Anti Wrinkle Treatments

Recapture the beauty of self-confidence. Beauty with care.

As we age, we may start noticing deepening lines and wrinkles, which can be particularly pronounced around areas of high facial muscle activity, such as the forehead, frown lines and crow’s feet. Many patients wish to reduce the appearance of these lines and prevent them from permanently setting into the skin.

At Clinica we carefully use muscle relaxing injections to reduce the wrinkles and reveal smoother, younger and better-looking skin. Most of our patients choose to have the treatments regularly as a preventative anti-ageing measure. The place, depth and dose of the injections is precisely tailored for every individual patient to achieve natural-looking results.

Botulinum toxin, which is used in anti-wrinkle injections is a prescription drug and it must be prescribed and administered by our Cambridgeshire trained professionals after a face-to-face consultation. We only use licensed products from UK pharmacies and we are fully insured to perform the treatments.

What to expect during anti-wrinkle treatment

At Clinica our doctors will perform a thorough consultation, taking into consideration your medical history, needs and expectations.

They will carefully examine your skin and recommend the best treatments for your skin type and concern. Our doctors are trained in aesthetic medicine and are experienced in administering anti-wrinkle injections. They will ensure that you are fully informed and you have been made aware of all the relevant facts, including potential risks and complications before proceeding with the treatment.

During the consultation you will have an opportunity to ask questions, address any concerns and take as much time as you need to decide if the treatment is right for you, even if that means not going ahead with it at all. You can trust our doctors to give you their best and most honest clinical opinion and if they do not think the treatment is in your best interest they will tell you about that openly.

Before the procedure, we can apply numbing cream to the treated area at your request. Your healthcare professional will clean your skin with a gentle antiseptic solution and administer the injections with a very fine needle. If you don’t like needles we dedicate extra time and effort to make sure that you are comfortable and relaxed. You will be asked to move the muscles in your face so the doctor can carefully assess your anatomy and determine the best places for the injections.

Immediately after the procedure, most patients will have little red bumps in the areas where the injections were placed. These disappear quickly and most people are not bothered by them - they resume their normal daily activities immediately. However, we would recommend that you do not plan any important social occasions immediately after the procedure, to allow yourself time to recover.

Anti-wrinkle Injection Results

You will not see the results immediately, most people see the full effect in approximately 2 weeks. Your doctor will ask you to return for a follow up appointment to check if you are happy with the results, address any problems and decide if you need a small adjustment dose. A common misconception is that these review appointments are ’top ups’ and they are necessary to make the most out of the treatment. This is not the case and if you have a good result with no complications adding an additional dose will not make the treatment more effective or longer lasting, on the contrary, it may cause side effects.

Anti-wrinkle injections are not permanent and usually last up to 3 months. If you would like to have the treatment again, it is important to wait for at least 3 months after your last procedure, since the injections may stop working if you have them more often than that
