The Concern:
Ageing results in loss of elasticity in the skin giving a looser, dull look. This can be due to simple genetics and how your skin changes over time but also a result of sun exposure, stress, smoking, alcohol consumption, and dehydration. We will all age, but there is a myriad of ways we can lessen the severity of our wrinkles and lines and we have lots of solutions to help.
The Solution:
Anti-wrinkle injections can help reverse these signs of ageing no matter what has happened to your skin in the past!
Commonly referred to as Botox, anti-wrinkle injections are used to smooth lines and wrinkles for a younger, more rejuvenated look.
By reducing overactive muscle movement in the face, your skin becomes relaxed and gets a chance to recover from continual movement. The result essentially irons out your skin giving it a smoother younger look.
The Method:
During the treatment Anti-Wrinkle injections will be injected into the patient’s face, this relaxes the contraction of facial muscles by blocking nerve impulses. Since these muscles will no longer be able to contract, the face relaxes and this softens and reduces wrinkles and creases in the skin. Getting Anti-Wrinkle injections only takes only a few minutes. You won’t need anaesthesia although a topical numbing treatment may be used if requested.
Our clinician uses a small needle to inject this treatment into specific muscles with only minor discomfort.
The Results:
The results of Anti-Wrinkle injection treatments typically begin to appear within a few days after the injection. However, the full results may not be visible for about 1 – 2 weeks, so it is important to wait an adequate amount of time before seeking a touch-up treatment. Once you get this treatment, your muscle movement will be restricted. Rather than being a filler (which is what many people mistakenly think), Anti-Wrinkle injections are actually a muscle-relaxer.
Aftercare:
You can go right back to your job or normal life straight after this procedure. There is very little downtime involved.
Immediately after your treatment, you may notice small red bumps. These will resolve in 20-30 minutes. Bruising is always a possibility. If you bruise, this will be very minimal and should resolve after a couple of days.
