Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle treatments are highly versatile and can improve a variety of common facial concerns. The most frequently treated areas include frown lines that form between the eyebrows, which can often give a tired or stressed appearance. Forehead lines and creases can also be smoothed, restoring a more youthful and open look to the upper face.

Crow’s feet — those fine lines radiating from the outer corners of the eyes — respond very well to treatment, widening and brightening the eyes. Other areas could include brow lifting, nose wrinkles, chin dimpling, areas around the mouth and lips. When addressing the lip area, this treatment is often combined with complementary procedures such as skin boosters or regenerative injectables to further improve skin texture.

The most problematic lines are static wrinkles – those lines that remain on the face as fixed creases even when we are not moving our facial muscles. Dynamic wrinkles (those that form when we move our faces) are normal. With time and skin quality degradation, these dynamic lines will form the static ones. Generally, the stronger the muscles (and therefore skin creasing), the earlier problematic wrinkles would appear.

Early treatment can act preventatively by reducing the strength of repetitive movements that eventually cause lines to form. Many patients without deep lines as yet, opt for a customised regime to maintain smooth skin and delay the onset of more permanent creases. Every treatment at Apex Skin Clinic is tailored to your specific needs and each case is carefully assessed to preserve natural expression and individuality.

Anti-wrinkle injections use botulinum toxin – a very safe, well-researched muscle-relaxing product that temporarily reduces the activity of targeted facial muscles. As the muscle relaxes, the skin lying above it can smooth out, reducing the appearance of lines and preventing them from deepening further.

Importantly, this treatment does not affect the rest of your face. You will still be able to move your other non-treated muscles and express yourself. The aim is to soften specific overactive areas while maintaining personality and normal movements. Our team’s expertise lies in achieving this fine balance - helping you look refreshed, not altered

During your consultation at Apex Skin Clinic, we will perform a full assessment of your facial structure, expression patterns, and treatment goals. Depending on the consult type, wWe will can discuss your skin type, extent of history of sun exposuredamage, skincare and any lifestyle factors that may affect treatment outcomes. Together, we will develop a personalised treatment plan designed around your individual needs.

The injection process is quick and straightforward almost painless. In most cases, treatment takes just 15 to 20 minutes. Anaesthetic is not usually required, although and you will may experience just a light brief pinch ing sensations during the procedure. Most Almost all patients find this very tolerable.

Following treatment, there is no downtime required. We advise avoiding heavy physical activity, wearing makeup, or lying flat for the first few hours after your appointment. Many patients return to their normal work or social activities on the same day.

Visible results begin to develop gradually between 2 to 5 3 and 10 days after treatment, with full effects typically seen at the two-week mark. The outcome is a smoother, fresher natural look — the appearance of having had a great rest., rather than looking as though you have had a treatment.

Results from facial line treatment usually last between three and four months. Individual variations occur based on various factors. Regular maintenance is advised and the interval of treatments vary depending on your age, goals, personal wishes. We would advise on this as well. Deeper lines require multiple back-to-back treatments for an effective outcome, at least at the beginning, until the lines are improved. Then maintenance can be at a more eased schedule.
