FACIAL AGEING
The upper face consists of three regions that are very commonly treated using Anti-Wrinkle Injections Botox Wakefield. These are the forehead (frontalis), the glabella, and the crows feet. Our medically trained injector will use his knowledge and expertise to analyse your face and place the doses with pin point accuracy to deliver exceptional results.
Because of this, the following changes can occur
ANTI OXIDANT
Decline in skins natural anti-oxidant production – This starts to decrease in your 20s which therefore, makes your skin vulnerable to damage from oxidative factors.
COLLAGEN
In the dermis of the skin- collagen and elastin fibres provide skin texture and volume. From around the age of 30 these fibres start to break down which creates fine lines and wrinkles to progress.
SKIN CELL CYCLE
Skin cell life cycle- This slows down as we grow older which causes a drier and uneven skin texture.
MUSCLES
Over-use of muscles within the face for example, squinting/smiling can aid the formation of wrinkles, which again is more noticeable with ageing.

ALYSSA
“I have had so many compliments on the difference it has made”
Anti-wrinkle injections are an ideal solution for:
- eliminating lines on the forehead (Horizontal forehead lines)
- smoothing the skin between the eyebrows (Glabella)
- reducing the appearance of lines around the eyes (Crow’s feet)
The Botox®-treated areas begin to relax and the wrinkles in the skin become less visible and often disappear altogether.
It is a form of Botulinum toxin that is a prescription-only medicine. It has been purified and diluted to be safe for cosmetic use. Botulinum toxin is a muscle relaxant, and when administered in the form of Botox®, can significantly ease the appearance of some wrinkles.
When Botox® is injected into facial muscles, the toxin temporarily blocks neurotransmitter activity, which prevents full muscle contraction. Because the muscles can no longer contract, the appearance of wrinkles caused by facial movements like frowning, raising the eyebrows, or squinting is significantly reduced.
Botox® treatments have been used as Cosmetic Treatments since the late 1980’s, revolutionizing the cosmetic industry due to their remarkable results combined with very few risks and no recovery time.
Fast & Effective– A typical treatment will show improvement approximately after 4-7 days, and takes only 10-15 minutes to complete.
Natural-Looking outcomes (without evidence that you’ve had work done)- There is no decrease in sensation or numbness of Botox® treated areas.
Effects of Botox® injections are reversible– lasting 3 to 9 months.
Muscle Memory- Repeated injections of upkeep treatments may cause a muscle memory response to develop, thus enhancing Botox® effects.
Non Surgical Approach – to treat wrinkles, which eliminates the need for anaesthesia and long recovery times.
Who is the Best Candidate for Botox®?
Typically, I treat patients from ages 20 to 70+.
Younger patients and those with fewer wrinkles are good candidates for this procedure because though their wrinkles may not be yet pronounced. Botox® can be administered as a preventative measure to minimize the creasing of the skin.
To answer this, Botox® has an excellent safety profile. It has been used by neurologists and ophthalmologists for nearly two decades.
Botox® injections have been used to treat millions of patients worldwide and is the world’s most popular Non Surgical treatment.
However, if you are pregnant/ breastfeeding or have a neurological disease should not be treated with Botox® Cosmetic injections.
