Botox® / Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Performed by one of our medically trained aesthetic doctors or nurses, anti-wrinkle injections are one of the safest cosmetic procedures available. The formula is simply injected into a muscle underneath the wrinkle, which then relaxes the muscle and rejuvenates the skin.

How Long Do Anti-Wrinkle Injections Last?

Results vary from patient to patient, but you can expect your anti-wrinkle injections to last for 3 to 4 months. However, if you take good care of your skin, especially in the sun, the injections could last longer.

How does anti-Wrinkle Injections  work?

Botulinum Toxin (Botox ®) when injected into a muscle temporarily relaxes the muscle by blocking nerve impulses. As the nerve impulses are blocked the muscle is temporarily unable to contract, so that dynamic wrinkles are not formed. This gives the overlying facial skin a softer, smoother and more youthful appearance.

Who are anti-wrinkle injections suitable for?

Anti-wrinkle injections can be used for treating wrinkles in men and women.

What age can you start anti-wrinkle injections?

There’s no single right age. Some people start in their twenties or thirties as a preventative measure, while others wait until their forties or later. The best first step is a consultation with one of our doctors or nurses, who can advise what’s right for you. Please note we only treat clients aged 18 and over, for all of our treatments.

Does it hurt, and is there any downtime??

Most people find the treatment very comfortable, describing it as a quick scratch. There’s little to no downtime, so you can usually carry on with your day straight afterwards. As with any injectable treatment, there’s a small chance of minor bruising, but this is uncommon.

How long does the affects last?

It can take about 2-14 days to see the full effects after the initial treatment. The cosmetic effects can last up to six months but typically range from three to four months. Eventually most people require re-treatment as the wrinkles reappear.

However, in some treated areas (such as frown wrinkles), the wrinkles may return less severe after repeated treatments as the unconscious muscle contraction habit is broken.

Is there any side effects?

Most people find that the injections cause only mild local pain and tenderness. Immediately after the injection there may be mild swelling at the injection site which usually subsides within 48 hours. Slight bruising is also possible. More serious complications are very rare.

How far before a wedding or event should I book?

We recommend booking at least six weeks before any important event. That gives your results time to fully settle, and allows time for a review if needed.

Who carries out the treatment?

All treatments are carried out by our medically qualified doctors and nurses.

Which areas can be treated?

We treat forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, the masseter (jaw) and offer a neck lift.
