Wrinkle Reduction Treatment

How does the treatment work?

The ageing process causes collagen and elastin production in the skin to reduce, so as we get older these areas of overuse become damaged and the lines become permanent.

Anti-Wrinkle treatment relax the treated muscles, reducing movement, which prevents the creasing of the skin and lessening the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

Treatment will only work on the specific muscles treated, leaving surrounding muscles to function as usual maintaining normal facial expression. The treatment gives a smoother, younger-looking appearance which lasts for 2 to 4 months.

Anti-wrinkle treatment can be combined with Dermal Fillers to further enhance your look.

We always recommend good skin care in combination with Microdermabrasion Facials to keep a youthful look.

Anti-wrinkle treatment is great for treating:

• Prevention of the formation of wrinkles
• Horizontal forehead lines
• Frown lines
• Crow’s feet, wrinkles on the side of the eyes
• Eyebrow lift
• Further areas can be discussed with advanced consultations

Is the treatment safe?

Anti-wrinkle treatment has been used in medical treatments for over 30 years. It was originally used in the treatment of squints, often in children. Since the late 1980′s, Botox has successfully been used for anti-ageing / anti-wrinkle treatments, revolutionising the cosmetic industry. Remarkable results combined with very few risks and no recovery time has made it the world’s most popular non-surgical treatment.

After the treatment

Following the treatment there may be minimal redness, bruising is uncommon, more so for lower facial work.

We recommend that you remain upright for 3-4 hours after your treatment. Clients should not massage or rub the areas afterwards or take vigorous exercise. Most continue with their normal day after treatment without anybody noticing.

Galderma Azzalure® treatments are one of the safest cosmetic procedures available, side effects are rare. There is the possibility, however, of the treatment being dispersed into an adjacent muscle which can cause a temporary weakness such as drooping of the upper eyelid. These effects are temporary, lasting a few weeks at most.
