One of the most effective ways to turn back the clock is with Botox. It not only diminishes the appearance of existing facial wrinkles but it also prevents new wrinkles from developing thereby preserving youthful skin for longer.

The most popular facial areas treated with Botox are the forehead, frown line between the eyebrows and the “crow’s feet” around the eyes. However, our experienced Guildford practitioner, Dr Sim, also carries out advanced Botox including the neck, downturned mouth and armpits to reduce sweating.

Younger clients or those wanting a very natural result can opt for “Baby Botox”. This approach is much softer and means the targeted areas maintain some movement whilst still delivering the wrinkle prevention benefits of conventional Botox
Although the Botox treatment itself is very quick, easy and comfortable, Dr Sim will carry out a detailed initial consultation using the White Swan signature 6-point protocol to allow him to accurately plan the best dosing and placement.

He will also make bespoke recommendations about other treatments or skincare which would work well with your skin type and face shape, in combination with the Botox.

Results last between 3-5 months and we offer a complimentary top up after 2 weeks, if required.

The White Swan philosophy is that our unique 6 step consultation protocol, including skin and facial proportion analysis, combined with our gold standard product range is the winning combination. Across all of our clinics we only use market leading products with the most clinical evidence behind them including Juvederm, Restylane, Aliaxin and Teosyal. Our belief is that ‘one shoe does not fit all’ and so the doctor will assess your skin type and treatment goals and carefully select the most appropriate product to suit your needs and deliver the best possible result.

We have built our reputation on providing skilful, natural and artistic facial aesthetics and strive to achieve the highest level of client care in our beautiful Guildford clinic.

Our range of treatments include:

Botox, Dermal fillers, including lip augmentation, chin, jawline, tear trough, cheeks and smile lines.
Profhilo skin remodelling treatments and Obagi medical grade prescription skincare both tie in perfectly with our other injectable procedures to create long-lasting, beautiful treatment outcomes.

All consultations are complimentary so please don’t hesitate to contact one of our knowledgeable treatment coordinators on 03335777926 to find our more information or to book an appointment in our Guildford clinic.
We do kindly ask for a £50 deposit which can be used towards a treatment of your choice. It is refundable if the consultation is cancelled with more than 24h notice or you decide not to proceed with treatment.

Botox Treatment Areas

Forehead/Migraine Treatment

Botox relaxes the facial muscles that cause lines and creasing, therefore reducing existing wrinkles and preventing new ones from developing. Lots of our clients request a very soft “Baby Botox” approach on the forehead which still allows movement of the eyebrows but without the deeper lines appearing. Other clients want a strong and super smooth approach. This is why our doctors carry out an initial, detailed consultation so that they can select the correct dosing and injection placement for each person to achieve their desired goals.

Botox for the forehead can also be a miracle treatment for migraine sufferers and people who get tension headaches as the forehead muscles are more relaxed after Botox treatment.

White Swan review all treatments and offer a complimentary “top up” after two weeks, if required. On average, the treatment lasts 3-5 months. You will get the best long-term outcome and most wrinkle prevention benefits by repeating the treatment just as it wears off. However, if you decide not to continue then your facial muscles will return completely to their natural state.

Frown (Glabella)

The vertical lines between your eyebrows are otherwise known as the “number 11 lines” or the glabella area because each time you frown or squint in the sun, the glabella muscle pulls together, creating this crease. This muscle is one of the strongest in the face and therefore the frown lines between the eyebrows are often the first on the face to form and as time goes on, they can become very prominent. If left too long, Botox alone may not completely smooth the lines and therefore a combination of Botox and delicately placed dermal filler may be required. Treating this area with Botox still means you have full movement of your upper forehead thereby making it look and feel natural.

Crow’s Feet

Crow’s feet, or laughter lines, appear at the corners of your eyes when you smile or squint. Treating this area softens the lines without affecting your smile. For those clients looking for a soft and natural approach, the crow’s feet and glabella make a beautiful Botox combination because you still have movement of the forehead area whist smoothing creasing between the brows and around the eyes.

Eyebrow Lift

Botox can be used to lift the eyebrows and open up the eyes. A small dose can be carefully put under the tail end of the brow which will make it slightly more arched. Botox can also be used to correct uneven brows and facial asymmetries when done by an experienced doctor who understands facial anatomy and the movement of the facial muscles.

Bunny Nose

If you scrunch your nose when you smile and laugh or look into the sun, you may develop bunny nose lines. Botox can soften these creases on the nose area and is an area which works well in combination with Botox around the eyes and frown area.

Gummy Smile

Many people show more gum, when they smile, than they would like. The Aesthetic ideal is to show around half of your upper teeth when you smile or just a small amount of gum. Botox can be easily used to correct this and drop the lip downwards a little so that when you smile wide, less gum is visible. This is a useful technique which our doctors and dentists can use to hide the edges of fillings or crowns if they have discoloured.

Lift The Corners Of The Mouth/Marionette Lines

Drooping at the corners of your mouth can be due to a combination of ageing, genetics, weight loss or sun damage. The depressor muscle either side of the lower lip pulls the corners of the mouth down and applying Botox to this area can restore the mouth to a more neutral, happier position. The deeper lines that extend from the corners of the mouth downwards are called the marionette lines and filler may be required, in combination with the Botox, to plump and lift this area.

Smokers / Lipstick Lines

Superficial lines above the upper lip, otherwise known as “barcode lines” can be easily treated with a small amount of Botox. These are caused by the muscular action when smoking, puckering the lips or whistling. If there has been volume lost around the lip area then a little filler may be required to further improve the results.

Nefertiti Neck Lift

This is a completely non-invasive treatment with Botox that targets the jawline and neck, tightening the muscles and creating a little lift. It’s named after the Egyptian queen Nefertiti, who was considered to have an especially elegant and regal jawline. This treatment is considered to be two areas of Botox and specifically targets the jawline muscles and neck platysma, which are superficial muscles in the neck. This treatment can work really nicely with our Profhilio neck remodelling treatment which aims to improve the skin texture and quality.

Dimpled Chin

This is a completely non-invasive treatment with Botox that targets the jawline and neck, tightening the muscles and creating a little lift. It’s named after the Egyptian queen Nefertiti, who was considered to have an especially elegant and regal jawline. This treatment is considered to be two areas of Botox and specifically targets the jawline muscles and neck platysma, which are superficial muscles in the neck. This treatment can work really nicely with our Profhilio neck remodelling treatment which aims to improve the skin texture and quality.

Hyperhidrosis (Excess Sweating)

Hyperhidrosis is a condition commonly known as excessive sweating. The severity ranges from relatively mild (which can often be controlled with antiperspirants alone), to more a severe issue which requires the use of advanced treatments. Excessive sweating can be caused by a diverse range of factors including the use of certain medications, lifestyle and genetics.

Botox injections are a highly effective solution to prevent excess sweating. The treatment works by blocking the neurotransmitter that stimulates the sweat glands therefore vastly reducing, and even eliminating, the sweat produced. Botox can be used to prevent excessive sweating in the armpits, head, hands, feet and face.

Once we have mapped out the area requiring treatment, a series of small Botox injections are administered. There is no recovery period so you can go straight back to work or get on with your day as soon as your appointment is over. Our highly skilled Dr Sim in Guildford will ensure that the treatment is nearly completely painless.

Results can be seen 5-10 days post treatment and can last 6 months or more. We offer a complimentary follow-up appointment after two weeks to ensure that all our clients are fully satisfied with the results and, if necessary, we can top-up the treatment. For the hyperhidrosis treatment to continue working in the long-term, the treatment will need to be repeated every 6-9 months. Dr Sim in our Guildford location will discuss and construct an ongoing treatment protocol with you during your consultation.

Step-by-step Process

The dentist or doctor will use their expertise to carefully map out the way your muscles move with white pencil and decide how to target them to achieve the best results possible.

Tiny insulin needles are used to place the solution under the skin. With the correct technique this is nearly painless.

Initially small bumps appear where the Botulin Toxin solution has been placed but these resolve within 20 minutes.

After 1-2 weeks the area will be smoother and the texture of the skin improved.

The doctor will review you and offer a complimentary top up, if required.
