The best time to consider treatment is when you begin to notice dynamic lines and wrinkles appearing. This is when they appear on movement only. This can vary from person to person, some as young as early twenties depending on a variety of factors such as genetics, stress, smoking, sun exposure etc. The younger you start treatment, the better the results. Once the lines are deep and appear at rest, anti-wrinkle injections will only soften them and this is when other treatments such as dermal fillers may be required. It is therefore important to address these lines early on instead of waiting for them to progress and appear at rest. We strongly advise anti-wrinkle injections for prevention– to stop these lines and wrinkles forming. Remember, prevention is better than cure.

Millions of people worldwide have been safely using botulinum toxin over the last 30 years for cosmetic purposes. It is a safe treatment, provided it is carried out by an experienced medical professional. 

This will be discussed in detail in your appointment. Please take note of the below:

- Avoid excessive alcohol 24 hours pre and post treatment

Anti-wrinkle injections are suitable for individuals who are looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly those on the forehead and around the eyes. However, it is a prerequisite to have a consultation with a medical professional who can assess your individual suitability for the treatment.

When administered by a qualified professional, anti-wrinkle injections are generally considered safe. While complications are rare, discussing any potential risks with your practitioner is important.

The effects of anti-wrinkle injections can last several months, depending on the area treated, lifestyle, and other factors 4 to 6 months is a good rule of thumb, although this can vary from person to person. Regular treatment is recommended to maintain the results.

As with any medical procedure, anti-wrinkle injections can have side effects. These may include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. However, these side effects are generally mild and subside quickly.
