Wrinkle Reduction
We can provide a service to consult and treat lines and wrinkles
Overall attainment of wrinkle reduction is achieved by:
· Relaxing the overlying skin and allowing a degree of natural 'replenishment' of the underlying supportive tissues with time ( >1 yr)
· Encouraging, by its muscle blocking action, the learning of modified (less deleterious) facial expression for the future
· Delaying the otherwise natural deterioration of lines/wrinkles with increasing age.
Treatment areas offered:
· Frown lines - (Glabellar region)
· Horizontal forehead lines
· Periorbital laughter lines (crow's feet).
Gummy smile/massester reduction/under eyes/ peri-oral lines
Due to the need to balance the relaxation of opposing facial muscle action, in some people/skin types treatment of horizontal forehead lines alone is not recommended without the glabellar region also being treated at the same time.
General points:
Results may be obtained from 4-14 days after the first treatment. Frown lines will look more relaxed and softened. We aim to provide natural looking treatments. As the effect is developing the muscles may relax at different rates but by 2 weeks this has usually evened out e.g. you may be able to raise one eyebrow higher than the other until the full effect is achieved.
· Most people find the injections cause only mild discomfort
· Immediately after injection there may be mild swelling which usually subsides in 48 hrs
· Side effects are rare. Occasionally temporary drooping of the eyelid can occur. This may last a few weeks but can be treated in the interim with special eye drops .
· Individuals may rarely develop antibodies or allergies to any medicines used, experience watery eyes or double vision
· Treatment is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
· Make-up in the specific area will need to be removed prior to treatment and, when possible, a pre-treatment photo taken for later comparison
· A consent form will need to be signed prior to treatment
Frequency of treatment:
Results usually last for between 3 and 6 months initially. After that, you may be ready for a follow-up treatment. With repeated treatments, performed before the full effect has worn off, most people will find that the results will last longer over time. Duration of results will depend on your facial expressions.
