When people talk about wrinkle reducing injections, they often use the term Wrinkle reduction as a ‘catch-all’ phrase for treatments using wrinkle fillers. In fact, there are several different brands of these injections.

In 2015, wrinkle injections continued to be the most popular and fastest growing non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the UK and the US. The injections work by temporarily blocking the signal that tells a muscle to contract so that the overlying skin isn’t repeatedly creased and wrinkled by your facial expressions. This can dramatically improve the appearance of your existing expressive lines and wrinkles, and help to slow down the emergence of new ones.

The unstoppable rise in the popularity of wrinkle fillers can be put down to several factors. More and more people are shying away from invasive cosmetic procedures. High profile celebrities whose Facelift treatments have made them unrecognisable may have a part to play in this. While people want to smooth away their fine lines and wrinkles, they still want to look like themselves, just a refreshed and rejuvenated version.

Wrinkle reduction injections have an excellent safety record. The substance involved has been licensed for use in a range of medical procedures for several decades but has also been the subject of many clinical trials for cosmetic purposes. In the hands of an experienced and suitably trained medical professional, it tends to be a low-risk procedure.

Another appeal of Wrinkle reduction is that the treatments are temporary. This means that should someone decide that Wrinkle reduction is no longer the right option for them, the results should fully wear off after 4 to 6 months.

The treatment offers a good degree of flexibility. The injections can be delivered in different quantities and to different depths, depending on which wrinkles we want to address and the results we want to achieve.

You may sometimes hear this being referred to as a ‘lunchtime’ procedure because the treatment takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes, making it ideal for fitting in during a spare hour of time. There is no downtime, so you can go back to work or carry on your day as usual. You should see the full results within five to seven days.
