What is Botox®?

Botox® is a brand of the protein Botulinum Toxin Type A (BoNT/A). The modern version of this powerful substance has been utilised in medicine since the 1970s, when Alan B. Scott and Edward J. Schantz pioneered its application for correcting strabismus. Since then, it has been administered through injection to treat migraines, blepharospasm, ankle spasticity, bruxism, and bladder issues. During its use for blepharospasm and strabismus in 1989, the discovery of its effectiveness for reducing dynamic lines and wrinkles was made; however, it wasn’t until 2002 that it received approval for cosmetic use from the FDA (specifically for frown lines and eyebrows), and in 2013 it was approved for use around the eyes (crow’s feet).

How does Botox® for anti-wrinkle treatments work?

Botox® is highly effective at reducing wrinkles due to its mechanism of action. Depending on the chosen indication, it can be precisely injected into targeted facial muscles at carefully selected depths. Botox® blocks nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting. The muscles temporarily relax, smoothing wrinkles such as forehead lines, glabellar lines, and crow’s feet. When used early and consistently, starting around age 25, Botox® can help prevent the formation of new wrinkles by keeping the muscles constantly relaxed. However, you can still make expressions and maintain a natural appearance if a highly experienced medical professional carries out your injections. 

Am I suitable for Botox® anti-wrinkle injections?

Botox® is a prescription medication; therefore, before receiving treatment, you must consult a qualified healthcare professional, such as a doctor or prescribing nurse, to confirm there are no contraindications that could prevent or restrict the treatment. While Botox® injections for anti-wrinkle treatments are not available on the NHS, Botox® can be prescribed by a GP for other conditions, including bruxism, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), teeth grinding, and migraines.
