Anti Wrinkle Injections

Wrinkle relaxing injections are a popular treatment with men and women commonly used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

As we grow older we begin to notice deeper lines in our faces, even when we are not making a particular facial expression. This key sign of ageing is one of the most common areas of treatment which men and women seek out.

Dr Sally uses botulinum injections (BOTOX®) to effectively treat fine-to-medium lines and wrinkles by relaxing these underlying muscles, giving the appearance of softer lines and a fresher more youthful look.

In the cases of treating frown lines, it can result in a softer, less tired or angry expression.

The injections can also be used to treat areas such as crow’s feet, the jawline or an overactive jaw muscle.

Dr Sally may also use her clinical expertise to treat other facial areas in line with your individual needs, to give you the best results. Ultimately, using her ‘less is more approach’ to facial enhancement, the desired result is a healthy, refreshed glow – not to dramatically change the way you look.

Initially, the effect of the injections lasts 3-5 months in the first year of treatment but with repeated treatments the longevity can increase.

BOTOX® injections are considered to be a safe procedure, with minimal risks of complications when carried out by an appropriately trained and qualified practitioner such as Dr Sally Antcliff

FAQs

This treatment will soften dynamic lines on your face, giving a much more relaxed, refreshed appearance whilst keeping a natural look and movement.

The injections are made with an ultra-fine needle and the procedure usually takes about half an hour. Depending on the area treated, results usually last between three and four months as the movement in the muscle comes back over time.

We advise all patients to return for free of charge dose review at 2-3 weeks after their initial treatment to ensure the best results.

Dr Sally’s BOTOX® injections can be used on a wide range of people and are suitable for any skin type.

The active ingredient in these treatments is called botulinum toxin, which is classed as a medicine that can only be prescribed by a doctor or dentist.

Dr Sally will carry out a detailed consultation to ensure that you are suitable for BOTOX®. However, she will not proceed with this procedure on anyone who has previously had an allergic reaction to botulinum toxin type A injections or women who are pregnant or breast feeding.

BOTOX® injections are relatively painless and require no downtime, though for best results, we recommend patients avoid massaging the area that has been treated. We also advise avoiding exercise and alcohol for 24 hours post-treatment.

Patients may experience some mild swelling, possible slight bruising and redness in the treatment area post-injection, however, this should subside within a few days.

Following treatment, patients should be able to resume usual, everyday activities straight away.
