How Anti Wrinkle Injections Work

Botulinum toxin, is a natural, purified protein, produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. It is used to temporarily relax the muscles in the face responsible for causing lines and wrinkles.

The toxin works by blocking the transition of chemical messages sent from the nerve to the muscle which would ordinarily cause the muscle to contract. While these messages are suppressed, the muscle remains relaxed and the facial expression lines appear reduced.

Anti Wrinkle Injections can be used on the forehead lines, frown lines, crow's feet, bunny lines (lines in the nose), chin (for dimpling), skin bands on the neck, and around the mouth (for smoker's lines and down-turned.

Anti Wrinkle Injection Procedure

A very fine needle is used for the injection(s) and generally the treatment is not painful and can be administered without anaesthetic. For nervous patients we use ice to numb the skin and reduce bruising.

Botulinum Toxin is a prescription only medicine, so you must have a consultation with my licensed nurse prescriber, prior to treatment. An appointment will be made at the time of booking treatment.

Effects of Anti Wrinkle Injections

The temporary side effects of the procedure should only last a few days and may include swelling, bruising and redness/tenderness.

You will start to see the effects of your anti-wrinkle treatment after 2 or 3 days. The full effects may be judged after 2 to 3 weeks and typically last a few days and may include swelling, bruising and redness/tenderness.
