Forehead Lines
Forehead lines develop from repeated movement of the frontalis muscle. Treatment can help soften horizontal lines across the forehead while maintaining natural expression and brow position.
Treatment areas
Where we treat
Frown Lines / Glabella
The glabella is the area between the eyebrows. Treatment here can help soften frown lines, reduce a tired or angry appearance and create a more relaxed look.
Crow's Feet
The fine lines that appear around the outer corners of the eyes when smiling or squinting. Treatment can soften these lines while preserving a natural smile.
Fox Eye / Brow Lift Botox
Carefully placed botulinum toxin around the outer brow and eye area subtly lifts the tail of the brow, creating a more lifted, refreshed eye shape. The aim is always subtle — Botox cannot replicate the results of a surgical brow lift or thread lift, and the degree of lift depends on your individual anatomy, brow position, eyelid heaviness, muscle strength and skin quality.
Masseter Botox
Used for both medical and aesthetic reasons. Medically, it may help reduce overactivity of the masseter muscles in patients who clench or grind, or experience symptoms related to jaw tension or TMJ dysfunction. Aesthetically, it can help slim the lower face and create a softer, more tapered jawline — most effective where facial width is caused by overactive or enlarged masseter muscles rather than bone structure or fat.
Nefertiti Neck Lift
Treats selected muscles around the lower face, jawline and neck to improve jawline definition and reduce downward pull. Suitable for patients with early softening of the jawline or neck bands, depending on anatomy and skin quality.
Neck Bands / Platysmal Bands
Softens prominent vertical neck bands caused by overactivity of the platysma muscle, helping create a smoother neck appearance in suitable patients.
Nasal Flare Botox
Targets the muscles that widen the nostrils when smiling, laughing or breathing deeply — reducing excessive nasal flaring in suitable patients.
Lip Flip
Small doses of botulinum toxin around the upper lip relax the muscle that pulls the lip inward, helping the upper lip appear subtly fuller when smiling without adding volume. Different from lip filler and does not change the structure of the lip.
Gummy Smile
Targets the muscles that lift the upper lip. In suitable patients, it can reduce excessive gum show when smiling and create a more balanced smile.
Trapezius Botox
Targets overactivity or bulk in the trapezius muscles — used aesthetically to create a longer, softer neck and shoulder profile, and in selected cases where muscle tension contributes to discomfort.
Hyperhidrosis / Excessive Sweating
Reduces excessive underarm sweating by temporarily blocking the signals that stimulate sweat glands. Hyperhidrosis treatment is offered at the Manchester clinic only, in line with CQC compliance.
The appointment
What to expect
The treatment
Your appointment begins with a consultation to assess your concerns, medical history, facial anatomy, muscle movement and suitability. If appropriate to proceed, small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected into carefully selected points using a fine needle. The treatment is usually quick and involves minimal downtime.
Treatment time
Most anti-wrinkle treatments take approximately 15 minutes. Larger or more advanced areas — masseter, trapezius, neck bands or hyperhidrosis — may take slightly longer.
When results appear
Results usually begin within a few days, with full results typically seen around 10–14 days after treatment. In areas such as masseter or trapezius, the result is usually visible after around 4 weeks. The final result should not be judged immediately after the appointment.
How long it lasts
Results usually last around 3–4 months, although this varies with treatment area, dose, muscle strength, metabolism, lifestyle and individual response. Masseter and hyperhidrosis treatments may last longer in some patients.
Possible risks
Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness at injection sites, headache, temporary tightness or heaviness, asymmetry, uneven smile, brow heaviness, eyelid or brow droop, dry or watering eyes, temporary weakness of nearby muscles, difficulty chewing following masseter treatment, smile changes following lower face or masseter treatment, temporary swallowing difficulty (particularly with neck treatment), neck weakness (particularly with trapezius or neck treatments), rare allergic reaction and rare spread of toxin effect.
Suitability for all treatments is discussed during consultation. Treatment is only offered where it is clinically appropriate and safe to proceed.
