Are you considering anti-wrinkle injections for a more youthful and refreshed appearance? anti-wrinkle injections are an incredibly popular anti-aging treatment that can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and creases. It works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles, allowing your skin to look smoother and more youthful. With anti-wrinkle injections, you can easily smooth away wrinkles and look younger, without the need for surgery or downtime.
At our clinic, we offer anti-wrinkle injection treatments that are both safe and effective. Our experienced GMC-registered medical doctors can provide a personalized treatment plan to meet your individual needs and goals. We understand that each patient is unique and will tailor the treatment to achieve the desired results. The effects of anti-wrinkle injections are typically seen within a few days and can last for several months.
At our clinic, we are dedicated to providing the highest level of care and safety to our patients. Our knowledgeable and experienced team understands the importance of proper technique and will ensure that you receive a safe and effective anti-wrinkle injection treatment. We also use only the highest quality products and the latest technologies to provide you with the best possible results.
If you are looking for an effective way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and look younger, anti-wrinkle injections may be the perfect solution for you. Please note that before administering anti-wrinkle injections patients will undergo a consultation with one of our doctors which will include a discussion regarding your aesthetic concerns and goals as well as a full review of your medical history.
The aesthetic benefits of anti-wrinkle injections are:
After injection into the muscle, the product suffuses the nerve terminal and binds thus preventing the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter. Without acetylcholine, muscle activity stops. This focal, or site-specific, paralysis is what smoothes wrinkles and stops spasms. In other words, anti-wrinkle injections work by “paralyzing” the wrinkles away. In addition to interfering with acetylcholine release, the treatment also interferes with the release of pain and inflammatory mediators including substance P and glutamine, which explains why it is used to treat migraine headaches.
Our doctors are highly skilled at this procedure having been practising for many years serving patients in the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and surrounding areas. Each of our doctors have completed extensive professional training and continually update their skills through practical training sessions with our suppliers and at national and international conferences where they share best practice with other leading practitioners.
With an extensive range of treatments offered, anti-wrinkle injections can be delivered alongside many other procedures including dermal fillers, Morpheus8, Ultherapy, and laser treatments. For those concerned with extra weight around their chin then we have great success treating this area with CoolSculpting.
Anti-wrinkle injections are used to treat fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment is administered based on areas of the face and performed by a medical professional. At Berkshire Aesthetics the procedure is performed by either Dr Langdon or Dr Paris, both experts in facial aesthetics. Dr langdon trained in Plastic surgery while Dr Paris is dual qualified as both a dentist and a doctor specialising in facial surgery in the NHS.
Anti-wrinkle injections are used in aesthetics to smooth crow’s feet, forehead furrows, frown lines, lip lines and bunny lines, diminish neck bands, improve the appearance of skin dimpling of the chin, lift the corners of the mouth and correct a gummy smile.
Anti-wrinkle injections are also used to treat a number of medical conditions including blepharospasm, Idiopathic cervical dystonia, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), hemifacial spasm, leakage of urine due to bladder problems associated with spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis.
Anti-wrinkle injections work by blocking the transition of chemical messages sent from the nerve to cause the muscle to contract. Without these messages, the muscle stays in a resting state until the ‘messengers’ recover.
People often request the injections to treat lines and wrinkles. The treatment can be used in the following areas of the face:
Typically patients start having treatment with anti-wrinkle injections once lines and wrinkles begin to appear when the face is at rest and can be used in lower doses at a younger age to prevent lines becoming deep or heavy.
Treatment with anti-wrinkle injections take around 30 minutes.
Some patients may experience a mild stinging sensation form the injection but the discomfort experienced is minimal as a very fine needle is used. No local anaesthetic is required. Any small bumps at the site of injection usually resolve within 30 minutes, with no significant downtime.
Typically, one session is recommended every 3 to 4 months. Over time the treatment will wear off and you will notice movement slowly come back.
Prior to your appointment we ask that patients should do the following:
Anti-wrinkle injections were first approved for use in 1989 and when delivered by an experienced medical professional are very safe.
Anti-wrinkle injections involve no downtime and you can usually return to your normal activities straight away. Any small bumps at the site of injection usually resolve within 30 minutes.
Most side effects of anti-wrinkle injections are usually temporary and restricted to the area of injection. It is important that you only allow registered medical professionals to perform anti-wrinkle injections to ensure that the procedure is performed safely, and any issues can be resolved effectively. Common side effects include, redness, bruising, swelling and headache. Rarely there can be drooping of the eyebrow or eyelid, with possible double vision which is very rare.
The effect of the treatment will begin around three days but take up to 14 days to be fully active.
Do not rub or massage the treated areas for 24 hours. This may help prevent the toxin from spreading to a different area. You can return to your normal activities right after the procedure.
