There are many benefits of anti-wrinkle injections; the biggest ones are that they are convenient and affordable options to rejuvenate your skin. They are extremely effective in removing, and significantly improving, fine lines, deeply set wrinkles and firming skin that has lost its elasticity. These injections essentially reverse the prominent signs of ageing non-invasively and are naturally broken down by the body – naturally.

Yes, of course! Botox® injections are safe when administered by professionals. At DestinationSkin, we live by the highest clinical standards and when undergoing one of our anti-wrinkle treatments, it will always be performed by a qualified member of staff. All our medical injectors are members of either the General Medical Council (GMC) or Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) – which are well-established, reputable boards in the medical industry.

Side effects of anti-wrinkle injections include: bruising, bleeding and mild swelling. This is perfectly normal, and to be expected due to the nature of the treatment. This should subside in a matter of hours for some people, but can last 48 hours in others.

We price all our Botox® treatments by the number of areas and who is performing them.
1 area, administered by a medical injector is £184. 2 areas – £258, 3 areas – £310 and 4 areas – £363. If you want your treatment conducted by a senior medical injector: 1 area is £205, 2 areas is £310, 3 areas – £384 and 4 areas – £447. For a medical director, the price would be: 1 area for £237, 2 areas – £352, 3 areas – £415 and 4 areas – £489.

Some of our most popular treatment areas are:

• Botox® for forehead lines – Known as frown lines and glabellar lines
• Botox® injections for crow’s feet and bags under the eyes – These lines are made from age-related loss of elasticity and repetitive facial expressions
• Botox® for jowls – Jowls is the name of sagging, loose skin beneath the chin and jawline. Botox® can provide a subtle lift of this area.

This treatment can also work on lined, drooping skin on the neck and is delivered into the platysma bands (the two vertical muscles either side of your throat) to re-establish a firmer complexion.

The first ever treatment of Botox® can last around 3 months and the second treatment between 4-6 months. The first treatment often lasts less time than the rest, as your body may break down the filler quickly, especially if you have a fast metabolism or strong muscles. Also, the first time you get anti-wrinkle injections your body has not been conditioned to the filler, meaning the brain compensates by making more of neurotransmitters, like acetylcholine, that Botox® tries to inhibit. Your body becomes more receptive to the treatment after the first time and the effects can last for even longer (depending on the individual).
