Anti Wrinkle Treatments

Anti Wrinkle Injections

Expected results – soften the appearance of wrinkles 

Treatment time – 15 to 30 mins

Botox is a purified form of the botulinum toxin that is obtained from bacteria. Though it is deadly in larger amounts, the tiny, regulated amount of Botox given to correct wrinkles has been used safely for decades.

Botox works by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected. When those nerve signals are interrupted, the affected muscle is temporarily paralyzed or frozen. Without movement of these selected muscles in the face, certain wrinkles may be softened, reduced, or even removed.

Botox and other treatments made with botulinum toxin are sometimes called neuromodulators or neurotoxins.

In my clinic in Romiley, anti-wrinkle injections are one of my  most popular cosmetic treatments for male and female clients of all ages and skin types.

The results from botox treatment can restore the confidence you may have lost over time. After administering anti-wrinkle injections for over 18 years and having performed many procedures, I am  highly skilled in administering ‘BOTOX’ treatments and consistently create amazing results that are natural-looking and subtle, and make  you look fresh. People may wonder why you’re looking so well, but they’ll never know (unless you tell them).

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it last ?

• Anti-wrinkle injections last for three to six months depending on the client, with top up treatments available should you wish.(between 2-4 weeks after the initial injections)
• During the treatment, I  will use a specially developed technique to administer a controlled amount of Botox into the area using a fine needle. Numbing cream is available should you need it, but the procedure is relatively pain-free, and many of my clients choose to have treatment without it . 
• Results are noticeable within a few days, with optimum results becoming apparent at around 2 weeks post-treatment. 

Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to treat areas such as:

• Frown lines – Forehead lines resulting from gathering of tissue between the eyebrows or fold, and caused by squinting and frowning.
• Crow’s Feet – Fine lines that form around the eyes, typically caused by sun exposure and smoking.
• Bunny Lines – Fine wrinkles that appear when you scrunch up your nose, such as when you smile or laugh.
• Necklines – Necklines including horizontal ‘necklace lines’ and vertical ‘platysmal bands’ (Nefertiti Neck Lift) can be caused by everything from genetics and ageing to spending too much time looking down (i.e. at your phone).
• Marionette Lines: Creases or folds that start at the outer corners of the mouth and run down to the outside edges of the chin. Marionette lines can be caused by various factors, including bone structure, skin type and the amount of fat and collagen in your face.
• Jaw slimming , relaxing the masseter muscle (teeth grinding)
• Anti-wrinkle injections can also be used to treat medical conditions such as migraines, excessive sweating and facial flushing.

What is the aftercare?

• Anti-wrinkle injections boast having very little downtime attached and before you leave the clinic your practitioner will ensure you have been given any relevant aftercare instructions. You will need to avoid rubbing / touching the treated area (including applying make-up) for up to 4 hours, post procedure. For up to 24 hours you should avoid strenuous activity and exposing the skin to extremes of heat or cold should also be avoided for up to 1 week.

What medical history do we need to know?

• If you are suffering from any illness and taking any related medication. If you’re taking aspirin or anti-inflammatories this could affect your suitability for treatment, as bruising is more common when treatment is carried out in conjunction with these medications.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• If you’ve experienced any problems with Botox in the past, or with injections in general.
• If you have any inflammation in the muscles or skin where you’d like us to inject.
• If you had ever had problems swallowing.
• If you’ve ever had any surgery that may affect the area you’d like us to inject, or if you have any pending operations.

Is it safe?

• I  ensure that all anti-wrinkle injections are performed to the highest standard, as patient safety is of paramount importance.

What are the side effects?

• Minor side effects are commonly experienced with anti-wrinkle injections. Some redness, swelling, itching and bruising can appear at the treatment site, which has usually subsided within 12 – 24 hours. This will be explained to you during the pre-treatment consultation, along with any other potential side effects that can occur.

Possible side effects of Botox include:

• drooping of the eyelid or brow if injected near the eye
• weakness or paralysis of nearby muscles
• Hives, rashes, or itching
