Treatment details
As we age, we develop fine lines and wrinkles on our skin. Anti- wrinkle treatment can be used to prevent these lines from forming. Anti-wrinkle treatment (botox) is a purified neurotoxin called Botulinum Toxin A produced by the bacterium Clostridum Botulinum.
It works by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscle, reducing their movement. When injected, it temporarily weakens the target muscles contraction, leading to smoother, younger-looking skin.
This treatment lasts for 3-6 months. This is because the body breaks it down gradually over time. By reducing the muscle activity, we can soften creases and wrinkles. We recommend starting anti-wrinkle treatment before dynamic lines turn into deep static lines. We recommend repeating treatments every 3-4 months for optimal results and maintenance.
At Areje Aesthetics, all our treatments are done by a fully qualified medical professional (doctor or nurse).
We offer a follow up appointment two weeks after initial treatment with a free anti-wrinkle top-up if required.
