Understanding Wrinkles
Wrinkles are a natural part of the ageing process. They form when the skin loses its elasticity and collagen production decreases. Factors such as sun exposure, genetics, and lifestyle choices can accelerate the development of wrinkles.
The two main types of wrinkles are:
1. Dynamic Wrinkles: These appear when muscles contract during facial expressions, such as smiling or frowning, and typically occur around the eyes (crow’s feet), between the eyebrows (frown lines), and on the forehead.
2. Static Wrinkles: These are visible even when facial muscles are at rest and are often found on the cheeks, around the mouth, and on the neck.
Our Approach
At Elle Medical Aesthetics, we take a personalised and holistic approach to anti-wrinkle treatments. Our goal is not just to reduce the appearance of wrinkles but also to enhance your natural beauty, ensuring you look refreshed and rejuvenated, not “overdone.”
Botulinum Toxin Injections
One of the UK’s most popular antiwrinkle treatment is with botulinum toxin type A injections (also referred to as Azzalure (Galderma) or Botox (Allergan). These products are neurotoxins and when injected into the muscles they block the signal from the nerve to the muscle resulting in temporary relaxation. As the muscles relax, the overlying skin relaxes and lines and wrinkles are smoothed away! Effects typically last 3months, with peak effect at 6 weeks after which facial expressions and movement will gradually return to normal. The treatment is quick, non-invasive and is typically used to smooth away forehead wrinkles, frown lines and laughter lines. With advanced techniques offered in clinic these injections can also correct a gummy smile, downturned smile, bunny lines, smokers lines and create a jaw slimming effect as well as a lip flip or brow lift!
