Anti-Wrinkle Treatments 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. The toxin has got over 50 years 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 experience.

In the Aesthetic field, Anti-wrinkle treatments 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.

As Anti-Wrinkle Treatments 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 Treatments 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 patient’s 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.

Anti-wrinkle Treatments 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 Treatment 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.
A 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 Treatment 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 ageing features on the face. It can also be used to naturally enhance lips and to provide subtle contours to the face.
