An active ingredient used in anti-wrinkle injections is Botulinum Toxin Type A. Some of the well-known prescription-based injections of this sort are Botox® and Bocouture®.
Botulinum toxin has been used medically for more than 20 years as a way to reduce wrinkles. Botulinum toxin blocks the nerve signals that cause the muscles to contract. This results in the possible elimination of frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet and lines around the mouth. A similar principle also applies to giving a brow lift or treating bunny lines, dimpled chin, a gummy smile or a downturned smile.
The potential full effect can be seen after 2 weeks. Treatment of lines and wrinkles tends to last between 3-6 months, with the effect gradually wearing off.

Consultation
During your consultation we will assess your skin and evaluate whether or not anti-wrinkle injections are the most suitable treatment. We may recommend a combination treatment with dermal fillers if you have volume loss as well as wrinkles across certain areas of the skin. Once you are happy to proceed, we can book you in for your treatment.
Treatment
A topical anaesthetic cream is used to numb the treatment sites. Once our Aesthetic Practitioner Amish Patel has checked the areas are fully numbed, the injections are administered with a thin needle. The injections take approximately take 15-30 minutes depending on how many zones of the face are being treated.
