Anti Wrinkle Injections

WHAT IS WRINKLE RELAXING TREATMENT?

Wrinkle Relaxing treatment contains botulinum toxin also known as Botox, which blocks the nerve impulses responsible for muscle contraction by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause lines and creases to appear. 

Botox has been used for a range of non-surgical procedures safely and successfully for over 20 years. We know that pre-mature crow's feet, expression lines and frown lines around the eyes and the forehead can leave us looking a little tired and older than we feel inside.

The procedure will cause a decrease in movement in a specific area, and the manner in which the facial muscles will now inter-relate. This treatment leads to decreased facial tension, while it smooths the skin and stops other existing lines from being exacerbated.
