Anti-wrinkle injections
Medical-led anti wrinkle injections in Sheffield designed to soften frown lines, smooth expression wrinkles and support subtle, natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
WHAT ARE ANTI WRINKLE INJECTIONS?
Botox (Botulinum Toxin A) is a neurotoxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, which is then purified for clinical and cosmetic use. Our anti wrinkle injections in Sheffield use Botox® to temporarily relax targeted muscles by blocking the chemical signal (acetylcholine) sent from the nerves to the muscle.
This means the muscle is put into a state of temporary relaxation, softening fine lines and wrinkles in the skin. Anti wrinkle injections Sheffield treatments are commonly used to smooth expression lines while maintaining natural facial movement.

Chin ‘pebbling’ is an effect of loss of collagen along with hyperactivity of the mentalis muscle, this is also known as the ‘orange peel’ effect.

Due to poor posture and ageing, the neck muscles become tighter and more pronounced. The neck is often over looked, but prominent neck bands and wrinkles can age your appearance immensely.

Teeth grinding (also known as Bruxism) can lead to tension around the jaw, headaches and damage to the teeth. The increased use of the masseter muscles when grinding or clenching the teeth, causes them to grow dramatically in size creating a ‘boxy’, square jawline. By relaxing the masseter muscle we can prevent it from being over worked creating a slimmer jawline as well as helping to protect the teeth from grinding away. The results from treatment are life changing. This treatment is also beneficial to individuals who naturally have large masseter muscles.

If you feel like your lip disappears when you smile this may be the treatment for you. Often the lip muscle (orbicularis oris) over contracts causing the top lip to tuck under when smiling, we use wrinkle-relaxing injections to partially relax the muscle around the lip so more lip is shown when smiling. This results in a fuller and more lifted looking lip without the use of dermal filler.
