Botox ®

The MHRA granted a license for cosmetic use of Botox ® in February 2006. Botox ® has now been rebranded as Vistabel ®

Some people find that there is nothing funny about laughter lines around the eyes. Others may find that when they concentrate closely on something they develop frown lines that make them appear to be cross or unhappy. Also, though you may have earned every one of your worry lines, you might not want the world to see them.

If any or all of the above are true for you than Vistabel ® injections may be the answer you are looking for. Vistabel ® injections address dynamic wrinkles caused by emotion. These wrinkles are caused by contraction of the delicate facial muscles every time you laugh, smile, frown or concentrate.

Vistabel ® blocks impulses from the tiny facial muscles so that they do not contract. The untreated muscles contract in the usual fashion thus allowing normal facial expression.

 

 

 

 

The treated areas remain smooth and unwrinkled. This is called cosmetic denervation and it is a new use for an approved drug that has been safely utilised for eleven years to treat many neurological and opthalmological disorders.

Vistabel ® is quickly becoming a very popular, safe treatment for reversing the visible signs of emotional ageing.

A very fine needle is inserted precisely though several layers of the face and a small amount of diluted Vistabel ® is injected. Local anaesthetic cream may be applied to the areas prior to treatment and the procedure is relatively painless.

Side Effects

Side Effects are very rare: though bruising is the most common. There are others but all possibilities will be explained to you in detail before any treatment takes place.

Vistabel ® treatments are safe, effective and very quick. The results are not immediately visible but will become apparent within 3-10 days.

Cosmetic denervation using Vistabel ® can visibly soften and smooth out dynamic wrinkles and give one a youthful, stress free appearance. Some people benefit from a Vistabel ® / filler mix either for one area of the face or a few areas. Others may require either Vistabel or filler and it is the priority of your very experienced practitioner to ensure that you are advised correctly.
