Anti-wrinkle Injections
Anti-wrinkle injections are a simple, nonsurgical procedure whereby a natural, purified protein is injected using ultra fine needles into specific facial muscles to relax them. The relaxing of these muscles results in a much smoother, fresher and more youthful appearance. Results are visible in 3-5 days and results last up to 4 months. Regular use can help prevent the signs of ageing.
Anti-wrinkle injections can be used in the treatment of facial ageing, headaches, jaw clenching, facial slimming and excessive sweating.
Made from a natural, purified protein, anti-wrinkle injections have a 30 year safety profile in clinical practice and used effectively in more than 20 million procedures worldwide.
No downtime for recovery is required with anti-wrinkle injections. In fact, you may return to work or normal activity immediately.
Optimal dosing is an important part of your treatment process and will ensure optimal results and lasting effects. Dosing is individualized for each patient, in order to achieve the desired effects.
