Anti-Wrinkle Treatment London

What is Anti-Wrinkle Treatment?

Botulinum toxin is a drug that is used for anti-wrinkle treatments. It is a hugely popular cosmetic treatment administered all over the world with a wide range of uses. Wrinkles usually appear on our forehead, around our eyes and between the brows.
Botulinum toxin is a neuromuscular blocking drug which stops the transmission of chemical signals that affect the movement of our muscles.
When used on the facial muscles that can cause your face to wrinkles, a smooth flattened appearance shows on your skin, which makes your skin appear young and vibrant.

How does Anti-Wrinkle Treatment Work?

Botulinum toxin primarily stops the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. By doing so, botulinum toxin blocks the signals from the nerves to the muscle. The muscle which Botulinum toxin is injected into can no longer contract. 

The skin overlying the muscle relaxes and soften, which results in the removal or reduction of wrinkles and lines. By preventing facial lines from being made, anti-wrinkle treatment can erase the line whilst also preventing from getting worse.

Botulinum toxin only affects the muscles that it has been injected into. Untreated facial muscles will, therefore, be able to contract normally allowing normal facial expressions to remain unaffected.

Which areas can I get Anti-Wrinkle Treatment for?

Crow’s feet around eyes

Crow’s feet are the wrinkles that appear in the corner of your eyes. These are most prominent when you smile or squint your eyes.

Forehead lines

These are commonly referred to as worry lines. The forehead is the area most prone to this type of wrinkles. These lines are easily removed with anti-wrinkle treatment.

Smokers lines

Despite their name, you don’t need to be a smoker to get smoker lines. These are vertical lines that appear on the upper lips, often as a result of ageing, but can be more pronounced with smokers as they spend more time with their lips puckered around a cigarette.

Chin dimpling

Your genes play a major role in chin dimpling. Other factors that exacerbate the chin dimpling appearance is loss of skin elasticity and skin thickness due to ageing. By injecting the mentalis muscle, the chin dimpling can be easily fixed.

Vertical neck bands

Excessive sun exposure is a common cause of vertical neckbands. As the skin dries, the neck skin begins to sag and forms vertical neckbands. These neck bands can be easily fixed by injecting the platysma muscle of your neck.

Eyebrow lift

This non-surgical procedure improves the appearance of the forehead, the brow and the area around the eyes. This is carried out by raising the soft tissue and skin of the forehead and brow.

The most effective way to extend the effect of anti-wrinkle treatment is to have maintenance or top-up treatments before the effects ware off. Over time, the repeated treatments may re-train the targeted muscles to respond to the anti-wrinkle treatment for longer periods.

Typically, the effects last 3-4 months.
However, this can vary according to your lifestyle and general metabolism. New patients whose muscles have not been relaxed with Botulinum toxin previously might experience the effects wearing off slightly quicker.

The results of treatment are not immediate. It takes 2-5 days for the muscles to begin relaxing, whilst the full effect may take up to two weeks.

Avoid exercise and hot baths immediately after treatment. This should prevent the sweating out of Botulinum toxin.

Also for 48 hours, do not rub or massage the muscles that have been injected with Botulinum toxin as this may increase the possibility of it spreading to the nearby muscles.

Anti-wrinkle treatment is not permanent. The effects typically last for 3-4 months. The effect of anti-wrinkle treatment may increase in time with repeated treatments.

The injected area might swell a little and it is advised not to rub the injected area. Also, these areas should not be massaged or exposed to hot water for at least 24 hours after the procedure.  It is advisable to avoid alcohol for 24 hours after the completion of treatment.

One of the factors that may affect the duration of anti-wrinkle treatment is your metabolism. People of a higher metabolism are likely to break down the Botulinum toxin in anti-wrinkle treatment at a quicker rate.

Also, the facial expressions made during exercise that make your muscles contract may cause the effects to wear off slightly quicker.

This is a common myth associated with anti-wrinkle treatment and has no evidence to support it. Your lines and wrinkles will reappear the same as they were before once the effect of anti-wrinkle treatment wears off.

Anti-Wrinkle treatment is a safe and effective treatment with predictable results when performed by a trained and experienced practitioner. Therefore, when properly administered, anti-wrinkle treatment should not lose your ability to show facial expressions and smile. The frozen appearance of the face occurs when anti-wrinkle treatment is inadequately administered.

When performed by a trained healthcare professional, anti-wrinkle treatment is relatively safe. There are some possible side effects such as swelling, bruising, and pain at the injection sites. Flu-like symptoms can also occur. Most of these side effects are associated with unqualified practitioners.

Many of our patients would describe anti-wrinkle injections to feel similar to an insect bite. Although we normally do not require to administer anaesthesia, we are happy to apply numbing cream upon the patient’s request.
