Thanks to its versatility, Botox® is well known for treating a vast selection of ageing concerns. At Ellece we use this non-surgical anti-ageing treatment for the following conditions:

When Botox® is injected into the muscle, it works to temporarily weaken it so that it can no longer cause the skin to crease or fold. When the muscles are hindered from working, the skin is able to relax.

Botox® usually lasts for around 3-4 months, and after this time the muscles will begin gaining strength and the skin will start to crease once more.

As we age, so does our skin. Each passing year means skin cells function less effectively than before, and internal and external factors cause our skin to wrinkle, crease and lose density and volume. This ageing process occurs in all three layers of our skin.

After Botox® injections, roughly ten per cent of people have reported a headache within 24 hours. It is unclear whether these headaches are caused by the Botox® itself. However, they don’t usually last long and most fade within 48 hours.

After a Botox® treatment, it’s important that you leave your face alone. Because the skin has been pierced, there is always a possibility of inflammation. With that in mind, we advise not to wear cosmetics – ideally for a good few hours after the treatment. This is to ensure the skin has time to heal properly.
