A Patient’s Guide to Botox® and Anti-Wrinkle Treatments in Wimborne
Welcome to Restore Skin Clinic. I am Dr. Chi (GMC: 7040931), a General Practitioner with a specialist interest in medical aesthetics.
I believe that any aesthetic treatment involving a prescription-only medication—such as Botox®—should be handled with the same clinical rigor as any other medical procedure. My approach is rooted in safety, anatomical precision, and achieving natural-looking results that respect your unique facial features.
At my Wimborne clinic, I personally conduct every consultation and perform every procedure. This ensures that your journey is guided by professional medical advice, from the initial assessment of your skin health to the careful administration of treatment and dedicated follow-up care.
What is Botox®?
Botulinum Toxin Type A (commonly known by the brand name Botox®) is a purified protein used in medical aesthetics to temporarily relax the muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles.
At our Wimborne skin clinic, Dr. Chi uses these treatments to address common concerns such as:
Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
Forehead wrinkles
Crow’s feet around the eyes
Advanced "medical-aesthetic" applications like hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
Medical Information Disclaimer: Botox® is a prescription-only medication (POM). In the UK, it can only be prescribed following a face-to-face clinical consultation with a qualified medical professional.
