anti-wrinkle injections
What is botox?
Botox is a neurotoxin known as Botulinum Toxin, it is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment aimed at reducing the appearance of wrinkles and facial lines. This procedure results in a temporary interruption of the nerve signal and a reduction in muscle activity. By relaxing specific muscles, it prevents them from contracting, and therefore prevents lines from showing. These lines can be minimised significantly, and in most cases completely erased.

Frequently asked questions about botox
How long is the treatment?
You will need an initial consultation so we can come to an understanding of what you would like to achieve out of the appointment. The procedure takes approximately 5-10 minutes.
Pain scale?
Anti-wrinkle injections are relatively low on the pain scale. We use invisible needles which also makes the procedure less painful.
Down time?
Recovery time for anti-wrinkle treatments usually takes around 1 hour.
When will I see Results?
This procedure does not work straight away. You will start seeing some changes within 3-7 days, but ultimate results are at 14 days.
This is when we schedule a review in clinic to make sure you are happy with your results. Longevity of results are dependent on each individual, as factors such as metabolism, diet, exercise and sun exposure can have effect how long the results last for.
How long do the results of anti-wrinkle injections last?
Results last anything from three to four months for most people; some people may see effects for up to 5 months. However, this largely depends on a few factors such as metabolism, lifestyle factors, sun exposure, diet, hydration levels, and activity levels.

What is the downtime after anti-wrinkle injections?
There is little to no downtime for anti-wrinkle injections. Some redness and swelling may be present for around 20 minutes after the procedure, but this will go down very quickly. Due to the treatment being injection based there is a chance of bruising, however this is minimal for this procedure. After care such as no makeup, no skin products, and avoiding heat extremities should be followed for 24 hours after procedure.
What areas can be treated with anti-wrinkle injections?
There are multiple areas that we can treat with anti-wrinkle injections. This could be for upper face rejuvenation such as frown lines, crows’ feet and forehead lines, or alternately we can treat the lower face, this could be to help with a gummy smile, a downturned smile, prominent neck bands, and jaw clenching. This can all be discussed with your practitioner in your consultation appointment before you have your antiwrinkle injections.
Is a consultation required before anti-wrinkle treatment?
All anti-wrinkle appointments will need a consultation appointment beforehand, this is to discuss your treatment plan, discuss medical history and for your prescription to be ordered.
