Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Anti-wrinkle injections work by temporarily relaxing the muscles in the face that cause lines and wrinkles. Botulinum toxin is a naturally occurring protein which when injected into facial muscles stops them from contracting.
At AK Aesthetics, we offer a wide variety of beauty treatments, including a special non-surgical line softening treatment. The treatment involves the use of a purified form of protein. A type of toxin, a low dose is administered through a series of minute injections, which penetrate the muscles. As fine lines and wrinkles are caused by repeated muscle activity in certain areas, hence names such as ‘laughter lines’, the muscles are targeted in order to reduce the activity of the muscle. In turn, this will then offer a way to temporality reduce facial lines.
As needle used in this treatment is incredibly thin, there should be minimal discomfort and absolutely no pain. It only takes between twenty minutes to half an hour, so you can easily come in at a time that is convenient for your schedule. You can benefit from the results for up to four months, so in order to keep wrinkles at bay, simply come to top-up the treatment around three times each year. If you choose not to do this, the lines will reappear over time.
You can trust AK Aesthetics to deliver your line softening treatment in a professional and safe way. There shouldn’t be any side-effects and although the toxin used is a type of prescription-only medication, you will be treated by a qualified nurse, non-medical prescriber after a stringent consultation and health check process. For your peace of mind, we are proud to be accredited by Save Face, demonstrating our high standards and professional level of care.
