What are anti-wrinkle injections?

Celebrate you with the expertise of THG. For many of our customers, deciding to enhance their appearance doesn’t always mean choosing surgery. Our exciting range of non-surgical face and body treatments is increasingly popular and could be the next step to refreshing your look.

Anti-wrinkle injections are the most popular non-surgical treatment we offer. It’s a simple, non-invasive treatment that can smooth lines for both men and women. Anti-wrinkle injections reduce the activity of the muscles that cause lines to form by temporarily reducing the contractions of those muscles to create a smoothed, rejuvenated appearance.

What are the benefits of anti-wrinkle injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections relax the muscles in your face, which helps your skin to appear fresher and younger. They are a temporary measure which can reduce the effects of ageing by smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. Crow’s feet and frown lines can be diminished to reveal a more youthful, plumper look.

After your anti-wrinkle treatment, it will take between 5 to 14 days for you to see the results, and these will last up to 16 weeks. This is a fast and effective procedure – only around 30 minutes - which is carried out by expert medical aesthetic practitioners. And there is minimal downtime afterwards, so you should be able to go about your day to day activities immediately afterwards.

Are there any risks?

It is important to weigh up the risks involved against the benefits that the treatment can bring – just as with all types of medical aesthetic treatment.

Your medical aesthetic practitioner will talk you through any risks and complications, although possible side effects are usually minimal. They include mild bruising around the site of the injection, you may have a headache which will usually subside within 24 of treatment, and an allergic reaction, although rare, is possible.

Is it right for me?

Anti-wrinkle injections could be right for you if you have concerns regarding signs of ageing. If you would like to reduce the appearance of frown lines on your forehead, or if you have wrinkles around your eyes that you’d like to diminish, anti-wrinkle injections could be the solution. They can help achieve a younger look which boosts your self-confidence.

Through gathering information from you regarding your medical history, your medical aesthetic practitioner will be able to understand whether you are a suitable candidate for anti-wrinkle injections.

Anti-wrinkle Treatment FAQs

More FAQs

What is used in our anti-wrinkle treatments?

Our anti-wrinkle treatments use a natural purified protein produced by the Clostridium Botulinum Bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause lines to form over time. When injected into a muscle, it temporarily blocks the chemical signals that make the muscle contract. Only minute quantities are injected and only the injected muscle is affected. It works by temporarily reducing the contractions of the muscles that cause permanent lines, to create a smoother appearance.

What areas does it work on?

Anti-wrinkle injections are used to treat facial lines caused primarily by facial muscles. These are often the creases that occur between the eyebrows, crow’s feet wrinkles and forehead lines. The appearance of these lines can be dramatically softened with the use of anti-wrinkle treatments. They can also be used in the treatment of excessive sweating, where it is injected into the underarm to stop problem perspiration.

How long does the treatment take?

Anti-wrinkle injections take just a few minutes. You’ll see an improvement in the appearance of your skin within days and the results can last up to 3-5 months. In your consultation, your aesthetician will assess your muscle movement by asking you to frown or smile. This will determine the precise injection site to achieve the best results for you. The anti-wrinkle treatment is then administered by several tiny injections. No anaesthetic is required and you can return to work or normal activities immediately.

Are anti-wrinkle injections safe?

Anti-wrinkle injections have an excellent safety record and have been actively used for over ten years in tens of thousands of patients worldwide. It has US FDA and European approval (including France and Switzerland). It is also now called VISTABEL.

When will I see results?

Usually on day two, although it will take up to 14 days for the full results to be visible.

How long does it last?

Anti-wrinkle injections last for approximately 3-6 months.
