There are several effective treatment options to reduce and soften facial lines and wrinkles, which one will best suit you depends on several factors including where your lines are and how deep they are.

Wrinkles are frequently caused by repetitive movement of the muscles that we use to form facial expressions and while we all need facial expressions to convey emotions, as we age, repeated use of some of these muscles can cause lines that are undesirable.

Other types of treatments for lines and wrinkles can help to stimulate collagen production or use injectable hyaluronic acid products to directly plump out the lines, rehydrating the skin in the process.

 As with any cosmetic injectable treatments, line and wrinkle reducing procedures carry a degree of risk of complications and these will be discussed with you at consultation, prior to any treatment being agreed. Adverse events are uncommon, usually occur within a few days of treatment and are expected to be temporary, usually resolving spontaneously within weeks. Aftercare advice designed to minimise risk and promote speedy recovery from any expected side effects will be provided at your treatment appointment.

In addition, to ensure your safety, this treatment should always be administered by a healthcare professional with specialist training and appropriate experience in carrying out the procedure.
