Anti Wrinkle Injections in London

Wrinkles are a normal part of the ageing process, caused by the skin getting thinner and losing elastin. As this happens, wrinkles, fine lines and creases form. 

When the muscles around the face are contracted during muscle movement, dynamic wrinkles like frown lines and crow’s feet appear. Over time, and with repeated use, these lines become deeper, static wrinkles. 

At the CREO Clinic, we use anti-wrinkle injections to prevent static wrinkles developing, helping to maintain a youthful appearance. Contact the CREO Clinic to book a consultation with one of our specialists, and enjoy a refreshed and smoother complexion. 

What are Anti Wrinkle Injections? 

Anti-wrinkle injections are an aesthetic medical treatment to prevent static wrinkles from forming and smooth fine lines that have already formed. The purified proteins in anti wrinkle injections work by preventing the signal between the nerve and the muscle, allowing the facial muscles to relax. 

As a result, anti-wrinkle injectables can prevent new, static wrinkles from developing, and can soften the appearance of established wrinkles caused by facial expressions and other factors.  For these reasons, anti-wrinkle injections are a kind of non surgical facelift.

What To Expect During Anti Wrinkle Injection Procedure

We will discuss your bespoke treatment plan with you prior to the procedure. Your anti wrinkle treatment will consist of a series of small injectable treatments into the muscles around the face. These are designed to help the muscles relax and prevent static wrinkles from appearing. Anti wrinkle injections are usually well tolerated, though patients may feel a short, pinching sensation. 

How Long Does The Procedure Take?

Injectable anti wrinkle treatments are usually short but can vary depending on the number of areas being treated. In general, anti wrinkle injections appointments, including the consultation time, typically take an hour. 

Anti Wrinkle Injection Recovery and Aftercare

After your anti-wrinkle injection treatment, you may have some small bumps at the injection site(s). These usually settle within 30 minutes of treatment. There may also be some mild bruising around the treatment area, though this should gradually subside within a few days. 

Downtime is minimal, and most patients are able to return to daily activities immediately. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol consumption for the first 24 hours after treatment. In addition, you should avoid placing pressure on the treatment area during this time.

When Can You See Anti Wrinkle Injection Results?

Anti wrinkle injections begin to work 3-5 days after treatment. After this, the muscles will soften and relax, improving the appearance of existing fine lines and wrinkles while preventing new ones from developing. 

How Long Do the Effects of the Injections Last?

Anti wrinkle injections should be repeated every three months as most of their effects will have worn off by this time. However, the more frequently you have treatments, the longer results typically last.  

Facial Features Addressed by Anti Wrinkle Injections

Forehead Lines

Forehead lines and wrinkles are a common sign of ageing, caused by the muscles contracting in the area. This can happen when you raise your eyebrows, are concentrating, squinting or frowning. Anti wrinkle injections are commonly used in this area to manage these wrinkles by preventing muscle contraction. 

Crow’s Feet 

Crow’s feet describe the small, fine lines that develop around the side of the eyes. As the skin around the eyes is thinner, it is more susceptible to the signs of ageing. Anti wrinkle injections can be used to promote a more youthful eye area by preventing and alleviating crow’s feet.

Bunny Lines

Bunny lines describe the diagonal and vertical wrinkles on the bridge and sides of the nose. These wrinkles become more evident when smiling or laughing. By relaxing the muscles with anti-wrinkle treatment, bunny lines can be effectively prevented.
