Botulinum Toxin A is a neurotoxic protein that temporarily paralyzes muscles. When injected in minuscule amounts, it can relax facial muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
The anti-wrinkle treatment peaks at 2 weeks, and then gradually wears off for the next 3-6 months.
At Transform Clinic, we offer Botox®, Xeomin® or Dysport® for Anti-wrinkle treatments – these are different brands of Botulinum Toxin A.
As "Botox" is actually a trademarked brand name, many practitioners refer to Botulinum Toxin A treatment as "anti-wrinkle" or "neurotoxin" or "botulinum", despite that it is often used to abbreviate Botulinum Toxin A.
Botulinum Toxin A is a prescription medicine and treatment is only carried out by our doctor or registered nurses.
