Anti-Wrinkle Injections are used to relax the wrinkle-causing muscles of the upper face, they reduce deep wrinkles and fine lines whilst also preventing new wrinkles from forming. Toxin has got over 50 years of experience in the medical field where it is used to treat a wide range of medical problems such as excessive sweating, and migraines. In the Aesthetic field, it has 30 years of experience.

In the Aesthetic field, Anti-wrinkle Injections are used to treat:
Horizontal Forehead Lines.
Frown Lines – 11 lines between the eyebrows.
Crow’s Feet – Around the eyes.
Bunny Lines – Scrunch lines on the nose.
Underarms for Hyperhidrosis – excessive sweating.

As Anti-Wrinkle Injections are prescriptive medications they are administered by medical professionals. Careful consideration and medical clearance will be undertaken before treatment. The best advice is to visit a highly reputable clinic with highly experienced medical professionals, renowned for good practice and subtle results, such as Thérapie Clinic.

1 Area of Anti Wrinkle Injections can be administered to the below only.

Frown Lines – 11 lines between the eyebrows
Crow’s Feet – Around the eyes.

Unfortunately, we do not treat the Forehead area in isolation, this must be treated in conjunction with the frown area. This approach greatly improves results and the Patients satisfaction with the treatment.

Treating the forehead on its own can result in a heavy look and feel around the frown area, treating the forehead with the frown area prevents this from happening.

At Thérapie Clinic we use the world’s most tried and tested HA dermal fillers available on the market. Its safety and effects are clinically proven and supported by extensive clinical data. Our dermal fillers have been used for over 15 years and in more than 15 million treatments worldwide. Your doctor will give you more information during your consultation.

Anti-wrinkle Injections have minimal pain, they are administered with very fine needles and take only a few seconds to undertake. It will be a tiny prick of a needle for a moment, most patients tolerate it very well. Several injections are given to each area being treated. If you are highly sensitive, a topical anesthetic cream can be applied first.

Anti-wrinkle Injections have a very strong safety profile and have been used for over 30 years in the Aesthetic field with millions of treatments globally every year. They are safe and effective when administered by a highly trained medical doctor who has a high level of expertise in the field.

Most side effects associated with these treatments are mild and transient they include:

Mild swelling at the injection site.
Mild tenderness and bruising at or around the injection site.
Mild headache.
Mild feeling of heaviness.

The longevity of treatment can be affected by your metabolism, your muscle bulk, and your lifestyle; each patient responds differently, but on average anti-wrinkle injections last between 2 and 4 months before the full relaxing effect on the muscle wears off completely.

Anti-wrinkle results wear off gradually, the full relaxation result will last out to 6 weeks post-treatment, after which a tiny bit of movement slowly creeps back in however muscles are not back to full functionality until the 2 to 4-month mark when re-treatment is recommended.

The other incredibly popular treatment is Dermal Filler – at Thérapie Clinic we use the Juvederm brand.

Juvederm is a high-end FDA-approved Dermal Filler made in France. It is a Hyaluronic Acid gel which is a naturally occurring substance, it is essentially a sugar gel that is injected into the skin to subtly correct some of the aging features on the face. It can also be used to naturally enhance lips and to provide subtle contours to the face.
