Overview
Botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox) is a purified protein injected in tiny amounts to relax targeted muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions. When performed by a skilled practitioner, the result is a natural, refreshed appearance that maintains your facial expressions — not a “frozen” look.
Your practitioner: Treatments are carried out by Dr Katy Nassar, a specialist aesthetic practitioner with a Master’s degree in Skin Ageing and Aesthetic Medicine, ensuring subtle, natural-looking results tailored to your individual anatomy.

What Does the Treatment Involve?
