As skin ages, production of collagen and elastin which give the skin its strength and elasticity reduces. The repetition of skin creasing by our expressions breaks collagen and can create permanent lines.
Anti-Wrinkle injections are an effective, non-surgical muscle relaxant that allow the skin and collagen to repair. The treatment blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can no longer contract which causes the wrinkles to relax and soften, leaving the skin smoother.
Anti-wrinkle injections have been one of the world’s safest and most popular treatments for over 25 years, and has fast become the ultimate non-surgical treatment option. The best part is, Anti-Wrinkle Treatments can treat so much more that what you think. Excessive sweating, migraine headaches and muscle spasms can all be controlled by the treatment.

How many treatments will I need?
The effects of Anti-Wrinkle last approximately 3-4 months. The more Anti-Wrinkle treatments you have, the longer the effects last. If you are regular with topping up your injections (every three months), you will notice that you will be able to start spacing your appointments out to 4-5 months, then 5-6 months. However, this required regular top-ups for at least 12 months time.
Is there any down-time?
For Anti-Wrinkle injections, there is no down-time. The procedure takes approximately 30-45 minutes altogether, including consultation. You can return to work immediately after if you plan on having your treatment in your lunch break.
The only thing you must avoid is exercise for the next 24 - 48 hours post treatment. This is to ensure you do not sweat out any of the product via the pores.
Are there any side effects?
Most side effects are rare, the main one's that are more common include; redness, swelling and bruising. However, these are also quite rare, and fade over a few hours - days.
