Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Used to Treat:
FOREHEAD
Forehead lines are horizontal lines which can be caused by a number of factors, including repeated expressive movements, features of ageing including loss of collagen and elastin. They often begin to appear in our 30s and become more prominent with age.
Treatment Areas Explained
FROWN LINES
Frown lines are vertical lines or creases caused by repeated movement or ‘ furrowing’ of the brows made in facial expressions such as concentration. Like other lines and wrinkles, they become more pronounced with age due to loss of collagen and elastin.
Anti-Wrinkle or Botox as it is more commonly known, is a popular medical aesthetic treatment used for cosmetic purposes. It has a high safety rating, which is why many people turn to botox to relax facial muscles and help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The medical name for Botox is BotulinumToxin A, specifically classified as a neuromodulator. The word toxin may seem frightening, but cosmetic doses of Botox are very small, and it's benefits are nothing short of tremendous.
Although Botox is popular for its treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, patients can benefit from its many non-cosmetic uses, like injections to prevent hyperhidrosis, profuse sweating.

CROWS FEET
Crow’s feet wrinkles are small lines radiating out from the outer corners of the eyes. They are caused by repeated movements such as smiling. Factors such as loss of collagen and elastin in the skin through ageing will cause these to become more pronounced.
BROW LIFT
Heavy brows can be genetic, or caused by loss of collagen and elastin as part of the ageing process. The looser skin can cause the area to look tired and the effect of eyeliner or eyeshadow can be lost. We can use treatments to counteract a drooping brow and restore a more lifted, balanced appearance.
GUMMY SMILE
Gummy smile refers to a condition where excess gum tissue can be seen above the top teeth when smiling, sometimes making the teeth appear smaller. Often genetic, it can be caused by a number of factors including irregularities in teeth eruption, enlarged gums, a shorter upper lip or
hyperactive upper lip.
TEETH GRINDING
Teeth grinding and jaw clenching is a common problem that usually happens during sleep, while concentrating or when stressed. Most people are unaware that they are grinding their teeth or clenching their jaw, but this can lead to common symptoms including headaches, ear pain, pain and stiffness in the jaw area, wearing of the teeth, and increased tooth sensitivity. Frequent grinding and clenching results in the enlargement of the masseter muscles, the main muscles involved in teeth grinding and clenching.
JAW LENGTHENING
A wide or square jaw can often be caused by overactive masseter muscles in the sides of the face. The masseter muscles are the main muscles involved in teeth grinding and clenching. Due to genetics or over clenching, these can enlarge in some people giving the appearance of a wider more masculine jaw. We can use anti wrinkle injections to reduce the width and give a slimmer appearance
PEBBLE CHIN
A pebble chin gives the appearance of a bumpy and uneven skin texture on the chin, this is often exaggerated with certain facial expressions and becomes more noticeable with age as we naturally lose the layer of overlying fat. It is most commonly treated with anti wrinkle injections and sometimes dermal filler if needed.
SMOKERS LINES
Lip lines, often referred to as ‘smoker’s lines’, lip lines are small vertical lines appearing above and below the lip. They have many causes, such as sun damage, smoking, loss of collagen and elastin, gravity, loss of skin’s hydration and repeated mouth movements. As with other types of lines and wrinkles, they can worsen as the ageing process continues.
HYPERHIDROSIS
Also known as 'Underarm Sweating', Hyperhidrosis is a common condition in which a person sweats excessively. The sweating may affect the whole body but come commonly its the underarm area whic is most affected. This can be reduced with intricately placed anti-wrinkle product, which blocks the nerves signals that instruct the sweat glands to become active.
​
NECK LIFT
A non-surgical neck lift is an anti-wrinkle treatment that relaxes the neck muscles, creating a longer, thinner looking neck. When this product is injected in to the vertical bands of the neck, it relaxes the dynamic muscles, making them less prominent.
BUM LIFT
Anti-wrinkle treatments can be used to'lift the bum'. The toxin is injected below the buttocks to relax the “pull down” muscles and allow the “pull up” muscles to work more effectively.
BUNNY LINES
Bunny lines refer to the small, slightly diagonal wrinkles on both sides of the nose, right below the bridge, that appear when you wrinkle your nose. Like many types of facial wrinkles, bunny lines are caused by repeating certain facial expressions like, smiling, laughing, or squinting our eyes. Bunny lines are a result of flexion in the nasalis muscle, which functions to flare or close the nostrils. As we age, collagen and elastin in our skin begins to decline, and the face doesn't bounce back from expressions the same way it used to
