About Treatment
The anti-wrinkle injection is the ultimate treatment for a wrinkle-free and smooth appearance by minimising facial expressions. Typical areas of treatment include the forehead, the glabella - the area between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet.
Benefits
When certain muscles of the face are temporarily relaxed, it not only prevents the actions that cause wrinkles in the first place, it helps to reduce the appearance of existing wrinkles over time as the muscles begin to shorten when not in use. This provides a brighter, more youthful appearance for people who wish to look their best.

Depending on the total area being treated muscle relaxing injections are performed over a few minutes and with correct post treatment guidelines patients are able to carry on most normal activities. The injections are administered using fine needles and in most cases do not require anaesthesia, however, numbing cream can be used if necessary to provide a more comfortable and pain free treatment.
