Wrinkles and facial lines result from ageing, muscle activity and your genetic predisposition. In addition, sun exposure, alcohol consumption and smoking can also increase the evidence of wrinkles.

Use of the facial muscles creases the skin when we frown, smile or raise our eyebrows. As we get older, these creases become deeper and more pronounced through constant use.

How do wrinkle reduction treatments work

The product we use is injected and relaxes the muscles under the skin temporarily. The treated muscles then stay relaxed and don’t crease the skin.

WHAT CAN WRINKLE TREATMENT BE USED FOR?

Softening lines in the facial area, i.e. the forehead (horizontal forehead lines); eyes (crows feet); frown lines between the eyebrows; neck area; under eyes; chin. It is also very successful at treating excessive perspiration (hyperhidrosis), which can be a problem for some people.

Who is suitable for treatment?

Subject to initial medical screening, both men and women of any age can benefit from the treatment.

You should NOT have treatment if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.

What happens during the treatment?

A very small amount of product is injected into the muscles in the face using a small needle. Depending on the area being treated, there may be a series of injections.

How long does treatment take?

In most cases, the treatment will take between 10 and 20 minutes for a single area.

Is it painful?

A local anaesthetic is not required. Most people only experience mild discomfort and this can be minimised by the application of a Topical Anaesthetic Cream.

There is sometimes a slight swelling and redness straight after treatment, which settles within a few hours.

When will I notice a difference?

The effect starts to work in about 4-5 days, with the greatest effect being seen after about 2-3 weeks.

How long will the effects last?

3-5 months depending on each person’s response. Repeat treatments have been shown to have a longer lasting effect.

How many times can I have treatment?

Treatment  can be repeated indefinitely.

What happens Pre and Post-Treatment?

You will need to complete a medical questionnaire to ensure there are no reasons why you cannot receive treatment.

After your treatment you will be given an after-care leaflet which tells you what to do in the first few hours after treatment.

You will normally be able to return to your usual daily activities after treatment.

Are there any adverse effects?

In a small number of cases there may be some localised bruising, slight swelling or redness at the site of the injections. This usually disappears within a few hours.

A temporary drooping of the eyelid has also occurred in some patients, but again this soon disappears.

Do the effects of this treatment look artificial?

No. Unlike some surgical procedures, this treatment works on specific muscles. All other muscles and face tissue are unaffected.

TESTIMONIAL, FROM MRS S

The difference it has made is amazing….

I have been having treatment from Helen since 2015 after lines on my forehead, top middle of nose and crows feet were getting worse and had really started to affect how I felt about my appearance. The difference it has made is amazing and the deep lines that I had are near enough gone.

I was worried about it not looking natural or “frozen face” but this has not been the case. I would not use anyone else and cannot recommended it enough”
