How do anti-wrinkle injections work?
Anti-wrinkle injections are a non-invasive procedure. A small injection is administered to facial muscles to weaken the muscle and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines.
The injections work by blocking nerve signals to the muscles and temporarily weakens the muscle responsible for developing facial expression lines. Therefore reducing and improving the appearance of lines and wrinkles and preventing future lines from forming. The more treatments you have, the longer the effects will last and the more existing lines will fade. This helps to slow the ageing process, maintaining your youthfulness for longer. It is a safe and painless procedure which leaves you feeling revitalised and refreshed.
Do anti-wrinkle injections hurt?
Botulinum Toxin is injected using a fine needle. It is generally not painful and most people will only experience minor discomfort. Some people compare the sensation to plucking eyebrows.
If you find your are very sensitive to the pain, numbing cream can be used.
How long do anti-wrinkle injections last?
The benefits of the treatment usually last between 3 to 6 months. Results will vary depending on your individual response.

What to expect after treatment
You will start to see an improvement within 2-3 days following treatment, having a full effect at around day 12.
Over this time, you will notice a decrease in muscle movement in the treated area – in turn, reducing the line formation in the area.
You may require a follow up appointment at 2 weeks to review the results of the treatment and see if you require any adjustments. Dose adjustments can be made at this appointment to correct asymmetry or to treat muscles that have not relaxed adequately with the initial dose.
This is covered in the original cost.
The best use of anti-wrinkle treatment is not to let it fully wear off. By doing this you are never allowing the treated muscle to return back to full movement and contraction. When you begin to see muscle movement returning, this is when you should think about having further treatment to ensure you get the most from the desired results.
Aftercare
Please ensure that the following aftercare instructions are fully adhered to, to avoid adverse reactions.
It is recommended to use the muscle excessively for the 1st hour following treatment
“Botox binds to receptors on nerve cells to relax muscles, and it is possible that this exercise speeds this binding process,”
You should remain in an upright position for 4 hours following treatment to limit the spread of substance at the injection site.
Use a gentle cleanse and water to clean the face for the following 72hours. Gently dry the treated area. Always make sure the hands are clean before touching the treated area.
Ensure you keep well hydrated following treatment and use creams which hydrate the skin and aid skin healing. Serum antioxidants can help soothe skin and contain properties that promote skin healing.
To ensure a proper healing environment following treatment, it is advisable to avoid the following:
For up to 24hrs:
- Alcohol consumption
- Applying make-up
- Touching or rubbing the treated area
- Strenuous exercise or activity. Sweating and gym environments may increase harmful bacteria and may cause adverse reactions.
For at least 3 days post treatment:
Do not use any Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Beta Hydroxy Acids, Retinol (vitamin A), Vitamin C (in a low pH formula) or anything perceived as ‘active’ skincare.
