Anti-wrinkle injections

Anti-wrinkle or botulinum toxin injections offer a number of benefits, including:

• Reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
• Softening facial expressions
• Improving overall facial appearance
• Boosting self-confidence
• Helps to reduce tension and alleviate pain cause by tooth clenching and grinding
• Facial slimming
• Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating in the underarm area.

It involves a series of small injections into the targeted facial muscles. Our highly trained team will carefully map and tailor your individual treatment, depending on the look you’d like to achieve.

Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to treat a variety of areas of the face, including:

• Forehead Frown lines
• Crow’s feet
• Bunny lines
• Gummy smile
• Chin wrinkles
• Neck bands
• Masseter muscle for those who clench and grind their teeth.

This procedure is very quick, usually taking just 15-20 minutes. It’s relatively painless (just like any injection) so there is no recovery period or downtime – you can get back to your everyday routine straight away.

Most patients see improvements within 4-5 days, with optimal results becoming apparent at around 2-3 weeks. The results usually last 3-4 months.

Anti-wrinkle injections relax facial muscles in order to soften lines caused during expression, while dermal fillers add volume to the skin and face. Both treatments can be used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Anti wrinkle injections are best to treat the upper face, while dermal fillers are more commonly used to treat the mid and lower face.

Botulinum toxin injected into the masseter muscle helps to alleviate pain and tension in this muscle by reducing its effectiveness. This helps in teeth clenching and grinding, and also reduces the bulk of the muscle, causing a slimming effect in the face.

We are also happy to take referrals for this from other dentists.
