The Harley Medical Group warns against Botox binges

PR Log (Press Release) – Oct 12, 2009 – The Harley Medical Group has revealed that recent reports from the States suggest women are binging on Botox to the point where their faces look frozen. Suffering from so-called 'Wrinklerexia', some Botox-devotees become so obsessed with their crease-free image they begin to see lines where there are none and binge on Botox to get a freeze-frame face.

Doctors at The Harley Medical Group - the UK's largest cosmetic surgery (http://www.harleymedical.co.uk/ ) provider - strongly recommend that patients opt for smaller doses of Botox and are turning patients away who demand treatment they don't need.  

Liz Dale, Director of The Harley Medical Group said: "Used properly, Botox (http://www.harleymedical.co.uk/non-surgical-solutions/li ... ) is a fantastic treatment giving smoother, tighter and more youthful looking skin. But like with any procedure, it's highly inadvisable to have more done than is necessary. At The Harley Medical Group all Botox treatments are administered by specially trained doctors who will look out for signs of a Botox 'habit' and will advise patients according to their individual needs."  

The Harley Medical Group works tirelessly to maintain the highest standards in the industry for the benefits all cosmetic surgery and non surgical patients.  The group is at the forefront of the campaign to ensure that the Government continues to regulate the use of certain laser types used in cosmetic surgery and non surgical treatments so that patients are protected from rogue practitioners.

Dr Nick Milojevic, Botox Doctor at The Harley Medical Group said: "When used correctly, it's extremely difficult to see if someone has had a Botox treatment. Botox has a fantastic preventative benefit, helping to prevent more wrinkles from forming whilst stopping lines and creases already present from deepening.  'Baby Botox', a lighter variation of the treatment, only uses extremely low doses of the toxin to give a very subtle and natural effect."
