Anti Wrinkle Treatment
Anti Wrinkle Treatment is our most popular non-surgical procedure, as it offers such effective results in gently erasing the signs of ageing.
It is suitable for:
- Furrowed eyebrows
- Relaxing lines and wrinkles
- Forehead lines/frown lines
- Crow’s feet
- Lines in the neck
- Dimpling on the chin
- Excessive perspiration
Anti Wrinkle Treatment works to relax the muscles used when you frown, squint or smile. Facial expression such as this creases the skin and causes lines and wrinkles to appear in the specific areas of facial movement e.g. frown lines. With ageing and slower collagen production, the problem becomes more obvious as the skin cannot repair so well.
About Anti Wrinkle Treatment
Anti Wrinkle Treatment itself is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium.
It is injected into the muscles using an extremely fine needle, where it acts to reduce the muscle activity and therefore smoothes out lines and wrinkles. The sensation is a mild stinging, so there is no need for local anaesthesia or pain killers.
The treatment itself is very quick, only taking around 10 minutes and you can return to normal activities immediately. You really can have Anti Wrinkle Treatment in a lunch hour.
The improvement is not permanant, it normally lasts around 4-6 months; at which point a further treatment would be arranged to maintain the benefit.
Injecting into frown lines is a proven successful treatment. Results are visible within hours, but the full effect can take up to a fortnight to be complete.

About Fillers
If you are treating deep lines, then a filler such as Juvederm may be a more appropriate solution. Fillers are injected into deep lines and creases to provide volume and plump out the lines. See more information about fillers.
