FACIAL AESTHETICS PROCEDURES 
in Harlow, Essex

​

Anti-wrinkle (Bottox) injections use a purified protein to temporarily relax specific facial muscles, smoothing out existing lines and preventing new ones from forming. Most commonly known by brand names like Botox or Azzalure, this treatment targets dynamic wrinkles—the lines that appear when you express emotions like frowning or smiling.

​

Here is a breakdown of how the treatment works:

 

1. Common Target Areas

• Forehead lines: Horizontal creases that form when you raise your eyebrows.

• Frown lines: The vertical "11" lines between your eyebrows.

• Crow's feet: Fine lines around the outer corners of your eyes. 

 

2. The Procedure

• Consultation: The practitioner assesses your facial movement to map out precise injection points.

• Injections: Using an ultra-fine needle, tiny amounts of the product are injected directly into the target muscles.

• Sensation: Feels like a quick, minor sting; no numbing cream is usually required.

• Speed: The entire injection process takes only 10 to 15 minutes.

 

3. Aftercare & Recovery

• Immediate look: Minor redness or tiny bumps at the injection site, which fade within an hour.

• Crucial rules: You must stay upright for 4 hours and avoid rubbing your face, vigorous exercise, or heat treatments for 24 hours to prevent the product from shifting.

• Results: Changes start appearing in 3 to 5 days, with the full, smoothed effect peaking at 2 weeks.

• Longevity: Results typically last between 3 to 4 months as muscle movement gradually returns.
