Botox Injections
Botox injection treatments are available at Defy Time in Swansea and at Bristol, where Dr Alan Wyn Jones holds regular clinics. Our prices start from as little as £200 a treatment.
Botulinum Toxins, such as Botox, Vistabel and Dysport, work by relaxing muscles. It is usually used to treat lines of the forehead, brow and around the eyes. It can also be used to soften lines on the upper lip, stop the sides of the mouth from drooping, stop too much of the gums showing while smiling, and can even be used to turn up the tip of the nose.
The process involves a number of tiny injections, with the smallest needles available and almost never need any analgesia. However some topical analgesia is available if requested.
A Botox treatment takes 10-15 minutes, and its full effects develop slowly over the next 7 days. The first course of treatment usually lasts 3-4 months, with this increasing to 4-5 months with regular use. At Defy Time we use the Botulinum Toxin preparation that in our experience gives a softer, more natural look, while also lasting the longest.
Botox is a very safe treatment, with the vast majority of problems relating to over treatment. With this in mind, we are always very cautious at the patient's first treatment, and always arrange a follow-up appointment 2 weeks later to see whether the result has been satisfactory. If more Botox treatment is required at this visit there is no added cost for the patient.
