Anti-Wrinkle Treatments (Injections)

What are Wrinkles?

Wrinkles are folds or creases in the skin that are caused by aging and usually appear on the face, neck, back of hands and other parts of the body exposed to the sun. Wrinkles typically develop over time as a natural part of the aging process. Forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet eye wrinkle, wrinkles on the nose, wrinkles around mouth, all these wrinkles are signs of aging that make one look older than they should. 

As a wrinkle starts to form one's skin will look thinner and less elastic to touch. Most wrinkles tend to be deeper with time, making them more prominent when we smile or frown. To keep your skin healthy and reduce any wrinkle you have now or seek to prevent future wrinkles, there are products tailored specifically for fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skincare.

 

What are Wrinkle Injections?

Wrinkle injections, also known as anti wrinkle injections or wrinkle relaxing injections, are a cosmetic procedure that involves injecting a neurotoxin into the muscles that cause wrinkles. This neurotoxin, most commonly botulinum toxin type A, works by temporarily paralyzing or relaxing the muscles that create wrinkles, leading to a smoother and more youthful appearance.

The most common areas of the face that are treated with wrinkle injections include the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabellar region), and around the eyes (crow's feet). The procedure is relatively quick and minimally invasive, with results typically lasting for several months before needing to be repeated.

Welbeck Life is a clinic in London that offers anti wrinkle injections as one of their services. They may use various brands of botulinum toxin, such as Botox or Dysport, and will typically assess the patient's facial anatomy and goals to determine the most appropriate injection sites and dosage. As with any cosmetic procedure, it is important to consult with a qualified and experienced practitioner before undergoing wrinkle injections.

How long anti wrinkle injections last?

The duration of the effects of anti wrinkle injections, also known as wrinkle relaxing injections, can vary depending on factors such as the dosage, injection site, and individual patient response. In general, the effects of a single treatment can last anywhere from 3-6 months, after which the injections will need to be repeated to maintain the desired results.

At Welbeck Life, a clinic in London that offers anti wrinkle injections, the duration of the effects will depend on various factors, such as the type of botulinum toxin used, the injection technique, and the patient's individual response to the treatment. The practitioner will typically assess the patient's needs and goals and determine the appropriate dosage and injection sites to achieve the desired outcome.

What are side effects of wrinkle injections?

While anti wrinkle injections, also known as wrinkle relaxing injections, are generally safe and well-tolerated, there are some potential side effects to be aware of. These may include:

Mild bruising, redness, or swelling at the injection site: This is a common side effect of injections and usually resolves within a few days.

Headache: Some patients may experience a mild headache after treatment, which should go away on its own.

Temporary drooping or weakness of facial muscles: In rare cases, the botulinum toxin may affect adjacent muscles and cause temporary drooping or weakness in the eyelids, eyebrows, or mouth. This typically resolves within a few weeks.

Allergic reaction: While rare, some patients may experience an allergic reaction to the botulinum toxin, which can cause symptoms such as itching, hives, or difficulty breathing.
