Anti-Wrinkle Treatment

How do wrinkles develop?

With age, elastic fibres become and collagen become less abundant in the skin. These are important in maintaining skin integrity and their loss leads to development of wrinkles. Other factors that can speed up the ageing process is exposure to ultraviolet light and the individual’s genetic makeup.

Botulinum Toxin

Botulinum Toxin is a neurotoxin produced by the bacteria Clostridum Botulinum. When injected into the target muscle, the toxin binds to neurones (nerve units) causing reduced production of acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a protein that activates muscle action. With botulinum toxin’s effect, the activation of muscular action is blocked leading to reduced appearance of wrinkles. At our Bond street clinic we use Botox produced by Allergan Both dermal fillers and botox can be used in the treatment of wrinkles. It depends on the individual.

Typical areas injected are the forehead, crow’s feet, marionette lines and nasolabial folds. Book an appointment with us for a consultation on the most suitable treatment for you.
