Men Can Also Benefit From Botox & Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We can't influence what effects the passage of time has on our skin, but we can try minimising its impact. Men today seem more aware of the cosmetic treatments available to them and have a more open attitude towards using them, to stay looking youthful. It isn't just women who want to look their best, these days men are also paying extra attention to their appearance. When it comes to getting older, we tend to think that men improve with age more than women, believing that men grow older in a more distinguished way.


Ageing happens to us all, but whatever age we are, it's never too early to start looking after our skin and maintaining our appearance. Lots of older, mature men look fantastic for their age, sometimes it happens naturally and sometimes it's because they've had a bit of help along the way. Anti-ageing treatments for men have become increasingly common place and the numbers of men having cosmetic treatments are on the rise.

Men have the same basic concerns about ageing as women. They want to soften the signs of ageing and look as good possible for their age and there are many subtle, undetectable treatments, such as botox, dermal fillers and microdermabrasion which can help.

Men seek anti-ageing treatments for certain things:
  • Lines and wrinkles - Botox can lessen and soften the wrinkles which are present even on the relaxed resting face. Frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal lines on the forehead and crows feet can all benefit from botox injections.
  • A tired appearance - It's annoying when we look overly tired despite getting adequate sleep. Eye bags, dark circles and hollows beneath the eyes (tear troughs) are particular concerns, which dermal fillers can rectify. Dermal fillers can also soften deep lines and furrows on the face and replace lost volume to gaunt cheeks.
  • Pigmentation - Age spots, mild scars, fine lines and sun damage are signs of ageing that can easily be treated with microdermabrasion, which can dramatically improve the skin's texture and tone.

The popularity for cosmetic procedures isn't just restricted to younger men; men of all ages seek cosmetic treatments to improve their looks, to slow down the signs of ageing and to give them healthy-looking skin. The number of men undergoing anti-ageing cosmetic treatments has dramatically risen in the last decade and some men now spend as much time caring for their appearance as women do.

Slow Down Facial Ageing With Botox Injections - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The signs of ageing can get you down, and seeing lines and wrinkles can knock your confidence and make you feel insecure when we start looking older. So if you're beginning to see an increase in wrinkles, or you're noticing fine lines on your face, or maybe you feel you just don't look as youthful and bright as you used to, then botox might be the answer to help reducing or eliminating those ageing wrinkles. 


Botox Treatment Before and After

Botox injections are one of the most popular anti-ageing treatments on the market, thanks to its safety and effectiveness. But we must always remember that despite Botox's popularity and its increasing use, the treatment is still a medical procedure, and only a fully trained and highly experienced cosmetic doctor or nurse practitioner should carry out this treatment.
Botox treatment can also be used for:
  • Over active frown
  • Crows feet, fine lines and wrinkles
  • Correcting lines from repeated facial expression and worry lines
  • An eye lift
  • Correcting uneven eyebrows
  • Tightening the jaw line
  • Correcting the downward corners at each side of the lips
  • Treating migraines
  • Treating hyperhidrosis (armpit sweating)
Always choose a highly trained cosmetic practitioner to inject your botox treatment, as they will have performed lots of botox treatments, have a large client base and will have lots of before and after photo's, and they will have reviews and recommendations of their work that you can look at.

At your consultation you will discuss what requirements you have, and what your expectations are. When botox is properly done, no-one will be able to tell that you've had any treatment, the injections will just leave your face looking relaxed and refreshed. By choosing the right cosmetic doctor to achieve your aim, your appearance will look much improved, but will still remain looking completely natural.

*  Always check that the practitioners qualifications are authentic
*  Don't book because of offers like two for the price of one, or introduce a friend and get a discount
*  Make sure you have treatment in a clinic which is clean
*  Be aware that the cheapest priced treatment won't always be the best
*  Look at their before and after photos to check what results they achieve
*  Check online to see reviews to get recommendations
*  Ask around for word of mouth reviews

Continuity is always a good idea, so for any treatment where you go back for top up's and more treatments, it's wise to use the same practitioner who knows what you want, what you are hoping to achieve and who knows your face.

Smooth Away Wrinkles with Botox - Nottingham, Derby,Mansfield & Chesterfield

Ageing affects every area of the body, but of all the changes that occur, the changes in the face are the most obvious. Wrinkles and fine lines are the most common signs of ageing which form through smiling, squinting, smoking, and any other repeated facial movement. Most of our wrinkles develop because of damage to the skin, with the most damage coming from excess exposure to sunlight.

It's never too late to slow down signs of ageing and even those who are already starting to show some early skin ageing can benefit from making some lifestyle changes.


The rate of facial ageing will increase:
  • When the skin becomes dehydrated it leaves the skin looking flat and dull, and the dryness will make the wrinkles show up more.
  • Lighter skin tones also more prone to sun damage making the daily application of sunscreen essential.
  • Repeated facial expressions like smiling, squinting and frowning often cause the first of your wrinkles to form.
  • Heredity plays a role in how we age. The timing at which we start to develop wrinkles is partly influenced through genetics.
  • Smoking can add fine lines and wrinkles to the mouth, causing lipstick to bleed its colour into the lip wrinkles. 
  • Sleeping on the same side every night, will repeatedly press and squash the face to the pillow.
Even if you have great genes and look younger than you are, there's no way to avoid the ageing changes in your facial appearance. The changes that appear on our face, are reflections our happiness and life challenges, and we can either learn to love these changes, or decide to do something about them.


Botox is a prescription medicine that's injected into the facial muscles to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows and crows feet at the sides of the eyes. As long as you're treated by a medical expert, trained in facial anatomy, you will look younger and refreshed and you won't lose the ability to express any emotions or expressions.

These days we are all familiar with botox treatment, used to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles on different areas on the face, depending on the way your muscles of facial expression work. Botox treatments can easily be combined with treatments such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion and dermal fillers, which can also help to prevent new wrinkles and lines from forming on the face.

There are some things we can't do anything about and there's others we can influence, but one thing that we can't change is the natural ageing process.

Get A Younger Smoother Face With Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

All of us want to look as young as we can for as long as we can, but unfortunately ageing is inevitable, so when signs of ageing like lines and wrinkles start to appear, then this is the time to start thinking of treatments to keep them at bay. Botox is a quick, pain-free treatment which will help give you a younger, smoother, line-free face.
The areas where the skin is constantly exposed to the elements, such as the face, neck, arms and hands are all more likely to become wrinkled. Most of our wrinkles are the result of ageing and each year thousands of people turn to botox, with treatment to the face; creases on the forehead, smile lines, crows feet and the deep furrows between the eyebrows being the most popular areas to have treated.
Botox brow lift
Botox is now one of the most common cosmetic treatments in the UK and a good practitioner will
customise the treatment specifically for each person's face to give it a soft natural look, because the results can look stunning, and yet remain subtle. Botox is a safe and effective way to reduce and smooth out wrinkles, worry lines across the forehead and the vertical lines between the eyebrows, and help to soften the look of these dynamic facial lines and wrinkles which appear over time, because of repeated smiling and frowning movements.
A fully trained cosmetic practitioner can perform careful, precise injections, which will give your face a fresh, healthy and subtle appearance and not a startled and expressionless look. Botox is injected using a disposable syringe which has a very fine needle, and tiny amounts are precisely injected into several specific areas on the face, which are chosen by carefully examining the movements of your facial muscles. The treatment is almost painless and doesn't need any pain relief.
Botox has many benefits:
  • Prevention of further wrinkles by relaxing the muscles
  • It's a non-invasive, quick treatment with minimal discomfort
A botox injection lessens the muscle activity which cause wrinkles to form on the face. It blocks the signals from the nerves to the muscles, relaxing and softening the muscles in the problem area. Gaining results from botox is a gradual process, taking around twenty-four hours to begin taking effect and up to two weeks for the full effect to show. The results can last from three to five months and we recommend repeat treatments three to four times a year.
At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we always attempt to keep the botox injection experience gentle and pain-free, putting you at ease and supporting you through the experience.

Rejuvenate Your Face with Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Whether it's checking that our make-up is still in place, looking for mascara smudges under the eyes, glancing at our teeth for lipstick marks or maybe to check if there's a pimple, it's said that women look at themselves in the mirror at least eight times a day, but really, the main reason we check out our reflection, is for a sense of reassurance.

The signs of facial ageing in women statistically begins to show by about the age of twenty five. The first signs of ageing are fine lines around the eyes and mouth, and the frown lines between the eyebrows are common too. There are times when our face seems to look older than our actual years; sometimes this is just bad luck with our genes, but smoking lines at the mouth or over exposure of the sun are things which give us more lines than the norm. Fortunately we can dramatically reduce or even remove these lines with some strategically placed botox injections.


Lines and wrinkles form because of the constant movement of muscles in actions such as; scowling, squinting and the raising of eyebrows. In time, these creases become permanent, because skin which is regularly being creased in the same place, doesn't get a chance to smooth out, and this is where botox treatment can help.

Although botox is a toxin, when it's used properly it isn't a high risk procedure at all, and has been safely used by medical and cosmetic practitioners for the last 30 years. Having botox injection treatment is fast becoming as common as getting your nails done, your roots touched up at the hairdressers and having your legs waxed. Just twenty minutes of your time having botox can give you a much fresher, smoother look, as it relaxes the facial muscles so that you can't frown, and softens any deeper lines that you might have.


The botox procedure takes about 20 minutes and needs no anaesthetic. Botox gets injected with a very fine needle into specific muscles and only causes minor discomfort. Botox usually takes effect within 5 to 14 days after the procedure, and the result is that we don't frown as much, or crinkle our eyes when we are smiling. Botox often lasts up to four months and you will find the lines and wrinkles looking less severe with time because the botox has taught the muscles to relax.

The Many Uses of Botox Injections - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield


Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure for both women and men to help ease and erase fine lines and wrinkles. It's a simple injectable treatment which will give you a smoother complexion without the need for invasive surgery. If you have lines around your mouth, neck, or on the forehead, then Botox can help.

Botox is one of the least invasive procedures available and when it's injected by skilled and experienced hands, they are safe, effective and cause minimal discomfort. The injections prevent the muscles from contracting, blocking impulses to selected nerves, making the wrinkles relax and soften.


Botox has many amazing benefits, including easing migraines, reducing sweating under the arms and of course erasing those troublesome wrinkles that can make you look prematurely old.

The many uses of Botox

* Anti-Ageing - Wanting to look younger and more youthful is the most popular reason we have Botox injections. It's one of the best non-surgical options for preventing wrinkles as it slows down ageing on the face and helps to tighten and lift the skin. Using Botox as a non-surgical face lift can take years off the face when it's used appropriately and this option is great for people who want just a slight lift and not the dramatic change of invasive surgery.


* Migraine Killer - Botox was licensed specifically for treating Chronic Migraine, which works due to it's nerve-blocking effects. It relaxes the muscles and blocks the sensory nerves that send pain messages to the brain, making them less sensitive to the onslaught of pain. Statistics say that over 6 million people in the UK  have migraine headaches, so for those with especially debilitating migraine attacks, this is great news.

* Muscle Spasms and Disorders - Botox is an ideal solution for muscle spasms, particularly in the face, neck and eyelids. When it's injected into the muscles it reduces the spasms by stopping the transmission between the muscle fibres and the nerve endings.

* Overactive Bladder - An overactive bladder occurs when the bladder contracts more often than necessary, even when the bladder isn't full. Symptoms may include a strong need to pass water along with leaking or wetting accidents, the urgent need to urinate immediately and a frequent need to urinate. Botox helps to paralyse the muscle around the bladder, which in turn prevents contractions from happening so the urgency to pass water is greatly reduced.

* Excess Sweating - Also known as Hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating can affect many parts of the body, but armpits, hands, feet and the groin are the most typical regions of excess perspiration, due to the higher concentration of sweat glands. Treatment works by effectively turning off the body's sweat glands by blocking the secretion of chemical transmitters that stimulates the sweat glands, which essentially paralyses them. Botox is injected into tissues of the problem area and this may give six to eight months relief from sweating.

Using Botox to treat these medical conditions are prescribed and performed by registered doctors, and for cosmetic treatments care should always be taken to choose an experienced trained specialist in cosmetic procedures. We administer Botox with fine needles which makes the procedure quite painless, and though there might be slight swelling and redness afterwards, this resolves quickly.

Lose Your Fine Lines & Wrinkles With Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It's said that women look at their face in the mirror at least eight times a day; to check their make-up is still in place, to see if there are any mascara smudges under the eyes, or lipstick on their teeth. They might want to check a pimple, but usually women check their reflection for a sense of reassurance.

Women usually begin to show signs of facial ageing around the age of twenty-five, and the first signs are fine lines around the eyes and around the mouth. The “number elevens” the two frown lines between the eyebrows are common too.


Botox is a licensed medicine and administering it is an art that needs a high level of ability, along with a talent for the craft. The risk of infection when botox is administered by an untrained person is higher than with a fully trained, experienced provider. When it's not injected properly, or isn't injected in the precise place, then things can quite easily go wrong.

An unskilled person injecting botox could end up paralysing the wrong muscles, you might be left with drooping eyelids and eyebrows, or in the worst case scenario you could even paralyse the muscles that move your eyeball, which could give you long-term problems with your eyesight. Don’t let price be your guide. If you find treatment that's being charged at much less than the standard fee, then it's likely that compromises have been made; either in the skill of the provider, quality of the product or the amount of it that's being used.


At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we specialise in giving a soft natural look to your face, tailoring each botox treatment specifically for you and your needs. The botox procedure takes about 20 minutes and doesn't need any anaesthetic. It's injected with a very fine needle into specific muscles with only minor discomfort. Botox usually takes effect within 3 to 7 days after the injection and usually lasts from three to four months. The lines and wrinkles may look less severe with time because botox helps the muscles to relax.

So put yourself in our hands and your watch crows feet disappear around the eyes, along with those irritating lines and wrinkles around your forehead. Call now for an appointment and find out what we can offer you, and say goodbye to wrinkles.

A Younger Face with Botox Injections - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It doesn't matter how vigilant we are; we look after our skin, eat healthily, avoid excess alcohol, we don't smoke and we keep our face out of the sun, but eventually we are all going to develop age-related facial lines and wrinkles. 

Botox is the world’s most popular anti-ageing treatment because of its effectiveness at reducing fine lines and wrinkles caused by muscle contractions. Good candidates for this treatment are those who are in good physical health and want to improve their facial appearance.

How botox can help;
  • Frown lines on the forehead and crow’s feet around the eyes will lessen, or disappear completely.
  • After treatment you'll notice subtle results, which are natural looking.
  • Botox is very safe, it's a prescription-only medicine and should only be used in the hands of a skilled professional.
  • It promotes a tighter, smoother, more youthful look.
  • Botox treatment can also be used as a preventative, to prevent lines deepening as you get older.

Every month, thousands of people have botox injections to help reduce visible wrinkles and fine lines, but there are many more who are hesitant because of rumours and myths associated with botox treatment.
  • There are some who think that botox is just a treatment for older people, but anyone who has started to show lines and wrinkles on their face can benefit from botox. The face is one of  the first areas that shows signs of ageing, and it can start to happen at any age, which is why some people have treatment when they are still in their twenties.
  • One worry is that botox injections will limit the range of facial expressions. This isn't true. When botox injections get administered by a trained doctor or practitioner, they will only target those muscles that are responsible for the facial wrinkles and lines, and will leave the surrounding tissues undisturbed.
  • Some people think that once you start having botox, you'll have to keep on having treatments forever. While it's true that botox is temporary, it can easily be repeated as often as necessary, but people can stop having treatments when they like and their skin will just gradually return to its natural state.
Botox can treat many facial areas and concerns, including;

Crow’s feet: Botox helps to ease the wrinkles at the edges of the eyes, that are usually caused by ageing.

Frown lines: Botox can smooth out these furrows which are mostly caused by repetitive facial movements, and they can make you look tired or a lot older than you are.

Forehead Lines: The skin on the forehead can become smoother, clear of lines and uneven textures with botox injections.

Lip lines: Using a soft approach, botox can erase the smokers lines above the top lip, leaving the area looking natural, but without the lines.

Bunny lines: The wrinkles on both sides of the nose, right below the bridge can easily be treated by relaxing the muscles which bunch the skin. 

Jaw: Botox injections can contour and soften the jaw line and can also help with excessive teeth grinding.

Versatile Ways To Use Botox at Selson Cosmetic Clinic - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Botox is one of the least invasive cosmetic procedures available, and demand for it has risen over the last decade, making botox treatment an affordable luxury. While we all know about the cosmetic benefits of botox, it's interesting to know that the use of botox for cosmetic purposes came about accidentally, when a Canadian doctor discovered an unexpected side-effect when she noticed that patients being treated for uncontrollable eye spasms began losing their frown lines when they had injections of botox. Although the results are temporary, the procedure was simple, safe and effective.

Botox causes a temporary improvement of the fine facial lines by blocking nerve transmission to temporarily reduce the facial muscle contractions which cause wrinkles and frown lines. These lines will look finer or potentially fade after multiple treatments, which give the face a more graceful appearance. 


The skin tightening caused by botox injections around the eyebrows and forehead, are similar to a non surgical face lift, by relaxing the facial muscles that cause the wrinkling associated with ageing. The skin tightens after the botox injection and the face starts looking younger within a short period.
These days, botox is mostly used as an anti-ageing facial treatment, and improvements can easily be made on many parts of the face, but it also works for other medical conditions.

Places where can Botox help:
  • Eyes - Used to take away fine lines and wrinkles from around the eyes
  • Chin - by softening the cobblestone or puckered appearance of the chin
  • Lip Lines - botox softens the lip lines and smokers lines above the lips
  • Nose - It can lessen the nostril flaring, to trim the width of the nose
  • Eyes - Will lift the brow, raising the outer third of the eyebrow and creating the perfect arch
  • Nose - By reducing the horizontal bunny lines on the upper part of the nose
  • Armpits - Injections of botox can stop excessive sweating under the armpits (hyperhidrosis)
  • Head - We use botox to treat migraines and tension headaches
Botox can work wonders, giving your face a fresh, healthy and wrinkle-free appearance, not a startled and expressionless look. A highly trained practitioner will tailor any facial remodelling treatments to suit each person, as no two faces are identical.

For women who are wary of going under the knife, but would like to lessen wrinkles and enhance their facial features, botox, a non-surgical injectable face lift option could be just what they're looking for. So whether you want to reduce wrinkles and fine lines or use as a treatment for medical ailments, the benefits of using botox are many.

Botox at Selston - Safely Put Your Face in Our Hands - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Botox is an injectable treatment used to improve the signs of ageing on the face, whether to reduce  the deep lines on the forehead or to relax the facial muscles to give asymmetry to the face. Botox is actually a purified toxin, but although it is a toxin, when used in small amounts, it doesn't cause any damage to the body.

Botox is a prescription only medicine, so doctors, dentists and registered nurses can prescribe and inject botox, however, beauticians can inject botox, but their clients must first be given a face-to-face consultation with a medical professional who can prescribe the drug. With botox being a prescription-only medicine, it's illegal for beauticians to use any botox that hasn't been prescribed for you.


When considering getting botox, the first thing you should do, is see a medical professional. You are having an injectable treatment, so it's imperative you should choose a  trained, qualified practitioner to inject the botox into your face and they'll need steady hands, the eye of an artist, and the ability and passion to get it just right.

Good practitioners are those who have been doing facial aesthetics for a several years, who go on training courses and have a good knowledge of facial anatomy, but there are some people who try to treat people with little or no training. Theoretically, on one day someone can go on a beginner’s botox course, and the next day go on an advanced course, during this time they may have only ever injected one client, but they can call themselves an advanced practitioner. 

A face to face consultation is essential, as the practitioner will listen to what you would like to improve, and assess whether botox treatment is suitable for you, while taking note of your aesthetic concerns, preferences and your desired results. The practitioner will also tell you the risks, which can include allergic reactions, bruising and minimal swelling.

  • A good botox treatment will have precisely placed injections in strategic places; into your frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet around the eyes and neck bands, leaving you with smoother, younger skin that looks more relaxed and healthy.
  • Botox administered by unprofessional, untrained people, is a different story. Too much injected botox can leave you with an unnatural frozen look, or when it's injected somewhere on the face it shouldn't have been, it can cause asymmetry and drooping eyes.
Even after many warnings on television and in newspaper articles, an increasing number of women, and men, are still taking the risk of having botox injections done by people with no medical qualifications or knowledge of facial anatomy, who basically are just injecting it into your face and hoping for the best. 

In the hands of a fully trained practitioner, the safe, effective placement of botox can create a natural look which will make your face look and feel more refreshed and relaxed.

Non Surgical Liquid Facelift to Refresh & Rejuvenate the Face - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As we get older, the essential structure of our face changes; because of lifestyle, smoking, gravity and general ageing. We produce less collagen and elastin, which are proteins that are essential for elastic, youthful-looking skin, and with less collagen and elastin being produced, this means the skin will eventually start to sag. The loss of facial elasticity and volume can also lead to wrinkles, creases and folds developing.


Wrinkles - frown lines, horizontal forehead furrows and crows’ feet at the eyes. Also the bunny lines on the sides of the nose and the lipstick lines on the upper lip.
Volume loss - this tends to occur in the mid-face around the cheek-bones causing sunken cheeks and hollows beneath eye area.
Folds and creases - lines around the nose to mouth, the naso-labial and marionette lines, the chin and jowl areas. 

A liquid facelift is a temporary treatment which uses injectable dermal fillers, as well as botox, to restore facial volume, reduce wrinkles, and rejuvenate the face. Known as a non-surgical facelift, it's a cosmetic technique which uses botox; which can help to reduce dynamic wrinkles and dermal fillers for restoring lost volume which will create a more lifted, naturally youthful look.

Botox is a muscle relaxant, and gets injected using a disposable syringe with a very fine needle; small amounts of botox get injected very precisely into different locations on the face, which we decide by carefully examining the movements of the muscles of your face. The injection will temporarily suspend muscle movement in that area, smoothing out forehead furrows, crows' feet and smokers lines on the lips.


While dermal fillers are sometimes known as wrinkle fillers, they do a lot more than just smooth out wrinkles;
  • They smooth out the deep marionette lines, or smile lines around nose and mouth
  • Restore volume to sunken cheeks
  • Fill in the tear trough hollows under the eyes
  • Give volume and enhance the lips
  • Soften vertical lip lines, or smokers lines
  • Smooth out chin creases
  • Restore the natural, curved facial contours
A liquid facelift will enhance the natural features of the face, smooth and tighten the skin, and balance out the shape of the face using advanced injectable techniques, with instant, dramatic results. There's no downtime with this procedure, although you might consider taking a few hours to relax, allowing the results to settle and take shape. Any discomfort is temporary and any bruising or swelling is minimal.

Refresh Your Face With a Botox Brow Lift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Eyebrow grooming has now become one of the most important treatments in women’s beauty routines. We trim and shape the brows with tweezers, waxing and threading and tint them with semi-permanent make-up, to get the HD brows that are all the rage. However, as we age, the eyebrows tend to become flatter and slowly drift downwards. The arch can become straighter making us look older or even angry or sad, and a heavy sagging brow can cause you to look tired or unhappy.
When you look at someone, you'll notice that the eyebrows are a very expressive area of their face, just the slightest movement of the brow can convey a variety of emotions. Even when you look in the mirror at yourself, you'll see that the eyes and forehead play a prominent role in how we communicate our feelings and emotions. As we get older, the more our skin loses its elasticity, and the constant movement of our facial muscles can create folds and this can leave lines and wrinkles on the face. The overuse of these muscles through smiling, talking, frowning and crunching up the forehead can really affect the skin's condition, and unfortunately lines and wrinkles can start appearing in our 20's and 30's.
Botox is an anti-wrinkle treatment which uses a highly purified protein to block the signals from the nerves to the muscles, causing the muscles to relax. This stops them from contracting, helping to smooth out the lines and tighten the skin, giving the face an overall rejuvenated appearance. 
On our face, we use muscles that pull down the eyebrows and muscles that lift them upwards. A skilled practitioner can carefully inject botox into the muscles that pull downwards, giving a lift to the brows. Botox gets injected into two or three muscles which to pull the brow down, changing the dynamic balance and achieving a lift in the appearance. A botox brow lift, using this non-invasive injectable treatment will rejuvenate the upper face and leave you looking rested and refreshed.
Botox brow lifts are fast and can take years off of your facial appearance. Any pain associated with the injections is minimal and any potential discomfort can easily be minimised by applying a topical anaesthetic before your treatment. Botox, when injected by a trained practitioner is extremely safe, almost painless and any side effects are extremely rare. The treatment requires a detailed understanding of the underlying anatomy and using a very fine needle, botox treatment is incredibly precise. Over the course of 2-14 days the brow muscle will relax and the eyebrow will naturally lift.

Refresh Your Face With Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It's inevitable that as we get older, the more we will notice fine lines and wrinkles starting to appear on our face, starting with crows feet at the eye area and gradually spreading to the rest of the face. Botox is a safe, simple and gentle treatment which can treat lots of areas, depending on the way your facial expression muscles work. A fully trained, experienced practitioner should always carry out these treatments, as the face is a delicate area to work on.
Botox brow lift before and after
Areas affected by expressive and static lines:
  • Frown lines - we might find that over time, deep lines between the eyebrows and above the nose become quite prominent. Frown lines can appear as two deep furrows that sit between the eyebrows and they are sometimes called the number 11's. To stop you overworking this area, botox injections can relax the muscle, which will also help to reduce the static groove.
  • Forehead - we tend to get both expressive and static lines forming horizontally across our forehead. These wrinkles can dramatically age your appearance, but the use of botox will relax the lines, and stop the area from over-expressing.
  • Eyes - crows feet at the corner of the eyes are a big concern for lots of people. The eyes are one of the most obvious areas for showing age, and with it being a delicate area you should always choose an experienced, highly skilled practitioner to treat them. The eyes are one of the most commonly requested areas for botox treatment.
  • Bunny Lines - these are the straight, slightly diagonal lines on both sides of the nose, under the bridge, that appear when we smile or laugh. They become obvious when we scrunch up our nose when laughing, or through the natural process of ageing.
  • Brow - we have muscles in the face that pull down the eyebrows and muscles that lift up the eyebrows. Injecting botox into the muscles that pull downwards is an ideal way to lift the brow area as it relaxes the muscles that we use to frown, and this lifts the weight that we naturally want to push down.
  • Jaw line - botox can relax and shrink the enlarged masseter muscle on the jaw line near the ear. Botox injections can streamline the area, giving a smooth, heart-shaped jaw line, softening the contour of your lower facial area.
Botox on crows feet before and after

The botox itself stays where it's injected, it doesn’t travel anywhere else in the body, and it gradually wears off naturally, after 3-6 months. The key to successful botox is subtlety; enhancing your face with careful and well thought out treatment, striving to give your face a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance, and avoiding a frozen or startled look.

Erase Fine Lines & Wrinkles With Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Botox injections have been safely used for some years now, and it's become one of the most popular anti-ageing treatments on the market, due to its safety and effectiveness. We must always remember that despite Botox's popularity and its increasing use, the treatment is still a medical procedure, and only a fully trained and highly experienced cosmetic doctor or nurse practitioner should carry out this treatment.
  • Always check out the practitioners qualifications.
  • Avoid gimmicks, such as: two for the price of one or introduce a friend and get a discount.
  • Always make sure the place you go to have treatment is clean. 
  • The cheapest priced treatment isn't always the best.
  • Check out their before and after photos and see what results they achieve.


Dr Bassi is highly trained in botox techniques and at your free consultation at Selston Cosmetic Clinic, he will discuss what requirements you have, and what your expectations are. Dr Bassi has performed thousands of botox treatments and our client base is increasing year upon year, mainly by word of mouth client recommendations.

We inject botox into specific muscles and this relaxes the muscles and prevents contraction. The repeated contractions of the muscles are what cause the skin to crease,making fine lines appear. We administer botox with fine needles, making the procedure quite painless. Afterwards you might get slight swelling and redness and with any procedure there's the risk of bruising, but this is minimal and can easily be covered by make up.

Botox, when done properly, should leave your face looking relaxed and refreshed, with no-one being able to tell you’ve had wrinkle reduction treatment. By choosing the right cosmetic doctor to achieve your aim, your appearance will look much improved, but still remain looking completely natural.


Botox can also  be used to:
  • Reduce over active frown / expression lines.
  • Reduce crows feet/ lines and wrinkles
  • Correcting lines from repeated facial expression and worry lines
  • Give you an eye lift
  • Correct eyebrows that look uneven
  • Tighten the jaw line
  • Correct the down-ward-turning corners around each side of the lips
  • Treat migraines
  • Treat hyperhidrosis (armpit sweating)
Continuity is always a good idea, so if you are having botox, fillers or any treatment where you go back for top up's and more treatments, it's wise to use the same practitioner who knows what you want, what you are hoping to achieve and who knows your face. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, Dr Bassi has attended many conferences and courses, and his skills are always being updated.

Botox Injections to Relax & Soften the Face - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

One of the main things that makes people nervous of having botox injections, is the thought of leaving the clinic with a mask like expression on their face. But botox doesn't have to leave you with a frozen looking face, because when it's done properly, it can make you looking younger, fresher and more vibrant. Tell-tale signs of badly injected botox, are a smooth and shiny forehead, or a face that doesn't move when you laugh or cry.


Once you have decided to have botox treatment, you must find a qualified and experienced doctor. A good cosmetic doctor must have a good knowledge about facial anatomy and skin.

We built the Selston Cosmetic Clinic on the strong foundation of Dr Bassi's 26 years of experience in medicine;
  • Dr Bassi has been a part of the aesthetic industry for over 10 years and has a keen passion for human aesthetics.
  • He is fully trained in botox and advanced botox techniques and has performed thousands of procedures.
  • Dr Bassi continues to develop his techniques to provide the most up to date treatments to meet all the individual needs of all our clients.
  • He has successfully performed thousands of botox procedures, and is always updating and perfecting his technique, by attending lots of conferences in facial aesthetics.
  • Dr Bassi tailors his facial remodelling treatments to suit each patient, using artistry and scientific principles of beauty.

Before having any botox treatment, a consultation with Dr Bassi will be necessary. At the free consultation, he'll be able to tell you of the benefits, as well as any potential risks that might be associated with botox treatment. At the clinic we have a high client satisfaction rate and have many returning clients. Selston Cosmetic Clinic prides itself on delivering a professional, cost-effective service, which is well received by our clients.

The furrows that develop between the brows can give you an expression of intense concentration or even make you look angry. Relaxing these wrinkles will give your face a softer, more relaxed expression. A small amount of botox gets injected into the muscle that has created the wrinkle, and this results in the muscle relaxing, which softens the look of the wrinkles.

Botox is most commonly used to reduce frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead, crow’s feet or laughter-lines. Botox treatment isn't just about making you look more youthful, but more about making you look fresher and rejuvenated.
