WRINKLE REDUCTION
Anti-wrinkle injections using botulinum toxin (Botox)
HOW DOES IT WORK?
When injected into the muscle, botox stops the muscle from contracting in it's normal way. By stopping these facial expressions like squinting and frowning we can stop wrinkles and creases from forming and in most cases get rid of lines which have already formed.
WHO IS IT FOR?
You will have heard people say "prevention is better than cure' and for facial wrinkles it is very true. Ideally, we want to prevent lines from forming in the first place however even in patients with very deep lines we can still make a huge improvement.
WHAT IS THE AFTERCARE?
At AJ Aesthetics we place a great deal of focus on simple aftercare to make sure you get the most out of your treatment.
Exercise should be avoided for 24 hours after treatment
Avoid facials for 48 hours
You should also remain in an upright position for 4 hours following treatment
HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?
Typically, Botox will last between 3-6 months. There are many factors which will affect this like age, how many previous treatments you've had etc.
DO I GET A TOP-UP?
Our aim is always to get the desired result in one treatment however we still review every client at two weeks. A 'top-up' isn't always required however nobodies face is totally symmetrical and we may need to make a small tweak here or there which is included in the initial price.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does It Hurt?
The needles we use for this treatment are extremely fine and so pain is very minimal. No numbing is required and the treatment takes just a few minutes.
What Happens If I Stop Treatment?
This is a common worry for people. Botox simple stops muscles from contracting which then allows the skin to recover and lines become less noticeable. If you stop getting treatments the muscles will begin to contract again and eventually the lines will return.
When Will I Start To See An Improvement?
It's worth noting that the improvements aren't instant. Typically, clients starts to see a difference between 3-7 days with maximal effects seen at 14 days.
