As the name suggests, anti wrinkle injections are used to target just that: wrinkles!

Unlike dermal fillers where volume is increased in areas of the face to reduce the visible signs of wrinkles, anti wrinkle injections relax the muscle instead to smooth out fine lines.

Also known as Botox injections, anti wrinkle treatments are the most effective way to reduce the signs of ageing. This treatment is suitable for forehead lines, crows feet, laugh lines and many other common forms of wrinkle.

Anti-wrinkle injections can be administered to most areas of the face. Most people tend to have the frown/forehead and eye region (crow’s feet).

Our treatments soften frown lines such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, “11” lines, smoker’s lines, neck bands and even the armpits for excessive sweating.

We like to always ensure that the entire face stays in balance/harmony and may sometimes suggest having the lower face region injected-this could be the lip/chin/neck regions too. These injections are also done to help with migraines as well as bruxism (teeth grinding) and excess underarm sweating (Hyperhidrosis).

One of the reasons that makes this treatment so popular, is that it is virtually pain-free. You’ll be able to enjoy smooth, wrinkle-free skin with minimal discomfort. If you are apprehensive about the use of needles, rest assured that the needles used are so fine that you will barely feel them.

Most patients say that the only sensation they feel is a slight pinch at the injection site, and nothing more. If you are still unsure, local anaesthetic is available at your request.

As with most cosmetic treatments, anti-wrinkle injections can cause some common side effects. Not to worry though, as they are often only temporary and kept to the treated area.

The most common side effects of anti-wrinkle injections include:

Redness
Bruising
Swelling
Facial pain
Headache and nausea
Muscle weakness

As mentioned, the side effects listed above are only temporary and will only last for a few days.

Anti wrinkle injections are performed all over the world every day by experienced practitioners. The only time that anti wrinkle injections wouldn’t be safe is if they are being administered by an unexperieced practitioner not using injustry leading solutions for their injections.

Botox itself is a prescribed treatment that is used for many medical conditions as well as for cosmetic and aesthetic benefit.

We request that following an injectable treatment, you do not apply any makeup to your face for at least 6 hours prior to treatment.

We would also advise that to get the best results out of your treatment, you should avoid alcohol and heavy exercise for 48 hours after your injectable treatment.

The results from anti wrinkle treatments usually arrive between 3-14 days after treatment. Everyone is different and will react with the injections differently however, your results will definitely be visible by the 2 week mark after treatment.

This question can be challenging to answer as it varies depending on several factors, including the depth of the wrinkle, the type of anti wrinkle solution used and the area being treated.

For first-timers it is common for your results to last anywhere between 3-6 months before requiring a top up (some people may get a little longer in duration depending on their lifestyle and genetics).

Following your treatment, our medical professionals can provide more information on extending and maintaining results to ensure you’re getting the most out of your treatment.

Cost for anti wrinkle injections is dependant on the area being treated and the results you would like to achieve.

At your initial consultation your desired results and course of treatment will be discussed with you, and your practitioner will be able to provide an accurate cost for your course of treatment.
