Fine lines often indicate that the skin is at the beginning of the ageing process. They can be associated with common, repetitive movements such as smiling or frowning. Anti-wrinkle injections using Botox can help.
As collagen and elastin levels deplete with age, skin loses its elasticity and fine lines begin to form. They respond to treatment quickly and effectively, and at Harpenden Skin Clinic we offer anti-wrinkle injections or ‘Botox’ near Watford in a safe and stylish setting in leafy Hertfordshire.
The procedure has a short recovery time, very few risks and can lead to remarkable results at affordable prices.
Our clinic is located conveniently near the A414, M1 and M25, with easy access from Watford and ample free parking. During your initial consultation, we will talk you through the options for treatment.
Almost everyone has heard of Botox injections, and this is the popular term for anti-wrinkle treatments using the botulinum toxin, which relaxes muscles. It’s been used to treat millions of patients worldwide and is one of the most popular treatments in the cosmetic industry for quick and effective skin rejuvenation.
Anti-wrinkle injections are best known for reducing facial lines and wrinkles by relaxing the muscles that show tension in the face. They are also effective in helping to prevent wrinkles caused by frowning (ie frown lines) and expressing other forms of tension in the face.
Small localised injections made by a fine needle will be administered by a trained and experienced physician at our clinic.
Our practitioners know precisely where to place injections for the best results, and their skill and training will maximise the benefits while reducing the possible side effects. You know you’re in the safest hands for aesthetic procedures in a medically led clinic like Harpenden Skin Clinic near Watford.
Botox is an anti-wrinkle treatment that contains botulinum toxin. When injected into facial muscles, botulinum toxin interrupts nerve signals and prevents the muscle from contracting. The effect is to soften your lines and wrinkles, reducing their appearance.
When used over time, Botox can help to prevent further lines and wrinkles from developing, for example, reducing frown lines, lines between the eyebrows called bunny lines, and fine lines around the eyes known as crow’s feet.
While Botox is one of the most popular and effective anti-ageing treatments, it is also used to produce other results. At Harpenden Skin Clinic we use Botox to reduce teeth grinding and its effects, and for jaw reshaping. Botox may also be used to treat excessive sweating.
At Harpenden Skin Clinic near Watford we can help clients reduce teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, with the same injectable treatments that we use to treat fine lines and wrinkles.
Teeth grinding often happens subconsciously or while sleeping and is therefore difficult to stop.
Mouth guards are typically given by dentists as a preventative measure. However, they are not always practical and make an undesirable addition to the accessory collection, and injections containing Botox can help.
Teeth grinding is often linked to stress and can lead to headaches – even chronic migraines – facial pain, disrupted sleep and increased teeth sensitivity. Botox injections administered to the master muscle cause the jaw to relax and the associated clamping to soften. An improvement in bruxism is noticed in most cases.
Larger jaws are sometimes caused by hypertrophy of the master muscle – an enlargement due to the increased size of particular cells. If the master muscle of the jaw is injected with Botox, the muscle relaxes and over the subsequent 8 weeks decreases in size. The width of the lower face is reshaped, giving a heart-shaped jawline.
During your initial consultation, we will talk you through the options for treatment. Small localised injections made by a fine needle will be administered by a trained and experienced physician at the clinic.
Bruising, swelling or redness may occur at the site of the injection. Botulinum toxin blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles, so when having treatment for bruxism or jaw reshaping patients may experience some difficulty when chewing, swallowing or articulating.
For fine lines and wrinkles, results can be noticeable within the first two weeks after treatment and can last anything between 3-6 months. A 2-week follow-up appointment is included in the treatment.
For bruxism and jaw reshaping: The master muscle begins to soften within the first week, after the procedure. A reduction in the jaw can be seen between 6 and 8 weeks. This remains observable for 6-12 months. After 3 treatments permanent changes have been reported in some cases.
Anti-wrinkle injections are minimally invasive. Typically, your treatment will take 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of sites treated. Most patients do not require any downtime. You can normally resume your daily activities straight away.
In a minority of cases, some clients report tenderness, swelling, itching, or bruising around the injection sites, but this is only temporary, and your skin will recover within 24 hours.
Try to treat your skin with extra care for the hours after your treatment; avoid rubbing, touching, or applying makeup to your face if possible.
You should avoid extremes of temperature, such as hot showers, baths, or saunas, and protect your skin from direct sunlight for up to a week after anti-wrinkle injections.
