Wrinkle Smoothing Injections

Maintaining a healthy, youthful and glowing complexion can become more of a challenge as we get older. Expression lines and dynamic wrinkles (the wrinkles that appear when we smile, frown, etc.) become more apparent and no amount of skin creams and lotions can make them disappear. When this starts to happen, we may seek more effective, non-surgical solutions.

At Fabelle Aesthetics in Farnham, Surrey, we offer wrinkle-smoothing injections (more commonly known as ‘Botox®’) to temporarily reduce dynamic facial lines. Wrinkle-smoothing injections are a highly effective, non-surgical treatment which is most commonly used for the upper areas of the face. This treatment has become one of the world’s most popular anti-ageing treatments, offers no downtime, quick results and does not require surgery or local anaesthetic.

We can treat the following areas with wrinkle-smoothing injections:

Glabella lines (frown lines between the eyes)
Forehead expression lines (when raising the eyebrows)
Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
Heavy eyelids (creating a mild eyebrow lift)
Bumps on the chin (commonly called the cobble stone effect)
Bunny lines (around the nose)
Neck (platysmal bands)

FAQs

How do wrinkle-smoothing injections work?

Many people know about wrinkle-smoothing injections but tend to know them by a brand of the substance used called ‘Botox’. This is in fact the common term used for small injections of a substance called Botulinum Toxin Type A into the facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. Botulinum Toxin Type A temporarily relaxes the muscles which causes expression lines but will not affect the ability to smile, frown and create natural expression if performed expertly.

How do I know I am suitable for wrinkle-smoothing injections?

Before any non-surgical treatment here at Fabelle Aesthetics, you will be asked to attend a no obligation consultation to assess your medical health and your unique and individual requirements. We will explain about the process and will let you know what results you can expect, should you decide to go ahead with wrinkle-smoothing injections.

How long is the treatment?

Treatment takes between 15 and 30 minutes.

When will I see the results?

Wrinkle-smoothing injections can start to take effect within 24 hours. However, it can take up to 2 weeks for full results to be seen. Wrinkle-smoothing injections can last several months depending on your individual reaction and response to treatment. Expect to return to the clinic every 3 to 5 months to maintain a smoother complexion.
