Anti-wrinkle treatment at Millennium Aesthetics
As we age, our skin becomes thinner and weaker – this results in the underlying muscles exerting a greater influence on the skin as they contract, causing wrinkles and an aged appearance to the skin. Over time these wrinkles become permanent fixtures in the skin.
Anti-wrinkle injections (such as Botox®, Bocouture® or Azzalure®, etc) are a form of purified protein injected into various muscles resulting in temporary relaxation of the muscle and a smoother appearance of the skin.
Very fine needles are used with the injection and topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to enhance comfort. Treatment gradually takes effect over 7-10 days. Results typically last 3-4 months but can last upto 6 months in some people.
