Anti Wrinkle Injections

What are Anti Wrinkle Injections?

Botox or Botulinum Toxin is an anaerobic bacteria found in soil which is purified for clinical and cosmetic uses. There are many types of Botulinum Toxins, however the most commonly used for clinical and cosmetic purposes is Botulinum Toxin type A.

How does it work?

By injection small amounts into the muscle, the Botox causes a temporary muscle paralysis which prevents muscles contracting, in which cause wrinkles and lines. This paralysis and prevention of muscle contraction creates a smoother, wrinkle free effect.

After Care:

You should see your full effects from the treatment at around 2 weeks, so please be patient! The results last between 4 to 6 months.

Please avoid any heavy exercise and excessive alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours. It is also important to remain upright for at least three hours after tour treatment.

Please exercise the muscles in the affected area, but avoid touching the treated area as this can affect the placement of the Botox and increase risk of infection
