In the Aesthetic field, Anti-Wrinkle Injections are used to treat:

• Horizontal Forehead Lines.
• Frown Lines – 11 lines between the eyebrows.
• Crow’s Feet – Around the eyes.
• Bunny Lines – Scrunch lines on the nose.

As Anti-Wrinkle Injections are prescriptive medications, they are administered by medical professionals. Careful consideration and medical clearance will be undertaken before treatment. The best advice is to visit a highly reputable clinic with highly experienced medical professionals, renowned for good practice and subtle results, such as Therapie Clinic.

Anti-Wrinkle treatments relax muscles that are active when our faces are animated. These lines are known as dynamic lines and are caused by frowning, smiling and other daily facial expressions. Over time, dynamic lines cause the loss in collagen in the skin, deepening the lines and turning them into what’s known as static lines. Anti-Wrinkle treatments do not work on static lines, therefore prevention is the key.

You will start to notice your results appear 5-7 days post treatment and the full effect should appear after 2 weeks.

This will be based on personal preference. Our medical professionals can advise further based on your preference.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections have minimal pain, they are administered with very fine needles and take only a few seconds to undertake. It will be a tiny prick of a needle for a moment, most patients tolerate it very well.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections have a very strong safety profile and have been used for over 30 years in the Aesthetic field with millions of treatments globally every year. They are safe and effective when administered by a highly trained medical doctor who has a high level of expertise in this field.

Most side effects associated with these treatments are mild and transient, they include:

Mild swelling at the injection site.
Mild tenderness and bruising at or around the injection site.
Mild headache.
A mild feeling of heaviness.

The longevity of treatment can be affected by your metabolism, bulk muscle and lifestyle. Each patient responds differently, but on average anti-wrinkle injections last between 2 and 4 months before the full relaxing effect on the muscle wears off completely.

Anti-wrinkle results wear off gradually, the full relaxation result will last out to 6 weeks post-treatment, after which a tiny bit of movement slowly creeps back in; however muscles are not back to full functionality until the 2 to 4 month mark when re-treatment is recommended.

You can fly 48 hours after having Anti-Wrinkle Injections carried out.
