Understanding Botulinum Toxin: The Key to a Youthful Appearance

Botulinum toxin, commonly referred to by one of its brand names, Botox®, is a highly refined protein used in aesthetic medicine to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, offering a fresher, more youthful complexion.

This treatment works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for the formation of wrinkles, particularly effective in the upper facial areas. Botulinum toxin is the cornerstone of our London practice for addressing aesthetic concerns such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines, ensuring a naturally vibrant and rejuvenated appearance. In London, Dr Thomas uses Botox alongside other brands in our clinic, such as Azzalure and Bocouture.

At our aesthetic clinic near Harley Street, London, Dr Owen Thomas specialises in enhancing facial aesthetics including with reducing lines and wrinkles.

Indications for Botulinum Toxin Use in the Upper Face

At Infinity Aesthetics, we harness the age-defying effects of botulinum toxin to target signs of ageing in the upper face, where muscle activity significantly contributes to the appearance of wrinkles. The primary indications for using botulinum toxin in this area include:

Forehead Lines: The horizontal lines that appear across the forehead from raising the eyebrows.
Frown Lines: The deep grooves between the brows that develop from frowning or concentrating.
Crow’s Feet: The fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes that become more pronounced with laughing or squinting.
Dr Owen Thomas expertly tailors each botulinum toxin treatment in London to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals, enhancing your natural beauty while maintaining the full range of facial expressions.
