Botulinum toxin is a naturally occurring protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. There are currently two different types of botulinum toxin commercially available in the United Kingdom: Type A toxin: Botox (Vistabel), Dysport (Azzalure) and Xeomin (Bocouture) and Type B toxin: Neurobloc.

Botulinum toxin can be used to treat all wrinkles which are the result of normal facial movement. When it is injected into a specific muscle in the face it blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscle. This means that the nerve ending cannot tell the muscle to move, hence there will be less wrinkling of the skin in the areas treated. The upper third of the face is where the best treatment results are obtained, commonly for the reduction in crow's feet around the eyes and wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyebrows. Depending on the area treated, dose used, and how you respond, repeat treatments will be required around every 3 - 6 months. Most clinics charge by area of the face treated: crow's feet, forehead lines, and glabellar lines, and may charge from £175 - £300 per treatment area. A discounted rate is often available for more than one area treated at the same time.

"Kin is great, she talks everything through & ensures she has understood what you're looking for. There's never any pressure to get more done & she ensures to work at your pace in trying new things to see the results as you go.

Also the most gentle botox I've ever had. I've had both botox (forehead & side of eyes) and lip filler done here over the last year or so."

"I’m so blown away with my Botox. I explained to Piroska how I’ve had many attempts & always had a floppy eye lid after the Botox had settled in, she listened & the results are incredible. I’m so happy, I looked younger and less tired, and she uses the purest Botox which works so you see the results super quick, so if you’re like me & inpatient this is such a bonus. Each patient is different our faces are different, this is where Piroska stands out, she’s studied the face & understands this. Thank you so much. I’ve also had the B12 jabs, so good, if you’re feeling fatigue & low iron, I felt so energised I highly recommend this too especially if you’re a sporty person."
