WRINKLE REDUCTION TREATMENT

Wrinkle reduction treatments are non-surgical and quick, typically completed in around 30 minutes. During the procedure, a fine needle is used to inject a carefully measured amount of botulinum toxin into targeted facial muscles. This procedure is most suitable for dynamic wrinkles primarily caused by repeated facial movement, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines. A personalised consultation beforehand ensures precise planning and a natural looking outcome. Our experts will assess your skin and create a tailored treatment plan, ensuring optimal results that align with your desired outcome. The procedure is minimally invasive, requires no anaesthesia (although a topical numbing cream is available on request), and involves little to no downtime.

Dynamic wrinkles form due to repeated muscle movements that occur with facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, or squinting. Over time, these repetitive motions cause the skin to crease and lose elasticity, especially as natural collagen and elastin production declines with age. These wrinkles commonly appear on the forehead and around the eyes, and without intervention, these lines can deepen, contributing to an aged or tired appearance. Wrinkle reduction treatments target the root cause – overactive muscles – helping to smooth these lines while maintaining a natural look. They utilise a safe dosage of botulinum toxin to temporarily block nerve signals to specific muscles, preventing them from contracting and forming a wrinkle. The treatment doesn’t affect surrounding areas, ensuring a refreshed yet natural look while maintaining your unique expressions.

Results typically appear within 3-5 days and fully develop by 2 weeks. Expect smoother skin, reduced fine lines, and a more youthful appearance.

The effects of wrinkle reduction treatments are temporary because the neurotoxin used gradually wears off as the body metabolises it over time. This means that the targeted muscles will slowly regain their ability to contract, allowing wrinkles and fine lines to reappear. On average, results last for 3-4 months, though this may vary depending on individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and the treated area. Regular maintenance sessions are recommended to preserve the smooth, youthful appearance achieved with the initial treatment. By scheduling repeat treatments before the effects fully wear off, you can ensure consistent results and prevent the re-establishment of deep lines, maintaining a refreshed and rejuvenated look. During your consultation, our experts will advise on an optimal treatment schedule tailored to your needs.

Wrinkle reduction treatments are medically approved and skin@voguedental ensure they are performed by trained professionals. Side effects such as slight redness, swelling, muscle weakness, and bruising at treatment sites, are usually minimal and resolve quickly.

Like any cosmetic procedure, there are some potential risks, including minor asymmetry or unintended muscle relaxation. However, these side effects are uncommon, and most resolve quickly without lasting effects.
