ANTI-AGEING
TREATMENT
Upper Face Anti-Ageing
As we raise our eyebrows, our forehead muscles contract causing horizontal lines in our forehead. These lines can often create a stressed or tired appearance. Anti-Ageing treatment can be used to prevent lines in the forehead developing/deepening or to soften existing lines.

10-14 DAYS

Neck & Platysmal Band/ Turkey Neck
Ageing around the jawline and neck can cause people to look significantly older than they actually are. Ageing causes loss of muscle tone and skin fat which can lead to the ‘turkey neck’ appearance. This treatment causes the jawline to look more defined and gives the appearance of a mini non-surgical face lift.
Risks & Complications
Possible mild injection-site bruising and swelling.

Jawline Slimming (for wide set jaws)
If you have a naturally wide-set jaw and desire a more oval or heart shaped face, this treatment can do just that. Additionally, this procedure can help with medical conditions such as Bruxism (grinding teeth).
Risks & Complications
Usually none, small risk of injection site swelling/bruising. Larger doses can make chewing more difficult.

Chemical Brow Lift
Ageing and excessive use of the eyebrow muscles can cause a ‘sagging’ look making the eyes look tired or sleepy. Anti-Ageing treatment can be injected just under the eyebrow to lift the skin up and open the eye.

Bunny Lines/ Nasalis

Gummy Smile/ Levator Labii Superioris
This is the phenomenon that the gums are exposed during smiling as the upper lip elevates too far above their upper teeth. This is often aggravated by a thin upper lip which contributes to the exposure of the upper gum. This treatment is complimented well with the lip filler treatment.
Risks & Complications
Possible mild injection-site bruising and swelling.
PROCEDURE TIME
45 MINUTES
ONSET
10-14 DAYS

Smoker’s Lines/ Perioral Lines/ Orbicularis Oris
These fine lines and wrinkles that appear above the lip are cause by the muscles around the mouth contracting like a purse string. Anti-Ageing injections can be used to relax these muscles, softening the appearance of these lines if they are early in their development. If the lines are present at rest it is more suitable to have the ‘Smoker’s Lines’ dermal filler treatment.
Risks & Complications
Possible mild injection-site bruising and swelling.
PROCEDURE TIME

ONSET
3-10 DAYS
DURATION

Downturned corners of the mouth/ Depressor Angului Oris (DAO)

Possible mild injection-site bruising and swelling.
