Anti-wrinkle treatments in London

Anti-wrinkle treatments are a special treatment that people sometimes choose to have to help them look and feel their best.

  • Wrinkle Fighter: Anti wrinkle injections reduce the appearance of wrinkles! It’s a special substance that a doctor or healthcare professional can carefully inject into the skin. It helps reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, making the skin look smoother and younger.
  • Quick and Easy: Getting anti wrinkle injections is a fast and easy process. It doesn’t take much time, and people can go back to their regular activities right after.
  • Temporary Results: The results are temporary, which means they don’t last forever. Just like when a picture fades over time, the effects of anti wrinkle injections gradually go away on their own. But don’t worry, people can have the treatment again if they want to!
  • Boosts Confidence: When people feel good about themselves, it can boost their confidence. Anti wrinkle injections can help people feel more confident by making their skin look smoother and younger.

Before & Afters

Anti Wrinkle Injections Dr Kates Aesthetics

What areas can be treated?

  • Frown lines in between the eyebrows
  • Forehead lines these run horizontally across the forehead
  • Crows feet lines around the eyes
  • The downturned mouth corners
  • The chin to reduce the dimpled appearance and relax the chin muscle
  • To reduce the appearance of a gummy smile so there is less gum on show
  • To reduce the appearance of barcode lines in the top lip area
  • To improve lines in the neck area
  • To reduce excess sweating from the underarms
  • To reduce nostril flaring
  • To elevate the nasal tip in a very subtle way
  • To reduce the appearance of enlarged masseters

This treatment can also be used as a preventative measure. Patients in their late 20’s and early 30’s can benefit from subtle anti wrinkle injections to prevent the facial muscle movements and therefore delay the onset of lines and wrinkles; thereby staying younger-looking for longer.

FAQs

Botulin toxin type A is a naturally occurring bacterial protein.

Prior to injecting any make up will be removed and your skin will be disinfected. Your face and facial muscles will then be examined and assessed to see how they work as this varies between individuals. A fine needle will be used for the injections which typically take around 5 to 10 minutes. You can then return to your normal daily activities. 

It normally takes on average 3 to 5 days to start working and 2 to 3 weeks for the full effects to be seen. If you have deep lines or lines that have been there for a long time they are unlikely to completely disappear with your first treatment. You will find with regular treatments over time that the lines and wrinkles continue to get better and better. 

A treatment would normally be done every 3 to 4 months on average.

The injections are normally painless.

Yes, anti-wrinkle injections can cause bruising. This is because the needle used to inject the medication can break small blood vessels under the skin. The bruising is usually mild and goes away on its own within a few days.

Here are some tips to reduce the risk of bruising from anti-wrinkle injections:

  • Apply a cold compress to the injection site for 20 minutes after the procedure.
  • Avoid taking aspirin or other blood thinners for a few days before and after the procedure.
  • Let your doctor know if you have any bleeding disorders.
Like all medicines there is the possibility of side effects, although most people do not get any. Any reactions are generally minimal, temporary and typically relate to the injection itself.
 
  • There may be slight discomfort as the needle enters the skin
  • There is also the possibility of bruising or bleeding at the injection sites
  • It is also possible that you may get a headache

It is not possible to carry out research to assess whether anti-wrinkle injections are safe during pregnancy. Therefore it is best to avoid having anti-wrinkle injections during pregnancy.

  • For the next hour: Use the muscles as shown around every 15 minutes
  • For at least 4 hours: Following your treatment keep upright and do not bend excessively
  • For the next 12 hours: avoid excessive alcohol and avoid wearing make up
  • For 2 days after treatment: do not rub or massage the treated area. After washing pat skin dry very gently with a soft towel
  • For 2 weeks after treatment: avoid exposure to strong sunlight, very cold temperatures and saunas
  • Do not have any beauty treatment on your face e.g. facials, facial massage
