What Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections are on the frontline of anti-ageing treatments.
Overtime lines such as Crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles and even the bunny lines at the top of the nose may develop on your face because of many factors, such as ageing, sun exposure, dehydration, smoking, gravity and poor nutrition. They are even created by your own facial expressions due to constantly contracting from laughing, smiling and frowning.
But by carefully injecting Botulin toxin A (which is a naturally occurring protein) into particular muscles in the face, can achieve a well-rested and more youthful look which is subtle, yet incredibly effective. I offer free top-up on this treatment if needed.

How Do Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work?
The anti-wrinkle injections work by injecting small doses of Botulin toxin A under the skin into specifically targeted areas of muscle which then blocks the nerve impulses causing the muscles to relax. That in turn, reduces the appearance of lines and eliminates wrinkles to produce a look that is fresh and more youthful. The effects will begin to appear within 2-7 days of the treatment with the maximum effect at around 2-3 weeks.
You are can carry on with your daily activities right after the procedure.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
If a top-up of botox is required then it must be administered between 2-4 weeks after initial treatment.
After care advice includes avoiding exercise for 24 hours following, and do not bend over, lie flat or push on the injections site for 4 hours.
Also, no make-up, saunas or steam rooms for 24 hours.
It is also advised that you do not take any medication that thins the blood for several days prior to your treatment as this can increases the risk of bruising.
