What is an Anti Wrinkle Injections and how does it work?
Our facial expressions change because the muscles in the face contract or relax. Anti Wrinkle Injections are injected into a specific muscle it blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles in the face. This is not permanent but it will last for around 3 – 4 months.
After Anti Wrinkle injections, your skin around the area that has been treated will look smooth and less wrinkled. Anti Wrinkle Injections allow the untreated areas of your face to move as normal and you will still be able to laugh smile and frown, but with less wrinkling of the skin in the areas treated.
Treatment areas include:
- Frown Lines
- Forehead Lines
- Crows Feet
- Underneath the Lower Eyelid
- Upper lip (vertical lip lines)
- Chin (dimpling)
- Tip of the nose (droopy tip)
- Droopy Mouth Corners
- Platysmal Bands (neckbands)
- Double chin

What is an Anti Wrinkle treatment and how does it work?
Anti Wrinkle treatments are simple, quick, and safe & usually take no longer than 30 minutes. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the procedure. Results show 7-14 days, although you may well notice it sooner. Results Last 3-4 Months.
You will have a consultation with our practitioner, where you will be able to discuss your expectations of the cosmetic effect of this treatment. A medical history will be taken & Photographs may also be taken as “before and after” images to show you how successful your Anti Wrinkle treatment has been.
Using a small needle (similar to ones diabetics use) tiny amount of botulinum toxin will be injected into points in the agreed area.
Possible side effects can be localized bruising.
It is important to note that if you have deep lines that are visible at rest, botox will soften these & improve the appearance but may not totally remove them.
You should not have Anti Wrinkle treatment if:
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- If you have diseases that affect muscle activity (E.g. Myasthenia Gravis)
