Wrinkle Reduction Injections
at Larkham Facial Clinic
by our qualified healthcare professionals.
How do the injections work?
The ageing process causes collagen and elastin production in the skin to reduce, so as we get older these areas of overuse become damaged and the lines become permanent.
Anti-Wrinkle injections relax the injected muscles, reducing movement, which prevents the creasing of the skin, lessening the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Treatment will only work on the specific muscles injected, leaving surrounding muscles to function as usual maintaining normal facial expression. Treatment gives a smoother, younger-looking appearance which lasts for 2 to 4 months.
Anti-wrinkle injections can be combined with Dermal Fillers to further enhance your look.
We always recommend good skin care in combination with Microdermabrasion Facials to keep a youthful look.
Injections are great for treating:
Prevention of the formation of wrinkles
Horizontal forehead lines
Frown lines
Crow’s feet, wrinkles on the side of the eyes
Eyebrow lift
Further areas can be discussed with advanced consultations
Are the Injections safe?
Anti-wrinkle injections have been used in medical treatments for over 30 years. It was originally used in the treatment of squints, often in children. Since the late 1980′s, Botox has successfully been used for anti-ageing / anti-wrinkle treatments, revolutionising the cosmetic industry. Remarkable results combined with very few risks and no recovery time has made it the world’s most popular non-surgical treatment.
After injection treatment
Following the treatment there may be minimal redness, bruising is uncommon, more so for lower facial work.
We recommend that you remain upright for 3-4 hours after your treatment. Clients should not massage or rub the areas afterwards or take vigorous exercise. Most continue with their normal day after treatment without anybody noticing.
Allergan’s Botox® and Galderma Azzalure® injections are one of the safest cosmetic procedures available, side effects are rare. There is the possibility, however, of the treatment being dispersed into an adjacent muscle which can cause a temporary weakness such as drooping of the upper eyelid. These effects are temporary, lasting a few weeks at most.
