ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS

Anti-wrinkle treatments are prescription-only injectable treatments that use botulinum toxin type A to temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They work by relaxing selected facial muscles, helping to soften expression lines and create a smoother, more refreshed appearance.

Common treatment areas include frown lines (between the brows), forehead lines and crow's feet (around the eyes). Following a thorough consultation and assessment, treatment may be recommended where appropriate and suitable for your individual needs.

Results are temporary and vary from person to person. A in person face to face consultation with our experienced Nurse Prescriber is required before treatment can be prescribed and administered.

Anti-wrinkle treatments work by temporarily reducing the activity of selected facial muscles that contribute to the formation of expression lines and wrinkles. By relaxing these muscles, the skin appears smoother and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles can be softened.

Common treatment areas include the forehead, frown lines (between the brows) and crow's feet (around the eyes). Results develop gradually over several days, with full effects typically seen within two weeks following treatment.

Before treatment, a face-to-face consultation and facial assessment will be carried out by our experienced Nurse Prescriber. During your consultation, you will be asked about your medical history, current medications, treatment expectations and aesthetic goals to ensure treatment is appropriate and suitable for your individual needs.

The treatment area will be cleansed and the injection points carefully assessed before treatment begins. Anti-wrinkle treatments are administered using a very fine needle and the procedure, with treatment often taking just a short time depending on the areas being treated.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment and can usually return to their normal daily activities shortly afterwards. Full aftercare advice will be provided following your appointment.

Anti-wrinkle treatments may be suitable for adults who wish to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as part of a personalised aesthetic treatment plan. Suitability for treatment varies from person to person and depends on a number of factors, including your medical history, current health and individual treatment goals.

Anti-wrinkle treatments may not be suitable for everyone. Certain medical conditions, medications, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding may affect whether treatment can be safely prescribed and administered.

A face-to-face consultation and assessment with our Nurse Prescriber is required before treatment. During your consultation, your medical history, suitability and treatment goals will be carefully reviewed to determine whether treatment is appropriate for your individual needs.

Following treatment, it is normal to experience mild redness, swelling, tenderness or small bumps at the injection sites. These effects are usually temporary and typically settle within a few hours, although some individuals may experience minor bruising that can take a little longer to resolve.

Results do not appear immediately and usually begin to develop over several days, with the full effect typically visible within two weeks following treatment.

As with any injectable treatment, there are potential risks and side effects. These will be discussed fully during your consultation and consent process. Most side effects are temporary and resolve without further treatment.

Following your appointment, you will be provided with detailed aftercare advice to help support the best possible outcome. If you have any concerns after treatment, our team will be available to provide guidance and support.

The duration of results varies between individuals and can be influenced by factors such as the treatment area, muscle activity and individual response to treatment. In most cases, results can last for approximately three to six months before the effects gradually begin to wear off.
