Anti- wrinkle injections
Will I look frozen or expression-less?
Not at all! You can achieve a very natural looking result. We tailor the dose based on your current muscle strength and the look you want !
How long it takes for results to show?
You start noticing results approximately 5- 14 days!
How long does it last ?
It can last roughly for 3-4 months on average.
Naturally, with regular treatments, your muscles will stay relaxed for longer and therefore there will be longer intervals between treatments!
What causes fine lines and wrinkles to appear?
Repeating certain facial expressions such as raising eyebrows, frowning or smiling/squinting, along with the quality of our skin, the underlying muscle activity will cause the skin to fold and crease, leaving fine lines and wrinkles. With time and repeated activity, the lines will start being there permanently, and not just during facial expressions!
How will anti-wrinkle treatments help?
In order to soften the lines/ wrinkles, anti-wrinkle injections can be used to relax the underlying muscles in very small amounts.
'Botox' is a term used often to describe these treatments. There are several different brands in use. Azzalure® is the one we tend to use for these particular areas as its proven to work best in these areas with longer lasting results. It is a prescription only medication, therefore only trained medical professionals should be carrying these treatments out
What is involved in the treatment ?
It is important to assess a patient with a full face and neck approach to achieve the most optimal, harmonious and balanced results as possible
A series of small injections will be used in very specific areas to help relax the muscles. No numbing is needed as its very minimal discomfort. No downtime needed either!
