When it comes to fighting fine lines and wrinkles or lessening an overactive facial muscle
is the name you’ve probably heard many times. And for good reason—it’s one of the most popular, effective, and minimally invasive aesthetic treatments available.
If you’re looking to soften existing wrinkles or prevent them from forming, it offers a subtle and natural solution that can make you look as confident as you feel, as well as being used for a whole host of corrective issues.
Let’s explore what Botulinum Toxin is, how it works, and why it remains a go-to treatment for Aliens!
-
Toxin is a purified protein derived from botulinum toxin, and when used in tiny, controlled amounts, it temporarily relaxes specific muscles that cause wrinkles.
This allows the overlying skin to smooth out, creating a refreshed and youthful appearance.
It’s FDA and CE approved, safe when administered by a qualified professional, and trusted by millions worldwide for decades.
Commonly treated areas include the forehead, crow’s feet, and frown lines, but it can also be used for other aesthetic and therapeutic purposes making it Aliens number 1 treatment.
You will be required to fill out a full medical consultation form which you will then discuss with one of our in house prescribers before your appointment.

1. Smooths Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Toxin targets dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions, such as frowning, smiling, or squinting.
By relaxing these muscles, it smooths the skin and prevents deeper lines from forming.
2. Prevents Wrinkle Formation
Starting in your 20s or early 30s can act as a preventative measure. By reducing repetitive muscle movement, you can delay the onset of fine lines and wrinkles before they become etched into your skin.
3. Customisable Results
Some of us LOVE a frozen shiny forehead and others prefer natural movement leaving people perplexed as to whether you’ve even had anything done.
When performed by an experienced provider, toxin can maintain your natural expressions while softening wrinkles or you can chose to be frozen in time!
4. Quick and Convenient
This treatment is often referred to as a “lunchtime procedure” because it’s so fast and easy. The treatment typically takes 10–15 minutes, and there’s no downtime, so you can get back to your day immediately.
5. Boosts Confidence
There’s something empowering about feeling good in your own skin. Toxin can help you look as flawless and youthful as you feel, giving you an extra dose of confidence in your daily life.

Toxin is incredibly versatile and works for a variety of ages and concerns:
• In Your 20s–30s: Use preventatively to stop fine lines from forming or for corrective actions such as Gummy Smile
• In Your 40s and Beyond: Reduce the appearance of existing wrinkles and restore a smoother, more youthful look.
Toxin isn’t just for aesthetic purposes either—it’s also used to treat conditions like excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), migraines, and jaw clenching (bruxism) making it one of our safest treatments with the most research behind it!

• Forehead Lines: Smooth horizontal lines across your forehead caused by raising your eyebrows.
• Frown Lines : Soften the vertical lines between your brows that appear when you frown.
• Crow’s Feet: Minimise the fine lines that fan out from the corners of your eyes when you smile.
• Bunny Lines: Reduce the small creases that appear on the sides of your nose when you scrunch it.
• TMJ/Grinding: Relax the masseter muscles, reduce signs of stress within the area and possibly slim the face.
• Neck Bands: Diminish the appearance of vertical lines on the neck and allow the jawline to be more contoured(Nefertiti lift)
• Lip Flip: Relax the top lip to ‘flip’ it upwards showing more pink lip tissue and give the appearance of more height.
• Gummy Smile: Relax the muscle responsible for elevating the top lip, therefore less gum shows upon smiling.
• Mentalis: Minimise the appearance of ‘pebbling’ on the chin.
• DAO: Depressor Anguli Oris is responsible for pulling the corners of the mouth down, relaxing this will allow the corners of the mouth to be lifted.

1. Consultation:
Your provider will discuss your goals, assess your facial anatomy, and recommend the best treatment plan tailored to your needs, we have in-house prescribers so your consent forms will arrive 48 hours prior which are then reviewed ahead of time and your prescription can be processed.
2. The Procedure:
Using a fine needle, B’tox is injected into specific muscles. The process is quick and relatively painless—most patients describe it as a small scratch.
3. Post-Treatment:
There’s no real downtime with B’tox, but you may notice slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, which resolves quickly. It’s best to avoid strenuous exercise, lying down, or rubbing the area for the first few hours after treatment.
4. Results:
B’tox takes about 3–7 days to start working, with full results visible in 14 days. Your skin will appear smoother and more refreshed, but you’ll still look like yourself. Results typically last 3–4 months, depending on your metabolism and the treated area.
