Lines and Wrinkles
Anti-wrinkle injections help relax the facial muscles associated with lines and wrinkles , consequently providing a temporary solution to smoother skin and a natural, rest and rejuvenated appearance. You’ve probably heard of this as the most popular cosmetic treatment around the world, and I chose to use a brand named “Botox” which is a medicine derived from botulinum toxin.

Case Study
Before
After
Aftercare
Keeping your facial muscles active after the procedure will help the treatment to take effect. Try to avoid any unnecessary touching of your face during the 24 hour period directly after your treatment. You can carry on with your day as normal, although we advise that you avoid strenuous activity/saunas/other facial treatments for up to 24 hours. After 4-10 days you will notice an improvement in your lines/wrinkles, and this result will last approximately 3-4 months. Do not consume any alcohol or pain medication immediately after the anti-wrinkle procedure, and avoid air travel for 48 hours. We do not recommend undergoing any electrical rejuvenation treatments in the week following your anti-wrinkle treatment.
FAQ
Is botox painful?
The procedure is largely pain free, with the exception of mild discomfort which is experienced due to the small needle injection involved. You may notice some soreness in the injection site directly after the treatment, but this should subside quickly.
WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS?
Most side effects are short-lived and mild, the most common being mild bruising to the site of the injection. Some patients also report mild headaches shortly after the treatment, but these usually subside within 24 hours.
ARE ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS SAFE?
Botulinum toxin has been in medical use for more than four decades, and it is administered in such a way that it only affects your muscles and sweat glands – it does not reach any other part of the body. As long as it is administered by a qualified medical professional, the risks are extremely minimal.
CAUTIONS / CONTRAINDICATIONS
You should not have this treatment if: • The injection site is infected; • You are allergic to any of the ingredients; • You are pregnant or breastfeeding; • You have a neuromuscular disorder (e.g. myasthenia gravis).
ARE 'BOTULINUM TOXIN INJECTIONS' THE ONLY OPTION FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GET RID OF THEIR WRINKLES?
Not at all, there are various options. It may be that dermal fillers or facial peels or dermaroller are possible alternatives for you. Before you undergo any treatment, you will be invited for a consultation to determine what is best.
Can Botox be used for a brow lift
When used correctly, botulinum toxin can have a lifting effect on the brows. However, it is a common misconception that it’s use in the forehead alone can lift the brow, when in reality this can actually have the opposite effect if used incorrectly.
