Anti-wrinkle injections
To soften & relax facial expressionlines
Why do lines and wrinkles develop?
Ageing is associated with the development of wrinkles, which are often unwanted and distressing. Wrinkles develop over time due to the loss of collagen in the skin after repeated use of the facial muscles and these become permanent lines and deep furrows. The effects of sun damage, smoking and stress can exacerbate the problem.
What treatment helps?
Treatment with Botulinum Toxin (Botox® or Xeomin®) can visibly smooth and soften wrinkles and lines on the face by injecting tiny amounts directly into the muscles. The injections temporarily relax treated facial muscles, helping reduce the muscle contractions causing lines and wrinkles and ultimately helping the skin to repair.
It is particularly effective on ‘dynamic’ lines caused by over active muscle contraction, such as; the frown lines between the eyebrows, the horizontal forehead lines, and the ‘crow’s feet’ or ‘laughter lines’, as well as correcting down turned mouths and neck lines.
Is it Safe?
This treatment has been used safely on over 1 million people worldwide for more than 11 years and still remains the most popular of all cosmetic treatments due to its exceptional success rate. It is a prescription only medication and should only be administered by an appropriately trained medical practitioner to ensure that the correct amount of treatment used is specific to each individuals need. Correctly performed treatment will leave the face with normal expression but with a more relaxed and youthful appearance.
Is the treatment painful?
The treatment is only mildly uncomfortable and local anaesthetic creams can be used if needed.
How long does the effect last?
Injections take effect about three to seven days after treatment and the effect lasts three to four months initially, but can last up to six months, after a year of treatment. Repeat injections will be required after this period of time to maintain the benefit of treatment.
