Anti wrinkle injections allow you to look and feel younger without the need for any invasive procedures.
As we age, the levels of elastin and collagen – the skin’s natural elastic and binding materials – begin to decline. This causes the skin to lose its suppleness and it begins to sag. As a result, fine lines and wrinkles develop. Botox® is a well-established and non-invasive treatment which is extremely effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Anti-wrinkle injections are a hugely popular variety of treatments with a whole host of benefits, chiefly to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles & expression lines.
As we age, levels of collagen and elastin within our skin start to reduce, leading to wrinkles, fine lines & loss of skin elasticity. This ageing process is a concern for many people of all walks of life. In todays world, with expectations on social media giving many unrealistic perceptions & expectations, it puts a growing pressure on many to seek treatments. Fine lines & wrinkles are increased by the overactivity & overuse of certain muscles in the face, namely when one smiles, frowns and laughs.

STEPS
Treatment steps
No-obligation Initial Consultation
We understand that undergoing new treatments can be a scary process- especially when needles are involved. For this reason, we always offer a no-obligation complimentary initial consultation with Dr Naeem. The main aim of the consultation is the following:
1) To allow the patient to get as much information about the treatment, including how it works, possible risks, side-effects & realistic outcomes (including before & after pictures of previous patients). This will allow the patient to make an informed decision which is in their best interest.
2) To allow Dr Naeem to see & assess the patient regarding their presenting concern with the aim of providing an honest, professional & sincere assessment.
3) To allow Dr Naeem to take a brief medical history to ensure treatment is safe & suitable for the patient.
4) To give the patient peace-of-mind by allowing them to meet their medical practitioner & ask any questions they wish to ask in a friendly, comfortable & non-judgmental setting. We welcome & encourage as many questions as possible during this consultation to ensure full satisfaction from the patient.
Treatment Plan
Based upon the initial consultation, a treatment plan may be proposed to the patient. In many cases, the patient may just wish to undergo anti-wrinkle injections and therefore won’t need a plan- However, often times there may be extra treatments or even alternative treatments which may help more, or simply enhance the results of another treatment. Based on the consultation, these are provided to the patient if they wish to be given a treatment plan/recommendation.
Undergoing Treatment
On the day of treatment, a few forms will be signed upon arrival to the clinic. Some pictures may also be taken, but will be strictly for private use by the clinic (unless the patient provides consent for it being shared).
Treatment time is usually between 30 minutes-1 hour depending on the areas being injected. The area is cleaned, numbed & may also be air cooled (using a state-of-the-art cooling system) to further minimise pain/discomfort.
Treatments usually have minimal pain and are well tolerated.
Aftercare
Aftercare instructions are verbally given by Dr Naeem as well as being automatically sent to the email provided.
If a physical copy of the aftercare instructions are needed, the clinic will also provide this.
Follow-up Appointment
Some patients (especially new patients) may wish to have a follow-up appointment to assess the results of treatment. This is always available to patients but may not always be needed. The treated area(s) usually show results after 5-7 days.
Next Treatment!
As amazing as anti-wrinkle injections are, they do not last forever. Typically, results last up to 4 months. This varies from patient to patient and it can be less or more than this amount o time. It is therefore important to book in again to maintain the results achieved.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Botox?
Botox® is the brand name of a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. In small, diluted amounts it can be injected into areas of the face to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It is an effective alternative to more invasive procedures, such as surgery.
Botox can also be used for gummy smiles, to help with bruxism (teeth grinding) and for the treatment of excessive sweating.
How does botox work?
Botox® works by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. It does this by blocking the signal from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscles can no longer contract as forcefully, which causes fine lines and wrinkles to relax and soften.
Where can Botox be used on the face?
Non-surgical cosmetic treatments such as Botox injections could be a viable alternative to facial plastic surgery. Botox is cheaper and quicker than a facelift but it is temporary and needs top-up sessions to maintain results.
Crow’s feet wrinkles can be eliminated by Botox injections.
Bunny lines on the top sides of the nose are different from patient to patient and are treated by Botox injections.
Other parts of face can be treated by Botox injections include the lower lids, mid-face such as “lipstick lines” (which could be due to smoking, sun damage, familial factors, chronic whistling and playing musical instruments), nasal tip elevation, nostril flare, lines beside nose (nasolabial folds), jowls, facial asymmetry and facial excessive sweating (Frey Syndrome), chin and bands over the neck (platysma band treatment) in ageing necks.
what results can I expect from anti-wrinkle injections?
While results do vary from patient to patient, you can expect a subtle yet effective look, for a look that looks effortless, natural & youthful . You should be able to see a difference within a week after your treatment and last up to 4 months. Most patients will then choose to reschedule treatment to maintain their results, with a longer-lasting outcome the more treatments you have
What results can i expect to see?
Anti-wrinkle injections are a relatively pain-free treatment, with only mild discomfort, which is minimised through the use of a topical anaesthetic and advanced air-cooling system (this may not always be used). Some redness & bruising may occur, but this will subside usually within a few days. We provide full aftercare advice via email.Makeup can be worn to cover these possible side effects.
How long will the results last?
Results can last up to 4 months. It is important to have follow-up treatments to maintain your results
