Wrinkle Relaxing Injections
What are wrinkle relaxing injections?
A quick yet effective treatment. These injections gently relax the muscles that cause expression lines, giving your skin a smoother, more refreshed look by softening fine lines & wrinkles. A completely natural look can be achieved and is an ideal treatment for the improvement of expression lines, also known as dynamic wrinkles - lines caused by muscle movement.
They can also be used to help concerns such as teeth-grinding or excessive perspiration.
How does it work?
'Botulinum toxin type a' is the drugs name which is better known as its brand name botox. It's a neurotoxin derived from the bacteria clostridium botulinum which temporarily blocks the nerve signal that tells the muscle to contract - it does this by binding to nerve terminals controlling muscle contraction.
The effect of the drug lasts approximately 3 months by which time the muscles have recovered their normal function.
Before Treatment
Wrinkle relaxing injections require a prescription as they are classed as a prescription only medication. This forms part of your initial face-to-face consultation with your medical practitioner who will take a detailed medical history and listen to your specific skin goals to determine a treatment plan suitable for you. Photographs will be taken prior to any treatment to create your own skin journey portfolio.

Treatment & Results
Following facial assessment our practitioner will administer the botox by injection into the appropriate facial muscles. The treatment time is short and you will experience little to no discomfort during your treatment as we use a very thin needle to administer the botox.
It takes a few days before you start to see the effects of botox and up to 2 weeks before you can see the full effects of the treatment with a noticeable reduction in movement and relaxation of dynamic lines - lines caused by muscle movement.
We will offer you a review appointment 2 weeks after your treatment and if necessary, an adjustment to treatment can be done at that time.
