BOTOX (ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS)
What are anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections can help slow down the signs of ageing by reducing overactive facial muscles that pull and tug on the skin – this helps your skin look smoother and tighter. The rest the skin gets from the muscles constantly contracting, allows the skin to relax and smooth out, revealing a fresher look and more youthful appearance.
The treatment is gentle lasting from 3-6 months and prevents those frustrating fine lines developing, that tell far too many secrets about our age than we would like. Regular treatments 2/3 times a year can prolong those results making you feel more attractive all year round.
Anti-wrinkle injections can also be used for treating medical conditions, including – excessive armpit sweating (Hyperhidrosis), teeth grinding (Bruxism)and headaches (Migraines). Book in an online consult with an expert to discuss your needs.

How do anti-wrinkle injections work?
Botulism Toxin is a bacterium that occurs naturally in the environment. This is the principal component of anti-wrinkle injections. When botulinum toxin is injected into a muscle, it prevents nerve impulses from reaching the muscle. Once injected, the nerve delivers contraction impulses to the muscle, but as we age, the muscle no longer responds. After treatment, the skin has less visible wrinkles and a smoother appearance.
Over time, this block dissipates, and nerve-muscle communication resumes, resulting in muscular contractions. The medication will begin to take action gradually within a few days, but it may take up to two weeks to reach its full potential. It is then naturally broken down and gradually disappears within three to six months.
The toxin breaks down naturally within the muscle but is not transferred to any other sites in the body, making it entirely safe to use.
We find the optimal dose specific to your skin to achieve a natural appearance that lasts at least four months. Most of our clients return within four to six months. With Many of our male clients only needing repeat treatment twice a year, however it depends on how much upper-face muscle movement you are comfortable with.

Anti Wrinkle Injections FAQs
What do anti wrinkle injections do?
Simply put, anti-wrinkle injections inhibit impulses from the nerve to the muscle. Over time, the facial muscles may become more active and generate a great deal of movement. This action subsequently stretches and folds the skin, causing wrinkles. With time, these wrinkles and fine lines deepen.
When there is a little obstruction between a nerve and an overactive muscle, the muscle ceases to contract excessively. This therapy is just temporary, and the block will dissolve on its own over time. Receiving frequent treatments might result in a more youthful appearance with fewer wrinkles.
How long do anti-wrinkle injections last?
We provide anti-wrinkle treatments that last a minimum of four to six months. Due to our decades of knowledge, we are able to examine your skin and muscle strength in order to determine the optimal dose. This will give you a sleek, durable appearance.
Our clients only need to come back 2/3 times a year. The duration of therapy may also depend on your expressiveness, your metabolism, and whether or not you smoke or drink.
Are anti-wrinkle injections painful?
If administered carefully by a competent practitioner, anti-wrinkle injections are virtually painless. The use of micro-fine needles makes the treatment pain free. We choose to invest a little extra on our needles to guarantee minimal pain for our patients. We differ from many aesthetic clinics that still favor the older, bigger insulin needles, which may cause greater pain and bruising.
We may also administer numbing cream to people who are more anxious. Simply inform us at the time of booking that you would prefer cream, and we will provide it upon your arrival.
Can you have anti-wrinkle injections during pregnanancy?
There have been no clinical trials testing the safety around anti-wrinkle injections during pregnancy. Therefore, we can provide no information about this.
We always recommend patients have treatments after their pregnancy and when they have finished breastfeeding.
Your skin will be naturally glowing through your pregnancy so enjoy your healthy look and come and see us once you feel ready.
