Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Which type of injectable is used depends on which facial feature you would like to enhance and on your suitability for that injectable. At your Free Consultation we will determine which treatment best suits your aims, objectives, and personal characteristics. 

Possible treatment areas: 

• Frown Lines 
• Crows Feet 
• Bunny Lines
• Chin Crease
• Neck Lines 
• Forehead Lines
• Glabellar Lines 
• Eyebrow Lift 
• Upper Lip Lines 
• Marionette Lines

The injections themselves are relatively painless. However, the most common side effects are tenderness and mild bruising around the injected areas.

Should you have any concerns after your treatment, our beauty expert Shenaz Sharrif will be happy to conduct a telephone consultation with you.

The most common minor side effects are tenderness and mild bruising around the injected areas.

Very rarely some patients may experience headaches, drooping eyelids, or muscle weakness. These reactions usually disappear after 72 hours.

In general, it takes 7-10 days for the treatment to take full effect.

Treatments that use botulinum toxin (e.g. Botox®) usually last 3-6 months, while treatments that use hyaluronic acid (e.g. Juvederm®) usually last 6-9 months.

How long the results last for depends on the number of previous treatments, the treatment areas, and your individual characteristics.

Initial Free Consultation

When you first enquire about Anti-Wrinkle Injections at our clinic, you will be offered a free consultation with Shenaz Shariff. This consultation takes approximately 15-20 minutes, during which time she will discuss your needs and recommend if Anti-Wrinkle Injections is the right treatment program to achieve your desired results.

All in-clinic sessions are held in a private 1-on-1 setting with Shenaz Shariff.

The treatment session takes approximately 30-60 minutes. You will be able to lay down and relax whilst Shenaz will talk you through the process and use the Anti-Wrinkle Injections to treat your skin area.

There is no specific age at which you should start the treatments – All people age differently and feel differently about how they look. In general, we find that people start the treatments for the following reasons:

20s – To prevent wrinkles and fine lines from occurring.
30s – To prolong the youthful look as wrinkles and fine lines start to appear.
40s – To tackle wrinkles and fine lines before they are deeply imprinted.
50+ – To improve the appearance of deeper wrinkles and fine lines.

In the first 24 hours post-procedure, please try to adhere to the following guidelines:

• Clean your face with a gentle cleanser and warm water.
• Try not to wear makeup.
• Use creams with antioxidants and hyaluronic acid to reduce irritation and hydrate the skin.
• Avoid active skincare products which contain: Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Beta Hydroxy Acids, Retinol (Vitamin A), and Vitamin C (in low pH formula). Continue to do so for 3 days post treatment.
• Do not drink excessive alcohol.
• Don’t go swimming or to saunas.
• Avoid strenuous exercise.
• Avoid direct sunlight. If you absolutely must be outside, be cautious and wear a shaded hat.
• Try to avoid lying face down.
• Don’t take Ibuprofen and continue not to for two weeks after the treatment.
