What are anti-wrinkle injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections have a muscle-relaxing effect on targeted areas of the face. Once administered, the communication between nerves and muscles is paused, which reduces fine lines and wrinkles and prevents new wrinkles and lines from forming.

Anti-wrinkle injections are one of our most popular treatments.

What can you expect from the anti-wrinkle treatment?

• A full consultation to discuss your treatment goals and assess your suitability for treatment (pregnant and breastfeeding women are not suitable for anti-wrinkle treatment).
• Treatment planning to assess your skin condition and how the ageing process and your lifestyle have impacted your skin. We may recommend anti-wrinkle injections in conjunction with a plumping or firming-based treatment (as anti-wrinkle injections do not replace lost collagen and elastin).
• Administer the filler (a topical numbing cream is applied to numb the treatment sites).
• Aftercare advice before you leave the clinic.

How to prepare for your appointment

If it’s the first time you’re having an injectable aesthetics treatment such as anti-wrinkle injections or dermal fillers, great news. You’re going to love the natural and beautiful results it brings about.

Part of having a successful injectable aesthetics treatment is following the preparatory and aftercare advice below.

What do I do before treatment?

1-2 weeks prior to treatment:

• Avoid medications that thin the blood – these can increase post-treatment bruising. Examples include Vitamin E, Aspirin, Herbal Supplements and Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory such as Ibuprofen.
• Avoid invasive dental procedures a week before your treatment.
• Limit alcohol consumption.

48 hours prior to treatment:

• Get plenty of rest.
• Eliminate stress as much as possible to avoid feeling rushed during your procedure.
• Avoid alcohol.
• Avoid strenuous exercise.

The day of your procedure:

• Please do not wear make-up to your appointment. If you don’t have time to remove your make-up, we are happy to do this for you.
• Eat a light meal before coming in for your treatment.

What to expect

Your practitioner will mark out the area where the fillers/anti-wrinkle muscle relaxant will be injected. A numbing cream is used to ensure you are comfortable when the injectables are used.

Aftercare

After your appointment, please observe the following aftercare advice:

• Avoid heat-inducing activities such as saunas and strenuous exercise.
• Do not apply pressure to the area for the first 24 hours.
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours.
• Avoid high-potency cosmeceutical products such as vitamin C, retinol and AHAs for 24 hours.
• Try to limit touching your face.

Each treatment involves more specific and personalised aftercare guidance. This will be provided to you based on factors such as your lifestyle, genetics, age, and treatment type.
