WHAT ARE ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS?

Botulinum toxin is an FDA-approved medicine and the most well-known brand is BOTOX®. BOTOX® is a very popular cosmetic treatment used to treat wrinkles on the face and neck.

Our anti-wrinkle injections involve injecting small quantities of Botulinum Toxin (BOTOX™) into specific muscles using a tiny needle; this smooths lines and wrinkles by stopping the muscle from moving. As the muscle no longer contracts to cause crease lines, it creates a natural softening to dynamic lines and wrinkles and giving you a natural, fresh, and rejuvenated appearance.

While the Botox is working, these lines cannot get any deeper as you are not repeatedly creasing the skin, which is why people often have this treatment to prevent the formation of wrinkles.

Anti-wrinkle injections do not remove deep, fixed lines, they may reduce them slightly, and they will stop them from getting worse. Still, if they are deep, you will also require either  laser resurfacing, or dermal filler. Andrew will be able to advise you on the day of your appointment if Botox is the right option for you or if another treatment is required to remove your lines.

Anti-wrinkle injections are the treatment of choice to smooth lines on the upper face but does not work to smooth lines on the lower face. For lines on the cheeks, between nose to mouth, lines on the top lip, or marionette lines - dermal filler is the best treatment option for the areas. 

Botox is regarded as being safe and has been used to treat tens of millions of patients worldwide for both medical and cosmetic reasons over the past two decades

When administered correctly, Botox will typically last for 3 – 4 months (however individual factors apply and some clients get a longer or shorter duration than this), Botox is not painful as ultrafine needles are used.

It is a quick, easy, and very effective treatment with little or no recovery time.
