Anti Wrinkle Injections

Our anti wrinkle injections offer A YOUNGER, MORE REJUVENATED APPEARANCE with botulinum toxins.

If you want to soften lines and wrinkles in your face, botulinum toxin injections may be something you would like to consider. This treatment is also known as anti-wrinkle injections and these can help to smooth lines and wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated look.

Common treatment areas for this are frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. Other areas in the lower face can also be treated.

The goal of the treatment is to reduce or prevent the movement that causes wrinkles, allowing the skin to recover in those areas.

This treatment typically involves a series of 3 appointments if you are a new patient, or it has been over 6 months since your last appointment.

During the initial appointment, you will discuss the treatment, your desired outcomes, and what is realistically achievable for you.

Anti wrinkle injections are prescription-only medications that require a face-to-face consultation. You will be asked to complete a health questionnaire to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the treatment. If deemed suitable, a prescription will be issued by our Independent Nurse Prescriber, Kat, and the product can be ordered.

Your second appointment will be when the treatment is administered. This treatment itself usually takes around 10 to 15 minutes, but we allow 30 minutes for the appointment time.

A follow-up appointment will be scheduled 2 to 3 weeks later. During this appointment, the results will be assessed, and additional treatment may be recommended based on your desired outcomes.

Anti wrinkle injections, skin health and aesthetics

The anti wrinkle injections work by blocking the chemical messages from the nerves to the muscles, causing the muscles to remain in a resting state. It may take 3 to 5 days to notice any visible results, and the effects typically last between 8 to 12 weeks on average.

Depending on the amount and location of the injections, muscle movement can be slightly reduced or completely blocked, resulting in minimal or no movement at all. Your treatment can be customised to suit your specific needs, and the expected outcomes will be discussed during your consultation.

You will be asked to make various facial expressions to determine the injection sites. The area will be cleaned, and the injection points will be marked. A small, fine needle will be used to administer the treatment just below the skin.

Temporary lumps and redness may occur at the injection sites, but these typically subside within a few minutes. Aftercare instructions will be provided, and you can resume your regular activities.

The injections are performed using a very fine needle, and most patients do not find the treatment to be painful. Local anaesthesia is not typically required.

Botulinum toxin has been used since the 1970s for various medical purposes. Its effects on the body are well understood, as it has undergone rigorous testing. The risks associated with this treatment are minimal, and the small doses used for aesthetic purposes are considered safe.

While some side effects such as bruising, headaches for the first 72 hours, uneven results, and localised infection can occur, measures to minimise these risks will be discussed during your consultation.

Prices:

This heavily depends on the treatment areas and will be discussed during your consultation so you are fully aware of the costs, but typically starts from around £180 – £280 for upper face treatments.
