Wrinkle Treatment: Imagine Your Life Without Wrinkles!

Wrinkle treatments fall into 2 broad categories:

1. Injectables like Botulinum Toxin (often referred to as Botox) and Dermal Fillers, and

2. Resurfacing and collagen stimulating treatments, i.e Skin Rejuvenation

Both categories have their advantages, and they work extremely well together! But if you are going to chose one wrinkle treatment method over the other you need to understand how they work and how they might (or might not) suit your skin.

Put simply, muscle relaxant wrinkle treatment injections like Botox work by impairing the ability of facial muscles to pull the skin in directions that will cause lines and wrinkles. When done sympathetically, by qualified doctors, these injections are very effective and give virtually instant results.

Wrinkle treatment fillers work, typically, by injecting quantities of 'hyaluronic acid' - a naturally occurring substance that diminishes as we age, that has an amazing ability to attract water to the injected area, plumping up the skin and pushing our the lines and wrinkles.

The results of muscle relaxant and filler injections last for several months and if you think this is for you, read more on Botox and Fillers here.

Wrinkle treatments through resurfacing and stimulating collagen, work by restoring health and elasticity to the skin giving it certain youthful thickness which diminishes the appearance of wrinkles. We call this "tissue remodelling" and you can read more about it on our Skin Rejuvenation page.

The treatments are entirely natural and non invasive and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin to give your skin strength and resilience. It is part of the natural ageing process for production of collagen and elastin to slow down, so these safe methods of stimulating production can work wonders in restoring a youthful look.
