All about wrinkles Wrinkles can be successfully
treated using a protein called a toxin - an
injection into the muscles under facial wrinkles
causes relaxation of those muscles, resulting in
the smoothing of the overlying skin. In
non-surgical aesthetic use the amount of product
used is small and extremely safe. It reversibly
weakens the muscles responsible for dynamic
wrinkles which are lines that appear when you
animate your face.   Static wrinkles are lines
that appear at rest, these may not improve much
with toxin and may be best treated with Dermal
Fillers.   Regent Street Clinic offer following
Aesthetic treatments at our Leicester clinic
Botox Wrinkle Injections, Lip Fillers, Cheek
Fillers, PDO Thread Lifting,  APRP Anti-Ageing.

What Types of Wrinkles can be treated?
There are three main types of wrinkles that can
be treated with the toxin.   Frown lines
(Glabella lines) are most commonly seen in
patients with excessive sun exposure and those
who have over activity of these muscles often
associated with frowning. Frown wrinkles are
vertical lines and can signal emotions such as
anger, anxiety or fear. People with these types
of wrinkles may complain that their family,
friends or work colleagues ask why they frown a
lot. Frown wrinkles are vertical lines and can be
successfully treated with this toxin.

What Types of Wrinkles can be treated?
Forehead wrinkles appear in horizontal lines in
the area between the eyebrows and the hairline.
These wrinkles are formed during facial
expression to convey emotions such as surprise or
empathy.   Eye Wrinkles/Laughter Lines (Crows
Feet)  Crows Feet wrinkles (Periorbiltal
wrinkles) are in the outer corner of the eyes and
appear more prominent when laughing or smiling.
Crows Feet Wrinkles can result from excessive
sun exposure combined with the skin becoming less
elastic with age.

Wrinkle treatment FAQ
When injected into a muscle, the medicine
temporarily relaxes the muscle by blocking nerve
impulses. As the nerve impulses are blocked the
muscle is temporarily unable to contract so that
dynamic wrinkles are not formed. This gives the
overlying facial skin a softer, smoother and more
youthful appearance.

Wrinkle treatment FAQ
How Long Do The Effects Last?  It can take about
2-14 days to see the full effects after the
initial treatment. The cosmetic effects can last
up to six months but typically range from three
to four months. Eventually most people require
re-treatment as the wrinkles reappear. However
in some treated areas (such as frown wrinkles),
the wrinkles may return less severe after
repeated treatments as the unconscious muscle
contraction habit is broken. We offer all our
patients a free two week follow up appointment to
assess the effect of treatment and administer any
top up treatments if necessary.

Wrinkle treatment FAQ
Are there any side effects?   Most people find
that the injections cause only mild local pain
and tenderness. Immediately after the injection
there may be mild swelling at the injection site
which usually subsides within 48 hours. Slight
bruising is also possible. Side effects of these
treatments are extremely rare. Occasionally, the
treatment may relax nearby muscle groups causing
temporary drooping of the eyebrow or eyelids.
This may last for a few weeks but will resolve
with time. As with any medicine an allergic
reaction may occur, this is however quite rare.
Conversely there may be some unintended benefits
in some people such as easing of tension type
headaches as the muscles in the forehead relax.

Wrinkle treatment FAQ
How often can I have treatments?   When the
effect of the treatment wears off the wrinkles
will always return to their pre treatment state.
Treatments can be repeated to a minimum of three
monthly intervals, but the effects may last
longer for some individuals, especially if they
have had previous treatments to the same
area.   Will I still have expression in my
face?   These treatments are designed to smooth
dynamic wrinkles in the forehead and around eyes,
they do not affect your resting facial
expression. The final result can be tailored to
each patient and can be discussed at the initial
free consultation.

Wrinkle treatment FAQ
What after care advice should I follow?   Try to
contract the treated muscle areas for up to four
hours after treatment, by frowning and lifting
eyebrows to allow the toxin to reach all of the
treated muscle.   Avoid rubbing or touching the
injected areas and avoid having facials and
massage for 48 hours this is to ensure that the
treatment remains at the site of
injection.   Avoid vigorous exercise and alcohol
for 48 hours.   If bruising develops the you can
apply Arnica cream Paracetamol can be taken for
mild pain post procedure   We offer all clients
 a no obligation free consultation with a doctor.
