These anti-wrinkle injections are a non invasive facial rejuvenation treatment which have become more popular than most cosmetic surgery procedures.

Prevent And Maintain.
Anti-wrinkle injections subtly reduce muscle movement, doing away with unwanted wrinkles and preventing the creation of more static lines on the face. By stopping the scrunching of the outer layers of your skin, you’re ensuring the longevity of your skin into the future. Anti-wrinkle injections work by smoothing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. The injection prevents the muscle contractions that cause deep lines that burrow into the skin. Subtlety is key – anti-wrinkle injections aren’t about changing the face, they are about making you look as refreshed as possible. The most common areas for treatment include forehead lines, crows feet and frown lines - however there are multiple other applications such as reducing a gummy smile, reducing the roundness of your jaw, even preventing teeth grinding and excessive sweating.
Botulinum Toxin is a naturally occurring pure neurotoxin protein which helps our muscles to relax. As we get older our skin looses elasticity and the frequent contraction of our facial muscles can create folds leaving our faces with expression lines and wrinkles. Botulinum Toxin (Botox) softens our lines by relaxing our underlying muscles preventing new lines forming in the areas that have been treated. These anti-wrinkle injections smooths our skin and gives us back a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. The results last anything from 3-5 months. Both woman and Men are now seeing that these anti-wrinkle injections are a way of reversing the signs of ageing. At Facial Aesthetics London be rest assured you are in the hands of specialists in this field. All treatments are tailored to the individual and personal experiences may vary.
