contract, resulting in a softened, smoother appearance of the area treated. 

Botox is commonly used in the frown, forehead and around the eyes but it can also be used in the lower face, neck and armpits for excessive sweating (Hyperhidrosis).

Treatments in the face and neck will last for approximately 3-4 months. Hyperhidrosis treatments will last for approximately 6-8 months.

Hyperhidrosis treatments can only be carried out in a CQC regulated premises. Be sure to check with your provider before going ahead with this treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please read the frequently asked questions below which may answer any queries or ease any concerns you may have.

How do you keep yourself safe?

The brand name Botox is often used as a generic name for all anti-wrinkle treatments using toxins. We believe in honesty when treating patients and know the importance in explaining to patients exactly what product we are using. Remember, Botox is a prescription only medicine. It can only be prescribed by doctors, dentists and nurse prescribers and can only be acquired from regulated pharmacy companies.

If the injector is not medically qualified, they cannot acquire Botox from a pharmacy. Many unscrupulous injectors resort to getting alternative substances from unregulated marketplaces such as the internet. More alarmingly, they are then willing to inject it and advertise the unknown substance as Botox, luring patients by offering cheap deals that are not safe.

Don’t be afraid to ask your practitioner their credentials and experience.
