This treatment uses a prescription medicine, to treat fine lines and wrinkles caused by dynamic facial expressions such as laughing, smiling or frowning.They work by blocking signals from nerves to muscles. When the muscles are unable to contract, it results in a smoother and wrinkle-free appearance.
A series of small injections of a wrinkle relaxing drug are placed into specific muscles in or around the area being treated to stop dynamic lines caused by facial expressions from forming. It takes approximately a week for it to activate and relax the interaction between the nerves and the muscles which reduces the severity of muscle movement in the area, thus softening the overlying area of skin, such as the forehead, around the eyes etc.
Wrinkle relaxing injections are one of the most popular treatments with both men and women. They are most suitable for those who are have lines and wrinkles forming on the upper face caused by facial expressions, such as forehead lines, crow's feet, frown lines or bunny lines around the nose. This treatment is a prescription only medicine and your suitability for treatment must be diagnosed and prescribed by a medical prescriber, such as a doctor. For this reason, you will need to have a consultation with our registered nurse clinician to see if this is the right treatment for you and to discuss all the options available to you for treating your aesthetic concerns. If you are not suitable for this treatment, you will be advised on alternatives. If you are pregnant or breast feeding you will not be suitable for wrinkle relaxing treatments.
Although the treatment involves a number of small injections it is not painful as we use a very fine needle most commonly used daily by diabetics to deliver insulin.
The treatment is quite quick and can be carried out in about 60 minutes.
Wrinkle relaxing treatment is non-invasive and does not
involve any recovery time. Very rarely you can get a small bruise at the
injection site, which will usually disappear very quickly. It will take up to a
week for the product to activate and you will notice a reduction in certain
movements over time. We usually call you in to review how well it has worked
after two weeks.
Wrinkle Relaxing Injections are incredibly effective at softening lines and wrinkles caused by facial movement. Skin appears smoother and wrinkle free. Results can last up to six months.
