Botox treatments are medically proven to temporarily smooth lines and wrinkles. Experienced, qualified and knowledgeable injectors mean natural-looking results. Yes, Botox® means injections, but our techniques mean you hardly feel it.
Many facial wrinkles occur when we use our muscles to form facial expressions. When we are young our skin springs back to its initial position after facial expression. As we get older wrinkles develop with movement and eventually become permanent. Natural ageing, exposure to the harsh New Zealand sun, smoking and stress all contribute to the creation of wrinkles and folds. Botox treatments come here to the rescue.
