Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-Wrinkle Injections use toxin (either Botox or Nuceiva) to smooth out ‘in motion’ wrinkles. The treatment temporarily relaxes the muscle, giving a smoother, fresher, brighter and more relaxed appearance.

This is a perfect treatment for frown lines or dynamic wrinkles which treats lines which appear when you frown, smile or laugh. Once the lines have set and show when your face is motionless, we would recommend a combination of both Anti-Wrinkle Injections and Dermal Fillers. Read more

Anti-Wrinkle Injections Aren't Just For Wrinkles

What are anti-wrinkle injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections involve using small quantities of a toxin. These are injected into specific muscles using an ultra-fine needle to immobilise the muscle. This stops the muscles from contracting, while the rest of the face continues to move. This creates a natural softening to your dynamic lines and wrinkles giving you a natural, fresh, and rejuvenated appearance.

We do not believe in giving our patients a ‘frozen’ expression, and strive for natural results. The toxins we use are perfectly safe and have been used on millions of patients worldwide, for over 20 years.  When administered correctly, Anti-Wrinkle Injections will last for 3 – 4 months.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections are not painful as an ultrafine needles are used. However, it can be mildly uncomfortable. Cold packs are used to minimise pain and improve comfort.

I have been coming to Health &. Aesthetics for several years. For anyone who wants to slow down the agent process, and have their skin looking the best it can be, I cannot recommend Dr Taylor and her aestheticians highly enough. They are extremely knowledgeable, professional and personable. The hydrofacials leave my skin looking and feeling fantastic. It’s so well worth it.

FAQs

Are anti-wrinkle injections safe?

Yes. Doctors have been administering Anti-Wrinkle Injections for over twenty years, on thousands of patients, to treat many neurological and eye disorders, as well as to reduce wrinkles.

Health & Aesthetics uses Allergan and Evolus branded toxins, the most advanced products on the market.

How many treatments will I need?

It depends how many areas you wish to treat and this can be discussed in your consultation with the Doctor. Re-treatment is recommended every 3-4 months to continue optimal results.

What is the aftercare?

No exercise is recommended for 24 hours.

To read the full aftercare, please read our Anti-Wrinkle Aftercare.

How can anti-wrinkle injections work for migraine?

Anti-Wrinkle Injections are a type of toxin, which is a muscle relaxant. As such, it is also used on the treatment of a number of conditions related to overactive muscles and muscle spams.

When used for migraines, Anti-Wrinkle injections relaxes the muscles that would otherwise be prone or sensitive to pain. It’s also thought that this toxin interferes with the pain signals, dulling the effect of the headache. The application of toxin specifically for migraines will follow a medical protocol, making sure the injections are administrated in all the right places to ensure effectiveness.

What else can I do with this treatment?

To get ultimate results, Dr Tailor believes in a combination of fillers and anti-wrinkle injections to help lift the face while relaxing muscles.

Anti-wrinkle injections works well with our laser treatments to give a further lifting effect, improve skin quality and promote collagen formation in the dermis.

We recommend use a cosmeceutical skincare range, such as ZO Skin Health, which will stimulate your skin to perform how it should, repair the skin and treat a slew of issues such as Acne, Rosacea, Lines and Wrinkles, Pigmentation and Sun Damage.

Is the treatment painful?

Anti-wrinkle injections involves a muscle relaxant being injected into a muscle in a certain area of the face. While any treatment involving injections will provide a certain level of discomfort, the needles used for these treatments are ultra-fine and so the pain is usually minimal. Topical anaesthetic creams or cold packs can also be used to minimise any pain, but in general, the treatment should not be too uncomfortable. And of course, you can always discuss any concerns or discomfort with the administrating doctor, so whether you are feeling any pain, or you are just afraid of needles, we will do our ultimate best to make sure you are comfortable with the treatment.

How long is the treatment?

Treatment does not take very long – usually about twenty minutes. The first effects will start to appear around three days later, with optimum results achieved after two weeks.

How long do anti-wrinkle injections last?

The effects of the treatment last about three to four months. Clinical studies have indicated that treatments last longer over time, meaning you should require fewer injections in the future. However, this varies from patient to patient.

What is a Nefertiti lift?

The Nefertiti Lift was named and inspired by the elegant swan-like neck of the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti. In some patients early jowl formation is due to overactivity of the neck muscle (called the platysma), which pulls down the skin of the jawline causing jowls to form. The Nefertiti lift uses carefully positioned injections to lift the corners of the mouth, redefine the jawline and combat sagging/jowls.

Do your anti wrinkle injections use Botox?

At Health and Aesthetics we offer a choice of FDA approved Botox (Allergan Aesthetics) and Nuceiva (Evolus) a slightly purer form of botulinum toxin which many patients find lasts longer than Botox.
