ANTI-WRINKLE (BOTULINUM TOXIN)
Anti-wrinkle treatments give you a smoother more youthful face by reducing the appearance of frown, crows feet and forehead lines. Botulinum Toxin (B-Tox) is injected into targeted muscles of the face to relax them, this reduced muscle contraction therefore causes the skin above to move and pull together less so the wrinkles cannot form.
We use a tailored approach to each individual as everyones face is different, this allows us to achieve your desired look and many of our clients only need to visit 2 or 3 times a year. Our procedures are safe, effective and most people feel very little, if any pain.
Results from anti-wrinkle treatments are seen just 2 weeks following your appointment!
What to expect with anti-wrinkle injections?
The first thing to remember is that Botulinum Toxin in the forehead, frown line and crows feet is actually preventative to ageing, so the sooner you start the better. Don’t worry if you are thinking of starting a little later in life, you will still get lovely results, it might just take a few extra sessions to combat some of the ageing that has already occurred.
Most of our clients experience minimal discomfort from anti-wrinkle injections, as we use the smallest and most premium needles. After Botulinum Toxin has been injected, it will gradually kick in over the next 2 weeks. At 2 weeks, we usually invite our clients back to check the progress and to add any more product if required to give the best results.
How can I ensure a preventative approach to ageing with Botulinum Toxin?
Quite simply, keep up with your treatments on a regular basis. If you are new to anti-wrinkle injections, we advise returning every 3 months to achieve the best preventative, anti-ageing results. Scientifically, Botulinum Toxin only lasts in the body for 3 months, after this point your muscle movement will start to return quite quickly. It is this muscle movement under the skin which causes the skin to move and crease, repetitively, this will cause the wrinkle to reappear.
If you keep up with your treatments every 3 months you will start to see results lasting longer than 3 months, this is when you can gradually start increasing your intervals. Some of our clients only need to visit 2-3 times a year to maintain their results.
