Anti-wrinkle Injections

The anti-wrinkle injections temporarily reduce and eliminate facial wrinkles by blocking the nerve impulses to the muscles that cause wrinkles and creases to appear and thicken over time.

Anti-wrinkle treatment is quick, safe and highly effective.

Anti-wrinkle treatment is non-invasive and amazingly only takes 30 minutes, meaning you can carry on with your daily activities right after the anti-wrinkle treatment is complete. You will begin to see results soon after treatment and the recovery time is very fast. Other than some swelling and possible bruising around the treatment area, the majority of patients will have no other post-treatment symptoms. 

Anti-wrinkle injections have a series of aesthetically pleasing benefits, including: 

• Dramatically reduces visible signs of aging, fine lines & wrinkles               

• You will look refreshed, younger and more vibrant                                    

• Enhance your natural beauty 

• Rejuvenated skin 

• Speedy results

• No downtime

• Non- invasive procedure 

A consultation is required prior to all treatments. A common question asked is how long will anti-wrinkle injections last?

This will differ from person to person, but you can expect to have a result that lasts between 3 to 6 months after having undergone anti-wrinkle treatment. Fortunately, the treatment can be administered many times over in a safe and practical way. I always recommend intervals of 3, then 4 then 5 then a continuation of 6 month top ups.

If you feel the anti-wrinkle treatment is fading, you can come back to our facial aesthetic clinic for a quick top-up!

A small pin-prick sensation can be felt with each injection, but with the needles being so small, pain is usually minimal.

You will be surprised at how quick and easy anti-wrinkle treatment is!

When wrinkle relaxants are given by an aesthetic professional, complications are few and far between. When the treatment begins to take effect, you may feel a temporary numbness at the targeted area.

Occasionally,  clients report minor headaches after the treatment, however, these generally fade within 24 hours. Other potential side effects include an itching sensation, redness, swelling or bruising around the anti-wrinkle treatment area.

​

For the first 4 hours following the procedure you shouldn’t lie flat, there is a risk that the botulinum toxin will spread out too much, possibly in the wrong direction. Once your treatment has been performed, you must use the treated muscles intensely for up to four hours! So frowning or squinting (like when you look at the light) is good.

It’s important not to rub, massage or put pressure on the treated area for the first 4 hours. It’s no problem to lightly touch it in order to wash it, but prolonged intense pressure should be avoided.

Non-mineral make-up is not recommended for at least 4 hours following any treatment. Smoking and drinking alcohol should be avoided. Refrain from taking any hot showers, baths or jumping into the old hot tub. After a few days the effect of the botulinum toxin will become noticeable and after 2 weeks the result is optimal/maximal.

​

After about 2 weeks the maximum effect of the anti-wrinkle treatment will be apparent. At that point if you would like to, you can arrange a follow up. In order to maintain an optimum effect, the treatment should be repeated after 3-6 months.
