Botox® Alderley Edge
If you live in Alderley Edge or surrounding areas, make sure to book your Botox® consultation with leading local medispa for injectables – Doctor Nyla’s
As we age, wrinkles become more defined across our skin as we naturally lose elasticity. Doctor Nyla suggests the best time to consider Botox is when you notice these expression lines are present even when static.
When we inject Botox into the skin, it blocks the nerve endings from releasing a chemical that causes muscles to contract. This means the muscles are relaxed and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is reduced.
At Dr Nyla’s medispa, we provide Botox injections and anti-wrinkle treatments to our customers in Alderley Edge and the surrounding areas.
Ideal areas for treatment are those wrinkles caused by muscles that don’t have a particularly significant function such as the crows’ feet the frowning muscles and the muscles that elevate the brow.
The best time to consider having BOTOX® at Alderley Edge is when you begin to notice that your dynamic lines (these are the wrinkles that only appear through expression) appear regardless of expression and form even when static. This usually happens in your mid 30’s but of course, varies depending on each person, their lifestyle, and environment. Botox® works best at this stage, rather than with deeply etched lines, which are more difficult to smooth the appearance of later on.
Botox Treatment in Alderley Edge
Botox remains one of the most affordable, fastest working safe and effective non-surgical, anti-ageing treatments available and is one of our most popular treatments in the Alderley Edge area.
All Botox® treatments at the Medispa are performed only by the most experienced doctors and nurses as patients’ safety is paramount.
Dr Nyla is one of the most successful aesthetic clinics around Alderley Edge, with exceptional patient satisfaction. This is why our clients continue to return to our medispas.
Botox can be safely used to optimise results with other non-surgical lifting and tightening treatments including Ultherapy, M22 Laser and Exilis Elite. These treatments will complement and simultaneously tighten the surrounding skin as the botox serves to soften the lines and wrinkles giving you a very natural improved refreshed appearance.
If you live in Alderley Edge, or the surrounding areas, Doctor Nyla’s experienced and friendly staff should be your first port of call if you’re interested in understanding more about Botox.
Nerve endings release a chemical substance, acetylcholine, which transmits contraction information to the muscle. Botox® is a type A botulinum toxin whose role is to temporarily block the release of acetylcholine. The muscle is then relaxed and the wrinkles is reduced.
Frown lines are caused by the contraction of three muscles, the procerus, located between the eyebrow, and the corrugators above each eyebrow. Botox® is injected into these different muscles that cause the line. The frontails and orbicularis muscles can also be injected.
Depending on the amount of areas being treated, a Botox® appointment can be done in as little as 15 minutes.
Botox® lasts for three to six months depending on the client.
During a Botox® treatment, Doctor Nyla will use her specially developed technique to administer a controlled amount of Botox® into the patient using a small needle. An optional numbing cream is available, but the procedure is relatively pain free.
Botox® results can be seen after a few days, with the full effect becoming visible in around 2 weeks.
There is no downtime with Botox®, although patients may be advised to stop taking medications such as aspirin prior to the appointment to minimise chances of bruising.
The best time to consider having Botox® is when you begin to notice that your dynamic lines (these are the wrinkles that only appear through expression) appear regardless of expression and form even when static. This usually happens in your mid 30’s, however it differs from person to person dependant on genetic and lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, stress, cigarette smoking and other environmental factors. Botox® works best at this stage, rather than with deeply etched lines, which are more difficult to smooth the appearance of later on.
The longer you wait, the more invasive the treatments for wrinkles become – for example dermal fillers are used when Botox® will not suffice. Botox® can be used prophylactically to prevent the appearance of wrinkles becoming etched into the skin ESP if there is a clear genetic predisposition already noted .
Areas that Botox® can treat include:
Frown lines – forehead and area between the brows
Crow’s feet – around eyes
Bunny lines – on the bridge of the nose
Necklines – horizontal ‘necklace lines’ and vertical ‘platysmal bands’ (Nefertiti Neck Lift)
Marionette lines
Medical conditions – such as migraines, excessive sweating and facial flushing
Botox® can stop migraines before they even start, with treatments recommended every twelve weeks for maximum effect. This works by blocking the release of the neurotransmitters that are associated with causing pain, meaning that you no longer have to experience the severe pain of a migraine.
Botox® can help with excessive sweating by blocking the signals that the body sends to stimulate sweat glands. It is injected into the skin, and the effects last for 3-6 months.
Botox® can treat blushing of the face, neck and chest by blocking the signals between nerve cells that reach the skin and blood vessels. For those who suffer from anxiety and are embarrassed by their blushing, Botox® can bring back confidence and significantly improve quality of life by removing this worry altogether.
Some people are self conscious about the amount of teeth and gum that is revealed when they smile. Botox® can be used to minimise this by relaxing the muscle above the upper lip, restricting it from lifting as high.
Botox® can treat horizontal ‘necklace lines’ and vertical ‘platysmal bands’ in the neck with a treatment known as the Nefertiti Neck Lift, restoring a tighter and youthful appearance of the skin on the neck.
