What Types of Wrinkles can be Treated?
There are three main types of wrinkles that can be treated with the toxin which we
use.
 Frown lines (Glabella lines) are most commonly seen in patients with
excessive sun exposure and those who have over activity of these muscles
often associated with frowning. Frown wrinkles are vertical lines and can
signal emotions such as anger, anxiety or fear. People with these types of
wrinkles may complain that their family, friends or work colleagues ask why
they frown a lot. Frown wrinkles are vertical lines and can be successfully
treated.

 Forehead wrinkles appear in horizontal
lines in the area between the eyebrows
and the hairline. These wrinkles are
formed during facial expression to
convey emotions such as surprise or
empathy.
 Crow’s Feet wrinkles (periorbiltal
wrinkles) are in the outer corner of the
eyes and appear more prominent when
laughing or smiling. Crow’s feet wrinkles
can result from excessive sun exposure
combined with the skin becoming less
elastic with age.

Anti-Wrinkle Treatment FAQ
With the injection, the nerve impulses are blocked the muscle is temporarily unable
to contract so that dynamic wrinkles are not formed. This gives the overlying facial
skin a softer, smoother and more youthful appearance.
Is the Treatment Safe?
Muscle relaxant which we use has an excellent safety record and a long record of
use in medicine. It has been used successfully in adults and children in a variety of
medical conditions over the last 20 years. It has been used cosmetically to treat
facial wrinkles for about 15 years and has become one of the most popular and
frequently used cosmetic treatments.

Does the Injection Hurt?
Injections are relatively painless as the
injections are performed using a very
fine needle. Patients therefore and do
not require any anaesthesia. The full
treatment takes about 15-20 minutes to
perform and you are able to drive and
go to work the same day.

9. www.regentstreetclinic.co.uk
How Long Do The Effects Last?
It can take about 2-14 days to see the full
effects after the initial treatment. The
cosmetic effects can last up to six months
but typically range from three to four
months. Eventually, most people require
re-treatment as the wrinkles reappear.
However, in some treated areas (such as
frown wrinkles), the wrinkles may return
less severe after repeated treatments as
the unconscious muscle contraction habit
is broken.We advise our patients to book
a post two week follow up appointment to
assess the effect of treatment.

10. www.regentstreetclinic.co.uk
Are There Any Side Effects?
Most people find that the injections cause only mild local pain and tenderness.
Immediately after the injection, there may be mild swelling at the injection site
which usually subsides within 48 hours. Slight bruising is also possible. Side
effects of these treatments are extremely rare. Occasionally, the treatment may
relax nearby muscle groups causing temporary drooping of the eyebrow or
eyelids. This may last for a few weeks but will resolve with time. As with any
medicine, an allergic reaction may occur, this is however quite rare. Conversely,
there may be some unintended benefits in some people such as easing of tension-
type headaches as the muscles in the forehead relax.

How often can I have Treatments?
When the effect of the injection wears off the wrinkles will always return to their
pre-treatment state. Treatments can be repeated to a minimum of three monthly
intervals, but the effects may last longer for some individuals, especially if they
have had previous treatments to the same area.
Will I still have an Expression in my Face?
Treatments are designed to smooth dynamic wrinkles in the forehead and around
eyes, they do not affect your facial expression. The final result can be tailored to
each patient and can be discussed at the initial free consultation.

12. www.regentstreetclinic.co.uk
What aftercare Advice should I follow?
Try to contract the treated muscle areas for up to four hours after treatment, by frowning
and lifting eyebrows to allow the toxin to reach all of the treated muscle.
Avoid rubbing or touching the injected areas and avoid having facials and massage for
48 hours this is to ensure that the treatment remains at the site of injection.
Avoid vigorous exercise and alcohol for 48 hours.
If bruising develops you can apply Arnica cream.
Paracetamol can be taken for mild pain post procedure.
We offer all clients a no obligation free consultation with a doctor.
