ANTI WRINKLE INJECTIONS

Performed by professionals to provide a natural, youthful facial appearance

CROWS FEET BOTOX

Crows feet, those pesky little wrinkles that form around the outer corners of the eyes, are a common concern for many people as they age.

The use of Botox is particularly effective to reduce and eliminate crows feet, even those which have formed deep lines around the outer part of your eyes, above your cheeks. It is is the preferred choice over dermal fillers for this particular treatment. Botox relaxes the muscles around the eyes thereby preventing the muscles from forming a furrow, rather than tying to fill in the furrows which will cause an unnatural bulging of that area of your face.

The actual Botox procedure is relatively quick and straightforward. We use a fine needle to inject small amounts of the Botox into specific muscles around the eyes. Most people experience minimal discomfort during the injections, but a numbing cream can be applied if needed. The entire procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes. It takes a few days to start seeing the effects, and the full results will be visible within one to two weeks. The outcome typically lasts for three to four months, after which you may need a follow-up treatment to maintain the results.

BOTOX FOREHEAD

By improving the smoothness of your forehead you will exude a youthful appearance that will soften the overall aesthetics of your face. Following Botox forehead treatment you will begin to notice an improvement in a couple of days with more dramatic results after about 7-10 days as the forehead muscles fully relax with results lasting around 3-4 months. Botox again is the preferred method for removing the furrows which can form on your forehead with age, for exactly the same reason it is used to reduce crows feet.

BOTOX FACE INJECTIONS

Other targeted use of Botox in the face are can help provide great results targeting specific beauty issues. One of which is to lessen a gummy smile. As described this is when some displays a large amount of their gum line when the smile, which people can become self conscious about and results in less smiling, which isn't a pleasant choice. Often the cause of a gummy smile is a hyperactive muscle in the upper lip lifting it much higher than usual. With a little Botox treatment administered near to the nose and mouth fold this muscle is relaxed and is blocked from receiving the same level of signals it used to receive, to contract and lift the lip.

Excessive wrinkling around the nose often also associated with smiling is the formation of bunny lines. These are the wrinkles formed around both sides of the nose, when this is more than average it will be due to an overactive nasalis muscle working on the same principles as describe for the gummy smile - therefore a similar process is adopted to deal with bunny lines, where small amounts of Botox are injected into the glabellar muscle.

Marionette lines and Nasolabial folds are another two areas around the mouth which can be prone to large wrinkles and these too can be corrected by injecting the right amount of Botox in the right areas to relax the overactive muscles causing an exaggerated line to form. The same is also true of the creation of frown lines which are also dealt with on the same principles.

At Cleage Clinic we are also administers of Micro Botox treatments which involves the use of very small amounts of Botox to tighten pores, which would otherwise deposit excessive amounts of oil to the skin resulting in a greasy complexion.

Another area Botox can be injected is into the shoulder area, specifically the trapezius muscle. There are two main uses of Botox in Trapezius: To help with pain or to provide shoulder slimming.

Neck and shoulder pain can be debilitating, affecting our daily activities and overall quality of life. Whether it's due to poor posture, muscle tension, or other underlying issues, finding relief can sometimes feel like a never-ending battle. However, there is a potential solution that many people may not be aware of: Trapezius Botox.

The trapezius muscle, named after its trapezoid shape, is one of the major muscles in the neck and upper back region. It plays a crucial role in the movement and stability of the neck and shoulders. When this muscle becomes excessively tense or overworked, it can lead to discomfort, stiffness, and pain.

Even though Botox is mostly associated with reducing the appearance of wrinkles, it has also shown promising results in relieving muscle spasms and tension. Trapezius Botox for pain involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into specific points along the trapezius muscle, targeting the areas of tension and reducing muscle activity.

Prior to any course of treatment Cleage Clinic will assess your specific condition, evaluate your medical history, and determine whether Trapezius Botox to alleviate pain is suitable for you.

If it is, the actual procedure involves a series of injections administered directly into the trapezius muscle. The number and placement of injections will vary depending on your unique needs. The procedure itself is relatively quick, with minimal discomfort. The effects of Trapezius Botox can usually be felt within a few days to a week after the treatment. The muscle tension gradually decreases, leading to reduced pain and improved mobility. The results typically last for three to six months, after which further treatment may be necessary.

Trapezius Botox should be seen as part of a comprehensive approach to managing neck and shoulder pain. It is often accompanied by other therapeutic interventions, such as physical therapy, stretching exercises, and proper ergonomics, to address the underlying causes of muscle tension. While Trapezius Botox can provide significant relief for many individuals, it is not suitable for everyone. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with certain neuromuscular disorders, or those with allergies to botulinum toxin should avoid this treatment.

TRAP BOTOX

Trap Botox as it is often referred to an help provide a more defined shoulder by reducing the size of the trapezius muscle. This shoulder slimming Botox can improve the appearance of your backline and neck as well as your shoulders, so has become very popular to coincide with off the shoulder dresses which allow the wearer to show off their neck an shoulders.

In today's society, where physical appearance is highly valued, many individuals are constantly seeking ways to enhance their looks. One area of concern for some people is the shape and size of their shoulders. While broad, muscular shoulders are often associated with strength and athleticism, some individuals prefer a slimmer and more feminine appearance. This is where Trapezius Botox comes into play.

Trap is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that aims to reduce the size and bulk of the trapezius muscle, which is located at the top of the shoulders and extends down the upper back. By injecting Botox into this muscle, its functionality is temporarily weakened, resulting in a slimmer and more streamlined appearance. Due to the effect of how Trapezius Botox injections work they should only really be carried out by experienced aesthetics practitioners such those at Cleage Clinic.

Following treatment you will have a smooth and defined neck and shoulder line which you will definitely want to show off.

BOTOX FOR GUMMY SMILE

A gummy smile can be a source of self-consciousness for many individuals. Luckily, there is a solution: a gummy smile Botox procedure. This non-surgical treatment can help reduce the visibility of the gums when smiling, resulting in a more confident and aesthetically pleasing smile.

A gummy smile is characterised by excessive gum exposure when a person smiles. While it is a natural variation in smile aesthetics, some individuals may feel that it affects their overall appearance and confidence. The gummy smile Botox procedure is designed to address this concern without the need for invasive surgery.

During the procedure, a small amount of Botox is injected into specific muscles in the upper lip region. This temporarily relaxes the targeted muscles, resulting in a reduction of their movement. By doing so, the upper lip is prevented from retracting too far, thus reducing the amount of gum exposure when smiling.

One of the key benefits of the gummy smile Botox procedure is its non-invasiveness. Unlike surgical alternatives, such as crown lengthening or jaw surgery, Botox injections are relatively quick, painless, and require no downtime.

Another advantage of the gummy smile Botox procedure is its temporary nature. The effects of Botox injections typically last for around three to four months, after which the muscles gradually regain their function. This temporary nature allows you to assess how satisfied with the results and decide what level to continue at with future treatments.

A gummy smile Botox procedure offers natural-looking results. When performed by our experienced practitioner at Cleage Clinic, Botox injections can achieve a balanced and subtle reduction in gum exposure. This ensures that the smile appears natural and not overly manipulated.

In addition to the aesthetic benefits, the gummy smile Botox procedure can also have functional advantages. Some individuals with excessive gum exposure may find that it causes oral health issues, such as difficulty in maintaining good oral hygiene or increased risk of gum disease. By reducing the amount of gum exposure, Botox injections can help improve oral health and make dental care more manageable.

It is important to note that the gummy smile Botox procedure is not suitable for everyone which is why we advice a consultation with our clinician to determine your suitability for the treatment. We will assess factors such as the cause of the gummy smile, the amount of gum exposure, and your overall current oral health.

BOTOX FOR MIGRAINES

Migraines can be debilitating, affecting millions of people worldwide. The excruciating pain, accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea and sensitivity to light and sound, can greatly impact one's quality of life. While various medications and lifestyle changes are commonly recommended for managing migraines, an alternative treatment option gaining popularity is Botox.

Small amounts of Botox into specific areas of the head and neck, targeting the muscles identified to be causing the migraines. The Botox works by blocking the release of certain chemicals that transmit pain signals, ultimately reducing the frequency and severity of migraines. As a result you should see:

• A decrease in the frequency of migraines: One of the primary benefits of Botox for migraines is its ability to reduce the number of migraines experienced by an individual. According to clinical trials, patients who received Botox injections experienced, on average, a two to three-day reduction in the number of headache days per month compared to those who received a placebo.
• Reduced Severity of Migraines: In addition to decreasing the frequency of migraines, Botox has been shown to reduce the severity of headaches. This can lead to less intense pain and a quicker recovery period, allowing you to resume their daily activities more swiftly.
• Long-Lasting Effects: Unlike some medications that require daily intake or frequent dosage adjustments, Botox for migraines provides relief that lasts for several months. Typically, the effects of each treatment can last up to three months, but this can vary depending on the individual. Regular maintenance injections are required to sustain the benefits.
• Non-Systemic Treatment: Compared to oral medications, Botox acts locally, targeting specific muscles in the head and neck area. This localised treatment reduces the risk of systemic side effects that may be associated with oral medications, making it a potentially safer option for some individuals.
• Improved Quality of Life: Migraines can significantly impact an individual's overall well-being, limiting their ability to work, socialize, and enjoy daily activities. By reducing the frequency and severity of migraines, Botox can greatly improve an individual's quality of life, allowing them to regain control and engage in activities they may have previously avoided due to the fear of triggering a migraine.
