Anti-wrinkle treatments have been used widely in aesthetics since the 1980s. A purified protein, the injections work by blocking the signals between the nerves and muscles, which reduces muscle contraction and softens the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

The treatment takes only around 15 minutes and patients can generally return to their normal activities immediately. 

The effects will start to take place within a few days, and by two weeks, patients are left with a smoother, more youthful appearance. The effects last, on average, around three to six months, and over time, patients generally find they require treatments less frequently as the effects start to last longer.

Anti-wrinkle treatments have also been found to be effective in reducing migraines and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).

The results of anti-wrinkle treatments are mainly dependent on the skill and experience of the clinician.

At Cavendish Clinic, our treatments are only ever delivered by a team of highly trained, leading Aesthetic Doctors and Nurses who have many years of experience in treating thousands of satisfied clients, giving you confidence in achieving excellent results.

You can expect to see results after 4-7 days, but your best results will be after 10-14 days.

There is no real downtime when having anti-wrinkle injections but you might have some minor bruising or swelling directly after treatment. For the best results, avoid touching and massaging the area for the rest of the day. Also, avoid heavy exercise or sauna/steam rooms for 24 hours after treatment.

This is a difficult question to answer because everyone will start to show static lines at different ages. Some people will start to show deep expression lines in their 20’s, while some people will barely have any lines around 40-50. As a rule of thumb, start at 25+ when preventative and most people will benefit from anti-wrinkle treatments from the age of 30.

When getting this treatment, it’s important to remember that the results are directly related to the dosing. Therefore, our doctors rather inject less and get you in for a top-up, rather than use too much and give you that ‘frozen’ look. Most people come to our clinic to get natural looking results, which our doctors are renowned for.

Anti-wrinkle injections are becoming increasingly popular with men. Men and women want different results and therefore, we use different dosages and treatment techniques. All our Doctors and Plastic Surgeon are very experienced treating men. A very popular treatment amongst men is getting anti-wrinkle treatments in the armpit against excessive sweating.

At Cavendish Clinic, we want to ensure that our customers fully understand their treatment of choice, including any risks, and that they have clear and realistic expectations of the results, particularly when it is their first time experiencing an injectable treatment. Every customer will receive a complimentary consultation during which they can ask any questions they may have, and we also give a one-week ‘cooling off’ period to empower any new customers to make informed decisions about their future treatments. Cavendish believes in a 360 approach when it comes to skin health, so during this period, we offer a complimentary Cavendish HydraFacial to refresh your complexion and optimise the rejuvenating effects of your upcoming injectables treatment.
