ANTI-WRINKLE

ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS

Anti-wrinkle injection treatment, which is one of the most popular anti-aging procedures in the aesthetic industry today, is performed to eliminate or minimize the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of ageing. It is also used to help with hyperhidrosis – excessive sweating and bruxism (teeth grinding). It can also be used to isolate and relax facial muscles to create a non-surgical lifting effect to the mid face.  This minimally invasive procedure uses a type of toxin from a bacterium called Clostridium Botulinum. When used in small doses, it is capable of keeping skin wrinkling at bay without causing negative side effects. It works by weakening or paralysing the muscles that create wrinkles or by temporarily blocking specific nerves from stimulating muscle contraction. Each anti-ageing injection treatment can keep the face wrinkle-free for as long as six months.

TREATMENT

We work only with the industry leading toxin Botox® by Allergan. It is recommended for people who wish to eliminate or minimize the appearance of wrinkles and other facial lines, such as:

• Crow’s feet or the lines surrounding the corners of the eyes
• Frown lines or the deep creases that develop between the eyebrows
• Forehead furrows or the lines that appear when one raises an eyebrow

The Botox® drug is most effective as a preventive procedure or when used on wrinkles that have not set yet. These are called dynamic wrinkles that appear when a person is moving his or her face. The treatment is also believed to help prevent wrinkles, or at least prolong the time it takes for them to come back so is suitable for young and older skin.  Static lines - lines which are visible even when muscles are relaxed can be treated but can take a few treatments to be eliminated.

Patients who undergo Botox treatment for cosmetic reasons can expect their wrinkles and facial lines to disappear for about three to six months. After which, they may elect to get injections again to prolong the effect. Many people prefer Botox® over other cosmetic facial treatments such as facelift because it is minimally invasive and does not require lengthy recovery or downtime. After the procedure, patients can return to their normal daily activities - although there are some recommendations in home-care straight after treatment, such as not causing excess heat in the skin, to allow the toxin to take effect.  You will be provided with this information before you leave your first appointment.

Treatment options:
Treatments can be given in frown lines, forehead furrows, crows feet, chin pebbling, lip lines (also known as lipstick or smokers lines), gummy smile (where gums above the teeth are revealed when smiling) lip flips (to reveal more of the lip area), hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and masseter (jaw relaxing injections which helps with teeth grinding and can also help to slim the jawline).

Upper face areas can be combined as 1 to 3 treatments together such as frown lines, frown lines and forehead or frown lines and eyes, or frown lines, forehead and crows feet. *please note we do not recommend treating forehead lines without treating frown lines due the the dynamic pull between these muscle groups as it can result it bunching of the muscles responsible for frowning. Treatment prices do vary according to your individual needs – please book your consultation to discuss your desired outcome.

As Botulin toxin is a prescription only medication, you will have a consultation with a medical prescriber as well as your in-clinic consultation to ensure the toxin is safe and appropriate for you and the outcome desired. They will then prescribe the drug for you individually so that treatment can be performed in-clinic – providing a full record of your personal treatment plan and specific product used.

Three areas: £250

FAQ's

I have not had anti-wrinkle treatments before.  How do I know which treatments I would benefit from?
Every new client has a thorough consultation where we will discuss your concerns, what your desired outcome looks like and then a treatment plan is agreed with you.  You will also receive a medical consultation which will cover your medical background to ensure each treatment is suitable to you specifically.
How long is the recovery time ?
Anti-wrinkle injections are relatively painless and treatment takes a few minutes per area.  You may experiencing a little pinprick bleeding and small bruising is sometimes possible but is not usual.  You would be able to leave the clinic with little or no outward signs of treatment.
How long does it take to see results?
As we are working with a toxin which works on reducing the movement of muscles, the injections can take up to two weeks to take effect.  This is why all reviews at taken two weeks after treatment to ensure over treatment does not occur.
How many treatments will I need ?
All new treatments are booked with two appointments (both included in the treatment cost) - the first for initial treatment and the second to evaluate the outcome and decide if additional toxin is needed to achieve the desired result.  We prefer to take this approach so as to minimize the risk of over treating.
What results can I expect to see ?
Everyone's anatomy is different and so results will vary from person to person, however you absolutely will notice a pronounced smoothing in wrinkles and fine lines in the treated areas.  In clients with static lines, it can take a few treatments to eliminate lines completely.  This will be discussed at your consultation.
How long will the results last ?
When first treating lines with toxin, results usually last around three months.  As you progress with your treatments and muscle movement is reduced many people find that treatments last longer - sometimes up to six months.
