ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS
HOW DO ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS WORK?
Wrinkles and lines are a natural part of ageing that form as a result of continual contraction of facial muscles over time, these help to create different facial expressions like frowning and squinting. Anti-wrinkle injections are procedures where an active ingredient is injected into the treatment area to relax the excessive contractions in the muscles of the face. After a treatment, excess movement and the appearance of unwanted lines are diminished, allowing you to achieve a rejuvenated appearance and your desired outcome.
WHAT IS INVOLVED?
You will receive a thorough face to face assessment and consultation where we discuss your individual concerns and desired outcomes. A precise and skilful injection of a purified protein solution is injected into the specific facial muscle using a very fine needle, with only minor discomfort. Anti-wrinkle Injections approximately 15-20 minutes, however they produce fast and highly pleasing results, relaxing the excessive contraction of muscles and smoothing the visible wrinkles for 3 to 4 months.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS?
