Anti Wrinkle Injections
Anti–wrinkle injections are a powerful non-surgical treatment that smooths dynamic wrinkles and unwanted lines, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Most people notice a difference after three days with optimum results visible at two weeks. Results typically last for three to four months and regular treatments will help to maintain results.
Prior to your first treatment, our doctor will consult with you to assess your suitability for anti-wrinkle injections and discuss any concerns or questions you may have. The procedure involves a small amount of the prescribed product being administered into the selected facial muscle/s using a very fine needle. The injections may sting for a few seconds, but no anaesthetic is required. As the product takes effect you may notice a change in muscle movement and a sensation of stiffness may occur.
