Anti-Wrinkle Treatments
Anti-Wrinkle injections are used to treat facial wrinkles and lines, which are caused by repeated facial muscle contraction during expressions. As we age over time, these lines become deeper and more prominent. Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin made by a bacterium called bacteria clostridium. When injected into the muscle, the botulinum toxin works by temporarily causing muscle paralysis. This prevents muscle contraction, thereby softening/eradicating the lines.
If the lines are already static at rest, they can be softened, but they won't disappear completely. It is therefore important to note that this treatment is best done preventatively before the lines have formed.
Typical Areas Treated with Anti-wrinkle injections:
Forehead Lines
Glabellar Area
Crows Feet
Brow lift
Bunny Lines
Gummy Smile
Downturned Corners of Mouth
Pebbled Chin
Jawline Slimming/ Masseter
Neck Lift/ Platysmal Bands
Hyperhidrosis (Excess Underarm Sweating)



Treatment
After assessment, small injections are placed into the muscle. No numbing is needed as there is very little discomfort.
The appointment takes around 15-20 minutes.

Downtime
There is no downtime with this treatment and people can resume their day as normal!
It is common to see small raised blebs on the surface of the skin after the procedure. However these usually disappear within 1 hour of treatment.

Result
Results are seen 10-14 days after treatment. The effects usually last around 3-4 months but this varies for each individual.
