Botox® is Allergan’s trademark for Botulinum, though most people call it Botox like they call a vacuum cleaner a Hoover! Botox is recognised by NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) for Migraines but many people will know it better for its other uses:-
- Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis) – Too much sweating from the armpits can be acutely embarrassing and the treatment will last 4-6 months or more
- Jawline Reduction – We can reduce square jaws to a more subtle shape by reducing the jawline muscle mass, and in some people there is also a smoothing of the shape of the bone. The effects can be amazing.
- Removing Lines & Wrinkles – The muscle relaxing effect of Botox is particularly effective for around the eyes and forehead, as well as the frown lines between the eyebrows
