Anti-wrinkle injections are a popular, evergreen treatment that smooths out dynamic facial lines, blocking the chemical signals which cause your muscles to contract. At The Laser Clinic in Harrow, we use anti-wrinkle injections to treat the lines that develop over time due to repeated facial movements, including frown lines, forehead lines, and laughter lines.
Anti-wrinkle injections can also lift the eyebrow area and correct a gummy smile, along with a growing number of medical applications such as the treatment of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
Book AppointmentDynamic facial lines develop differently in each of us, due to bone structure, genetics, skin type, and facial habits. Anti-wrinkle injections are highly versatile and can be placed in a wide array of areas.
Anti-wrinkle injections temporarily inhibit the signals which tell your muscles to contract. If you have a facial muscle that contracts with too much strength, resulting in the development of lines and wrinkles, anti-wrinkle injections can be carefully placed to reduce contraction in a specific area, relaxing facial expressions and leaving you with a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Anti-wrinkle injections are suitable for most people aged 18 to 65 who want to address dynamic facial lines such as laughter and frown lines. This treatment is not suitable for pregnant or nursing women, or anyone with a neurological disorder. If in doubt, we will discuss this is more detail in your consultation.
Anti-wrinkle injections are highly versatile, able to address a host of facial concerns, including:
You might feel a slight stinging sensation while the Botox is being injected, but many clients tell us the treatment is pain free. If you are concerned about discomfort, we can apply topical numbing cream prior to treatment.
Anti-wrinkle injections can deliver results in as few as 3 days and will certainly show by 14 days. They will continue to be effective for 3 to 4 months, and regular treatments gradually weaken the overactive muscle, making it easier to treat. Many clients find that over time, the interval between treatments lengthens to around 6 months.
At The Laser Clinic we emphasise the importance of consultation, listening carefully and asking questions to understand your concerns and desired outcome. Based on what we learn during consultation, we’ll draw up a personal treatment plan for you.
