Small injections of multiple units each are placed at prescribed locations just under the skin over the forehead, sides of the head, and back of the head and neck.

Sara is very knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease. I am delighted with the treatment I received (BBL/silk clear) to clear my rosacea. Communication was always clear and I love the results. Looking forward to my next visit :-)

I suffer with rosacea which has gotten progressively worse in my 30s. I also did not like all the pigmentation on my face from years of sun damage. I got BBL laser done with Sarah as this was highly recommended for pigmentation and redness. I couldn't recommend Sarah enough, she was so friendly, knowledgeable and informative and great at keeping me calm during the treatment. I had some redness directly after the treatment which subsided within a couple hours and my skin has not looked better in months. Can't wait for the final result. If you have been considering BBL do not hesitate and book it, you wont regret it. Many thanks to Sarah, looking forward to my next visit.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


Can cosmetic Anti-Wrinkle Injections help migraines?

It is thought that Anti-Wrinkle Injections may inhibit the release of peripheral nociceptive neurotransmitters, which may then have a knock-on effect on the central pain processing systems that generate migraine headaches.

In other words, the injections help by blocking the sensory nerves in the head. (Anti-Wrinkle Injections has been shown to reduce pain in cervical dystonia, neuropathic pain, lower back pain, spasticity, myofascial pain, and bladder pain.)

When used to treat migraines, the headaches should lessen in frequency and severity over one to two weeks, with the effect lasting up to 4 months. The success rate can be as high as 65% in certain populations, and can be repeated every three to four months.

Is it safe to use Botulinium Toxin for migraines?

Botulinium Toxin was licensed specifically for the treatment of chronic migraine in July 2010 by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Clinical trials leading to the approval of OnaAnti-Wrinkle Injections A were called PHASE III Research Evaluating Migraine Prophylaxis Therapy (PREEMPT) protocol. This is a slightly different approach to treatment than for cosmetic reasons.

With this protocol, developed and tested extensively, small injections of multiple units each are placed at prescribed locations just under the skin over the forehead, sides of the head, and back of the head and neck.
