Anti-wrinkle treatment (BOTOX)

Anti-wrinkle injections are a cornerstone in aesthetic medicine for those seeking a non-invasive, yet profoundly effective, solution to combat the signs of ageing. They are an effective treatment option for wrinkles and lines in the forehead, between the eyebrows and around the eyes.

They are made from a drug called botulinum toxin which is an FDA approved drug for medical and cosmetic conditions.  It has been used by millions of people worldwide for many years and has a proven safety profile. There are different brand names of anti-wrinkle injection such as BOTOX but they all work in a similar way to reduce wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause them. Results usually start to be visible within 2 weeks and last for approximately 3 to 4 months.

Repetitive movement of muscles in the face such as the forehead, eyebrows and around the eyes causes the skin to wrinkle and eventually remain permanently wrinkled even when these muscles aren’t moving. By relaxing the muscles and reducing their movement the wrinkles are smoothed out and in some cases eliminated.

By addressing wrinkles at an early stage, we can prevent the development of deeper lines, contributing to a more enduring youthful appearance. Regular anti-wrinkle treatments can be viewed as a proactive investment in maintaining skin elasticity and vitality.

If you are found to be suitable for anti-wrinkle injections after a consultation with your doctor, a bespoke treatment plan will be made for you. We can carefully select a dose that would be most suitable for you so that you have a natural look with slight muscle movement and facial expression and not a “frozen” look with no muscle movement. With this non-invasive effective treatment, we redefine ageing, celebrating the beauty that stands the test of time.
