Treatments for Lines and Wrinkles

Botulinum toxin A is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles to reduce movement, typically lasting 3-4 months, though results may vary. Beyond wrinkle reduction, it can also be used to treat excessive sweating, which can impact confidence and self-esteem, or to slim the jawline by relaxing an enlarged masseter muscle caused by teeth grinding.

As a neuromodulator, botulinum toxin A blocks specific nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions. This softens dynamic wrinkles that appear with facial expressions, while static lines at rest may improve over time with regular treatments. Effects generally begin within 3-5 days post-treatment.

Standard treatments target three key areas: forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Advanced applications include treating bunny lines, downturned smile, chin dimpling, gummy smile, lip flip, eyebrow lift, ‘Nefertiti’ neck lift, and excessive sweating in the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet, as well as jaw slimming.

Anti-wrinkle and lines consultation appointments are available in Crawley Down for patients from Crawley, Copthorne, Horley, Lingfield and nearby West Sussex areas. Dora will assess facial movement, suitability, medical history and treatment goals before recommending an appropriate plan.

This treatment may be relevant for ageing concerns, upper-face lines, jawline-related concerns or excessive sweating, depending on consultation findings.

After treatment, you will be given clear aftercare guidance. It is common for results to develop gradually rather than immediately, and outcomes vary between patients. Dora will review suitability, medical history and your facial movement before treatment so the plan remains safe, natural-looking and appropriate.
