Anti-wrinkle treatment, frequently referred to after the product name Botox®, is one of our most popular medical cosmetic treatments at YourGP private health practice. It can be very effective at reducing fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment works by making muscles hibernate and relax, resulting in a natural and more youthful appearance.

As a medical practice we only use the highest quality branded BOTOX®, manufactured by Allergan and steer clear of products of lesser quality or that have been imported. You can also be assured that as a tightly regulated medical practice and as you are dealing with medical professionals, you are getting the best of care.

Prior to any treatment you will be invited to a complimentary consultation with a practitioner to ensure anti-wrinkle injections are an appropriate treatment for you and the look you want to achieve. We will discuss your options and answer any questions. The treatment is then administered as a series of injections with a very fine needle.  It takes about 5-10 minutes to do the treatment at each site.  The whole appointment will last approximately half an hour.

Effects last for three to six months depending on the depth of facial contours and whether clients have previously had the treatment.
