What Are Botox® Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Botulinum toxin type A (commonly known by the brand name Botox®) is one of the most effective and widely used treatments for dynamic wrinkles - the lines that develop through repeated facial expressions such as smiling, laughing, squinting and frowning.
Botox® is commonly used to soften:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Chin dimpling
- Downturned corners of the mouth
- Neck bands in selected patients
Our qualified doctor will assess your needs and recommend the best course of treatments for you. This might include a combination of treatments.
What To Expect From Botox® Treatments?
Tiny amounts of botulinum toxin will be carefully injected into specific facial muscles. The treatment temporarily reduces excessive muscle contraction, allowing the overlying skin to appear smoother and less creased.
Most patients notice:
- Initial improvement within 3–5 days
- Full results within 10–14 days
- Smoother, more relaxed skin
- A fresher, less tired appearance
Treatment typically takes 10–20 minutes, and most clients describe the sensation as a brief pinprick with minimal discomfort. There is no significant downtime, so many patients return to work and normal activities immediately afterwards.
The effects usually last three to six months, after which the treatment can be safely repeated to maintain the results.
Other Anti-Ageing Face Treatments
Your consultation will help our doctors work out which treatment will give you the results you desire. Other anti-ageing treatments available at CJA Aesthetics Clinics include:
Sylfirm X Radio Frequency Microneedling: For patients who want to improve skin texture, firmness and overall skin quality, we offer Sylfirm X Radio Frequency Microneedling. This advanced treatment combines microneedling with radio frequency energy to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin deep within the skin.
Dermal Fillers for Facial Rejuvenation: Not all wrinkles are caused by muscle movement. As we age, the face gradually loses collagen, elastin and volume, leading to hollowing, sagging and deeper static lines. Dermal fillers can restore lost support and create a more youthful facial contour.
PDO Thread Lifts: For patients experiencing sagging skin, jowls or loss of facial definition, we offer the Spring Thread® PDO Thread Lift. This minimally invasive treatment uses specially designed threads placed beneath the skin to lift and support sagging tissues such as around the jawline, face and neck.
Polynucleotide Skin Boosters: Polynucleotide molecules stimulate the metabolic activity of cells in your skin, regenerating collagen and boosting the body's natural fibroblast production.
Anti-Wrinkle Injection FAQs
What are wrinkle-reducing injections?
«We use Botox® which is a highly diluted form of the neurotoxin protein botulinum. A minuscule amount will be expertly injected into selected muscles to temporarily relax those muscles.
Which areas can you treat with Botox?
«Botox is commonly used to inject the horizontal lines on the forehead, the frown lines between the eyebrows, and lines around the eyes. It can also be administered to soften lines around the mouth, to raise the corners of the eyebrows, to elevate the corners of a downturned mouth, to improve the shape of the jawline and to soften the neck.
You may also have heard of the Nefertiti Facelift which enables us to improve the appearance of sagging jowls and a saggy or crepey neck using Botox injectables.
