Anti wrinkle injections
As we age, changes occur at different rates to our upper, mid and lower face. In the upper face, ‘dynamic’ lines appear in the forehead and around the eyes when we smile or frown. These lines appear because various muscles contract to form different facial expressions. Over time the lines get deeper, even when the face is relaxed.
You can soften these dynamic lines with a non-surgical treatment: anti-wrinkle injections.
Anti-wrinkle injections relax the muscles that cause wrinkles, helping to refresh your facial appearance without affecting your normal facial expressions. Results typically last 3-4 months.
Anti-wrinkle injections are a quick, simple, non-surgical procedure. During treatment, a small amount is injected into specific facial muscles with a very fine needle. This usually takes 10-15 minutes; no anaesthetic is needed, and you can return to your normal daily activities straight after. Results are typically visible within 2-3 days, with full results taking up to 10-14 days to appear. The effects gradually fade over time, and with regular treatments, results may last longer.
Anti-wrinkle injections are a prescription treatment for frown lines and crow’s feet around the eyes, and like any medical treatment, carry both risks and benefits. Ask Dr Lofts or our nursing team whether this treatment is right for you.
