ANTI WRINKLE INJECTIONS

Anti Wrinkle Injections

WHAT ARE ANTI AGEING INJECTABLES?

Expression lines such as crow’s feet and frown lines on the forehead and between the brows are caused by overactive muscle movements repeatedly creasing the skin. Treatment of these wrinkles often includes anti-wrinkle injections which involves the use of a purified protein produced by a type of bacterium. A minimal amount of the protein is injected into selected muscles, temporarily reducing the contractions that cause the permanent frown lines.

ANTI WRINKLE INJECTION PROCEDURE

Usually, the procedure takes ten to twenty minutes to carry out and the discomfort is minimal as very fine needles are used. Also, no recovery time is involved and the results are noticed within 3 – 4 days.

The skin around the treated area will look smoother and less wrinkled. The upper third of the face is where the best results are obtained; the crow’s feet (around the eyes), the wrinkles and the frown lines between the brows and on the forehead. Due to the results of the treatment, many patients report that they are feeling more relaxed as frowning reduces. However, the results are not permanent; it is normal procedure to repeat the treatment every 3 – 4 months to maintain and build on the results.

"The clinic was very friendly and I received a warm welcome. It was spotlessly clean and pleasant. I was very impressed with Dr Kat he made me feel very at ease.

"My experience with CC Kat Aesthetics has been more than I hoped for, the results of my anti-wrinkle injections and fillers were great and the staff ( all of them) are lovely and very helpful and put my mind at rest with any problem I anticipated. The aftercare is constant, which I found important and the facials are a delight."

"After much research, I chose this clinic because of the knowledgable and professional attitude of the staff when I'd telephoned to discuss the treatment. My experience over a course of three anti-wrinkle injection treatments has been excellent. Natasha, in particular, has been wonderful and I can't recommend her highly enough."
