We are asked regularly for further information on the treatments that we offer.  Only today an enquiry came in via social media for information on Botulinum Toxin Injections.  They had already asked a couple of other providers for this information but only received the price information.

As one of the leading Aesthetic Doctors in Cumbria, Dr. Rippon and the staff of Rippon Medical Services Ltd understand that our patients take centre stage in the fundamental growth and success of our practice. It would seem that lots of nail bars and corner spa's are offering wrinkle reduction injections, we'd like to share why Rippon Medical Services Advanced Aesthetics can offer so much more. 

The day of your appointment we provide a full medical aesthetic consultation and skin evaluation to our patients. This is so we can discuss the patient's goals and ideas and gain a perfect understanding of what is desired as well as what is possible because we aim to achieve only the most natural results. 

Our patients are seen and treated by only Dr. Rippon who is an associate of the British College of Aesthetic Doctors. A senior G.P with specialised minor surgery skills, and Advanced Aesthetic Doctor. Dr. Rippon would be present first hand through the entire process of your treatment including any follow up care if necessary. 

In addition to the standard horizontal and frown lines treated by Botulium Toxin, Dr. Rippon also specialises in treating:

• Lip Lines (Smokers Lines) 

  Hyperhidrosis (Under Arm Sweating)

• Wrinkles on the bridge of the nose (Bunny lines)

 • Crease under the nose, giving a slight nose tip lift 

• Gummy smile 

• Chin wrinkles (Orange Peel Effect) 

• Fine lines and wrinkles under and around the eyes 

• Brow Lift 

• Softening look of jaw line 

• Neck Bands (Platysmal Bands) 

Botulium Toxin injections (For Frown lines and crow's feet)

Lines and wrinkles are caused by contractions of the delicate underlying facial muscles every time you smile, laugh or frown. The more emotion you show, the deeper these wrinkles and lines are likely to be. While you may have earned every one of your worry lines, you don't have to show them anymore. 

Now, thanks to FDA approved wrinkle reduction injections (Botulinum Toxin) these lines can be softened. The procedure known as cosmetic denervation utilises Botulinum Toxin to improve the appearance of worry lines, frown lines, laugh lines, crow's feet and other dynamic wrinkles.

How does Botulinum Toxin Work? 

Botulinum Toxin blocks from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles that are related to expression lines. Botulinum relaxes the muscles so they do not contract. After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing normal facial expression to be unaffected.

Are Botulinum treatments safe? 

Botulinum Toxin have been used safely and effectively for over ten years to treat many ophthalmological and neurological disorders. Each year, thousands of patients receive Botulinum Toxin treatments for a variety of conditions and is quickly becoming a popular treatment for reversing the visible signs of ageing. 

What is the treatment like? 

Botulinum Toxin is a simple and safe procedure. Utilising a tiny micro needle, a very small amount of is Botulinum Toxin, is injected very precisely, into several locations on the face. Because the needle is so fine and only a small amount of liquid is utilised, the pain associated with the injections is minimal. Most patients compare the sensation to a bug bite. No addition of anaesthetic is required and you can resume normal activities immediately. You can even drive yourself home or back to the office. Some patients experience a slight, temporary bruising at the injection site. This can be covered with makeup. 

Are there any side effects? 

Temporary bruising is the most common side effect. In some cases, the toxin can migrate and cause the temporary weakness of nearby muscles. In rare cases, there can be drooping of an eyelid or asymmetry of facial expression. The risk of any side effect depends on the muscles injected. Dr Rippon will discuss this with you in length before your treatment. Because the effects of Botulinum Toxin are completely reversible, any side effects are temporary, lasting only a few weeks.

What results can I expect? 

If dynamic wrinkles make you look older than you are, cosmetic denervation can smooth these out and give you a more youthful and pleasant appearance, However, this procedure cannot improve wrinkles due to ageing and sun-damaged skin alone they are unrelated to facial muscle contractions. Botulinum Toxin injections will not improve sagging skin or replace the need for a facelift or brow lift.

What are the limitations of Botulinum Toxin injections? 

Unfortunately; Botulinum Toxin injections are a temporary solution for the treatment of wrinkles. The effects of the injections last for up to 4 months. You will need to have injections about two to three times per year should you wish to reduce the wrinkles over the year. 

Clinical studies indicate the duration of treatment benefits is increased over time, such that you should require fewer injections as time goes by. Also, the duration of effect varies from patient to patient and may be less effective for those patients greater than 65 years of age. After that, the muscle action returns. When frown lines reappear, a repeat treatment is necessary to regain the results. * Results vary from patient to patient.
