Anti Wrinkle Treatments contain Botulinum Toxin as the active ingredient. The area to be treated is injected with the toxin which causes the muscle to relax, this in turn improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Anti-wrinkle and fine line treatment can be used on the following areas, the forehead, frown lines, crows feet, bridge of the nose, jaw, chin, upper lip, gummy smiles, neck, décolleté and arm pits.
At your consultation we will discuss our treatments with you, to see what is the best option that suits you, other treatments may also be recommended.
What does it involve?
The consultation is the first step in your initial treatment. This will allow you to meet with your practitioner and discuss your goals and concerns.
After the consultation, your skin is sterilised and the botulinum toxins will be applied into your facial muscles using a fine sterile needle.
Depending on what area you are treating, injections may be required in various places. To help you find the most suitable place to inject, it will be necessary to move your facial muscles, which will be assessed on the day of your appointment.
After Anti-Wrinkle injections: What should you expect?
There will be no immediate changes. It takes a few days to take effect and the maximal benefit is approximately two weeks.
For 24-48 hours after the initial injections, it is advisable not to have your head looking down for prolonged periods, not to get hot and sweaty e.g., vigorous exercise, sunbeds, saunas, spicy food or have excessive volumes of alcohol or have any abrasive facial treatments until two weeks after your last anti-wrinkle injections. You can ask your practitioner for more information about the things you should do and not do.
The effects last for approximately three to four months, however, everyone is different, so results sometimes vary. Anti-Wrinkle injections should not be repeated for more than 3 months, except for the “top-up”, which is a two-week review post the initial appointment.
Anti-Wrinkle injections pose very little risk if they are prepared properly and administered correctly by a qualified practitioner.
