Wrinkle Relaxation.
Botulinum Toxin (Botox) Wrinkle Injections
At Pallant Aesthetics, we provide a range of treatments aimed at minimising the appearance of lines and wrinkles. One of our most popular options is Botulinum Toxin (Botox) treatment. This neurotoxin functions by releasing acetylcholine when injected in small quantities into the affected areas, leading to targeted muscle relaxation. As a result, the skin surface becomes smoother and unwanted lines and wrinkles are reduced.
We understand that each face is unique, and at The Pallant Aesthetic Clinic, we customise every treatment to meet your expectations and help you achieve your desired results.
It’s important to note that the full effects of Botulinum Toxin may take up to two weeks to become fully apparent, but once they do, they typically last for three to four months.
What is Wrinkle Relaxation and How Does it Work?
Botulinum Toxin, also known as Wrinkle Relaxation Injections, is an injectable substance commonly employed by medical professionals for both medical and cosmetic purposes. It aids in diminishing muscle movement. Facial muscles are engaged when we squint or frown. However, repeated facial movements, combined with various environmental and lifestyle factors like ageing, sun exposure, dehydration, and smoking, can gradually lead to a loss of facial volume, contour, and elasticity. The term ‘Botox’ is a trademarked name for the product known as ‘botulinum toxin’ and has become a widely recognised term for anti-wrinkle injections.
At Pallant Aesthetics, we prioritise your comfort and strive to create a relaxed environment during wrinkle relaxation injections. We understand that undergoing such treatments can sometimes be accompanied by apprehension or nervousness. That’s why we make every effort to ensure you feel at ease throughout the process.
You are more than welcome to bring a friend or a companion with you to provide additional support and reassurance during your visit. Your friend can accompany you during the consultation and treatment, making the experience more comfortable and familiar. Our friendly and professional staff will also be readily available to address and concerns or questions you may have.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do wrinkle injections last?
Wrinkle relaxing injections are not permanent. Typically, results will last from 3 to 4 months before requiring a top-up injection. As the muscles gradually regain their functionality, the lines and wrinkles will resurface, necessitating further treatment to sustain the desired outcome.
Are wrinkle relaxation injections safe?
Wrinkle relaxation injections have been used for several decades and a well-established safety record when administered by trained medical professionals. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects. Our trained staff at Pallant Aesthetics will discuss all options with you, and address any concerns you may have.
Can wrinkle relaxation injections be combined with other cosmetic procedures?
Yes, wrinkle relaxation injections can often be combined with other cosmetic treatments to achieve enhanced results. For example, they are commonly used in conjunction with dermal fillers to address both dynamic and static wrinkles. Additionally, wrinkle relaxation injections can complement treatments like chemical peels or laser resurfacing to improve overall skin texture and appearance. We will evaluate your specific needs and goals to determine the most suitable combination of treatments for you.
