This is a new technique which involves placing multiple injections of botox horizontally along the lower jaw line and vertically down the side of the neck along the platysmal band muscles. The effect is to improve the definition of the jaw line, relax the jowls and provide an upward lifting effect in the neck and jaw area. Like the face, treatments last on average 3-4 months. It is important to note that this is not a replacement for surgery and definitely not a ‘‘face -lift in a bottle’’ however, it can achieve a 15% lift.

Botulinum toxin is licensed in the UK for treating localised hyperhidrosis of the armpits. You may be a candidate for this treatment if your sweating fails to improve with prescription antiperspirants. This treatment has shown to result in 82%- 87% reduction in sweating. Results start to be noticeable after 2-4 days and the full affect showing within 2 weeks. The dryness can last anywhere between 4 to 14 months.

Following the trend in facial cosmetic procedures, patients are now increasingly requesting hand rejuvenation treatments. Intrinsic ageing of the hands is characterised by loss of dermal elasticity and atrophy of the subcutaneous tissue. Thus, veins, tendons and bony structures become apparent.

Application of local aesthetic cream from 20-30 minutes prior treatment helps minimise any discomfort. Hand rejuvenation helps add volume and improve sagging of skin for a more youthful fresher appearance.  This treatment can generally last up to 12 months.
