Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Our Anti-wrinkle injections will give especially good results with wrinkles on your forehead & brow, between your eyes or to the sides of your eyes (crows feet).

Botulinum Toxin has an excellent safety record, being used successfully in medical procedures for adults & children for over 30 years. Administered cosmetically by a qualified medical professional, it will only affect the intended facial muscle or sweat glands. We have extensive experience with Anti-wrinkle injections in our Belfast clinic.

It can take about 2-14 days to see the full effects after the initial treatment at our Belfast clinic.

3 – 4 months is most common, although sometimes longer. We offer all our patients the opportunity for a free 2 week follow up appointment to assess the effect of treatment & administer any top up treatments if necessary.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections are relatively painless, with perhaps a little discomfort during the procedure and only mild localised tenderness.

Any mild swelling or gentle bruising at the injection site should subside within 48 hours. True side effects are extremely rare, but as with any medicine an allergic reaction may occur or occasionally a treatment may relax nearby muscle groups, causing temporary drooping of eyebrow or eyelid that may last only a few weeks.

3 monthly intervals will sustain results in an area. Other areas can be treated within these intervals at no risk.

Our anti wrinkle injections treatments are designed to smooth dynamic wrinkles, they do not affect your facial expression. The final result can be tailored to you and can be discussed at the initial free consultation.

The proposed injection site is infected.
