Dear Peter iam wondering if you can help me, Ive seen your before and afters on here and the tear troughs one is amazing, I have a few questions one for my mum aged 56 regarding the tear troughs pics how much is it for that result estimate as I know its hard, do you practice in the north west area at all? if not do you recommend anyone? and for me Iam 32 with luckily only a few tiny lines on my forehead across and central between eyebrows would microdermabrasion suffice and work for now or do you recommend any other facial treatment without needles!? or do you recommend botox (very scared bout it) or Ive heard alot lately re baby botox so its nowhere near as noticeable its been done what are your thoughts on baby botox, thanks for your help
Hi there,
When it is well done I think Tear Troughs are a fantastic treatment. I only practice in Surrey but I know of a very good Tear Trough doctor in the Cheshire area. If that’s any use to you I suggest that you email me directly (see my website for email) and we can take it from there.
Usually forehead and frown lines are due to the repeated creasing effect of the underlying muscles which is why the muscle-relaxing effect of Botox is so effective. Nobody likes the thought of injections but the Botox needles are really tiny and I have ‘needle phobic’ clients who cope very well. Microdermabrasion is unlikely to work.
Baby Botox is a term used to describe the use of small doses of Botox to preserve a lot of muscle movement. Although this may seem an attractive option and can work well we mustn’t lose sight of the fact that Botox produces it’s anti-wrinkle effect through muscle weakening. Hence the less the muscle weakening, the less the anti-wrinkle effect will be. This balance between dose of Botox and effect is one that is best decided at a face-to-face consultation because each person will differ in what they are looking to achieve.
Best wishes,
