Anti Wrinkle Injections
Anti wrinkle injections use small injections of Botox to soften lines and wrinkles and balance muscle function in both the face and neck, resulting in a natural freshening of the face and improved skin elasticity.
They provide a refresh for the whole face but are particularly effective for jawline slimming, downturned mouth corners, frown lines, forehead lines, bunny lines and crow’s feet. It can also treat Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
The anti wrinkle treatment creates a more relaxed facial appearance by smoothing out facial wrinkles developed by the ageing process. Anti wrinkle injections can be a very satisfying alternative to surgical face lifts that often require a month or more of recovery time. The effects of an anti-wrinkle injection will last for several months and can look more natural than surgical alternatives.
Are there any risks or side effects?
As with all injectable treatments, there is a small risk of bruising, swelling, and redness at injection sites, which resolves quickly. Other rare, temporary side effects include, but are not limited to; allergic reaction, asymmetry of expression, drooping of the eyebrow or upper eyelid, headache, sensation of tightness or heaviness.
Again these are very uncommon if you are being treated by a qualified medical professional, and are expected to resolve spontaneously within weeks. Your practitioner will provide aftercare advice designed to minimise risk of adverse effects and ensure you get the best results from your treatment.
Caution – If you are planning to attend an important event such as a wedding or special occasion, and if any adverse event such as bruising or a drooping eyebrow would be unacceptable to you, please consider booking an earlier appointment date.
How long does it take to see results?
You will usually see the first effects of the treatment at around 3 to 7 days. Full effect is at 14 days. If you require any additional Botox at your review appointment, the final results will be following a further 14 days. Therefore if you are wanting Botox for a certain date, it is recommended to book your treatment appointment at least 1 month in advance.
