Anti Wrinkle Injections in London

Forehead wrinkles appear as horizontal lines on the forehead which are more prominent when you raise your eyebrows. This movement sometimes creates a tired and stressed appearance.

To treat these, small injections are given on the forehead to prevent lines developing and deepening as well as softening existing lines specially when combined with frown area.

Frown lines can be seen as vertical lines between and above your eye brow that are the result from frowning, excessive expressions and being over exposed to the sun. Similar to forehead lines, as we age these frown lines become more prominent often creating an angry, stressed or tired appearance.

These lines are caused by contraction of the glabellar muscles- namely the process, corrugators and depressor supercilli, to treat these, small injections are given to the involved muscles in order to restrict movement causing the lines and wrinkles as well as preventing them from getting deeper.

Crow’s feet are found in the outer corner of the eyes formed by contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle around the eyes. They appear more prominent when smiling or laughing. They occur as the skin becomes less elastic with age, combined with excessive sun exposure.

Small injections at either side of the eyes can treat crow’s feet wrinkles by targeting the relevant muscle.

Large cheek muscles can give rise to a square or bulky looking jaw. In some people, treating the masseter muscle with Anti-Wrinkle Treatment selectively weakens this muscle over time leading to an overall reduction in the size of this muscle. It can also be helpful for people who grind their teeth.

Unlike other Botox treatments, results take longer to appear with the jawline. Maximum results are usually seen between 4-6 weeks and will typically last  4-6 months.

Anti-wrinkle products can be used to achieve an eyebrow raise or “Chemical Brow Lift”

By injected just under the eyebrow into the orbicularis oculi muscle, relaxing it and causing unopposed pull from the muscles lifting up the eyebrows.

These lines are created by contraction of the ‘upside down horseshoe muscle’ called the nasalis. The lines created can be static (seen at rest) or active (seen on movements such as laughing or talking).

These lines can be relaxed by injecting Anti-Wrinkle product into each side of the nose.

Gummy smile is when some people smile, their upper lip elevates too far above their upper teeth exposing extra gum tissue which is caused by the elevation of the upper lip by muscles called the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi.

Small dosages of Anti-Wrinkle product can simply be injected into the top half of the muscle to relax it allowing it to slightly drop.

The mentalis muscle can be hyperactive or too large resulting in short lines that mar the skin of the chin, creating a ‘dimpled/pebblestone’ appearance. the chin can be treated to give a less bulky and dimpled appearance

All of these can be corrected with Anti-Wrinkle product to the chin muscle.

Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating) is a common problem affecting the armpits, hands and feet, and a major cause if distress and anxiety. It’s normal to sweat if you get hot or do exercise, but you may be sweating excessively if you’re sweating when your body doesn’t need to cool down. Excessive sweating can happen for no obvious reason, because of another condition you may have or as a side effect of medication you’re taking.

Anti-Wrinkle injections can help relieve sweating in all these areas through blocking nerve control of sweating. This can last between 6-8 months.
