Refresh your look by reducing wrinkles

in London, Oxford & The South West

Anti-wrinkle injections reduce facial lines. This treatment uses Botulinum neurotoxin (BOTOX® or Azzalure®) which is a natural, purified protein that relaxes wrinkle-causing muscles, to create a smooth, rejuvenated appearance. Tiny quantities are injected directly into a muscle to temporarily block the chemical signals that make the muscle contract. The muscle simply relaxes, and this relaxation allows the skin to become smooth. Botulinum toxin has been used safely for decades for a variety of medical indications including the treatment of squint in children, bladder instability, migraine, and many other conditions. Millions of patients worldwide have been safely and successfully treated with this drug.

Anti-wrinkle injections FAQs

The effects of the BOTOX® or Azzalure® will take about 2-4 days to kick in, and then a full 2 weeks to become completely established. During those 2 weeks, you may experience changes in the activity of the muscles, possibly some heaviness of the brows or hyper elevation of one or both sides.

The effects will last for up to 3 months after your initial treatment, but it varies from person to person. At 3 months, you will probably have significant return of movement. If you wish to maintain the effects, you will need to undergo repeat treatment.

You will have a consultation with Dr Fitzgerald, during which your suitability for the treatment will be assessed and your expectations discussed. Dr Fitzgerald will give you expert advice on what will work best for you.

BOTOX® and Azzalure® are the trade names for a drug called Botulinum Toxin A. The drug temporarily blocks muscle activity and as a result, the skin that covers the muscles does not crease. It is popular as an anti-wrinkle treatment, since lines and wrinkles flatten and soften.

Millions of patients worldwide have been safely and successfully treated with this drug. Botulinum toxin has been used safely for decades.

Tiny quantities are injected directly into a muscle to temporarily block the chemical signals that make the muscle contract. The muscle simply relaxes or “goes to sleep”, and this relaxation allows the skin to become smooth.

Many people worry that anti-wrinkle injections like BOTOX® or Azzalure® can cause the face to look frozen and unnatural. Unfortunately, in some cases this does happen when it is badly injected. Correctly administered treatments should appear natural. With skilled hands it is possible to tailor your treatment to give you as little or as much movement as you want. As in all treatments, Dr Fitzgerald focuses on fine touches in the right places for an elegant and subtle result.

The neurotoxin is then administered by several tiny injections which feel a little bit sharp. You will have some small red bumps at the site of the injections that will disappear within about 20 minutes. You can return to day-to-day activities immediately.
