Anti-Wrinkle Injections
(Botox)
If fine lines, wrinkles and premature ageing are impacting your confidence, anti-wrinkle injections may be the right cosmetic treatment for you.
Anti-wrinkle injections are a non-surgical treatment that helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing the facial muscles, giving you a more youthful appearance. They can also be used to effectively treat excess sweating, known as hyperhidrosis, combat a gummy smile and can even be used to treat jaw slimming. Anti-wrinkle injections are performed at our clinic by a professionally trained Aesthetician.
What is it?
Botox works to prevent the formation of static wrinkles by stopping the signal between the nerve and muscle.
The decreased movement in the muscle places less stress on the skin helping you maintain a fresh and youthful appearance. This treatment is most effective when used as a preventative measure. They are made from a purified protein that temporarily causes facial muscles to relax, softening lines and wrinkles and reducing the severity of visible wrinkles.
Anti-wrinkle injections do not remove deep, fixed lines, they may reduce them slightly, and they will stop them from getting worse. Still, if they are deep, you will also require either dermapen, laser resurfacing, or dermal filler.
Anti-wrinkle injections are the treatment of choice to smooth lines on the upper face but do not work to smooth lines on the lower face. For lines on the cheeks, between nose to mouth, lines on the top lip, or marionette lines - dermal filler is the best treatment option for the areas.

Risks and benefits will be discussed in your consultation and before having the treatment a consent form will be signed highlighting once more any side-effects.
The most common side-effects would be bruising or swelling. It’s important to follow our aftercare instructions to reduce any risks of the injection reaching more muscles than intended (for example causing a lazy eyelid). Overtreating can be another side-effect however anti-wrinkle injections are only temporary.
Patients who have been having anti-wrinkle injections for a long time can build antibodies meaning the effects not working. If this is the case another brand of injection could resolve the issue. -
