Treatments Reducing Appearance of Wrinkles

Cosmetic treatments are available that can modify the appearance of forehead frown lines, wrinkles around the eyes and nose, or with the appearance of a smile. They can also be used to address the neckline.

After treatment, untreated facial muscles contract normally, allowing other facial expression to be unaffected. The results are not immediate as it will take 3-4 days to see the first effects, and up to 7-10 days to see the final result. Most results last 3 -4 months, requiring a touch up BEFORE the previous dose has worn off completely.

If dynamic wrinkles (these occur when we smile, laugh or frown) are present, muscle relaxation can smooth these out. However, this treatment will not improve the more common 'static' wrinkles that are unrelated to facial muscle contraction.

Prices will be discussed at the consultation, as they vary according to each individual's needs.
