ANTI-WRINKLE TREATMENTS

At Pom Pom Aesthetics , we provide anti-wrinkle injections to address fine lines, including frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines.

Treatments are offered to patients who are assessed as suitable following a thorough consultation with one of our experienced Aesthetic Nurses.

What Causes Wrinkles?

Wrinkles and facial lines develop due to a variety of factors, including aging, sun exposure, loss of skin elasticity, collagen breakdown, overactive facial muscles, and genetics. Lifestyle choices such as smoking, diet, and alcohol consumption can also accelerate the appearance of wrinkles.

At Pom Pom Aesthetics, our skilled team specializes in reducing and improving the appearance of facial wrinkles using safe and effective injection treatments designed to enhance your confidence and rejuvenate your look.

Wrinkle Relaxing Treatments

At Pom Pom, we are highly skilled in providing anti-wrinkle treatments, having spent more than eleven years building up our expertise and treating countless patients.

Anti-wrinkle treatments help you to look and feel more youthful by restoring freshness and minimising fine lines and wrinkles. Although this treatment will not eradicate deep static lines, it can help to soften them by temporarily preventing the muscles that caused them from functioning to their full extent.

Botulinum toxin has proven to be beneficial in cosmetic aesthetic treatments, such as diminishing frown lines, softening forehead lines and laughter lines at the corner of the eyes.

How is it given?

Using tiny needles, very small quantities of the safe toxin are injected into the muscles just under the skin, where wrinkles or lines are most worry-some. The protein (toxin) temporarily blocks the nerve signals, which are sent to the muscle, which then prevents the muscle from moving.

This effect lasts for about three to four months, and because the muscle cannot contract, it reduces the ability of wrinkles to form in that area, helping them to gradually decrease, or sometimes, to eventually disappear completely.

Which areas do we treat?

- Forehead lines (frontalis)

- Frown lines (glabella)

- Crow’s feet (lateral eye wrinkles / laughter lines)

- ‘Bunny lines’ – side of nose

- ‘Gummy smile’ (reducing upper lip and gum visibility when smiling or laughing)

- Jawline slimming / teeth clenching (Masseter muscles)

- ‘Marionette lines – (Down-turned / ‘sad’ mouth)

- Chin dimpling

- Smokers lines (possible to also have dermal filler to improve these)

- Eye-brow lift (eye opening)

- Neck lines and lift (Nefertiti lift)

- Facial asymmetry (due to congenital palsy or facial nerve injury)

How long do the results last?

Results usually begin to be felt after about 4 days, reaching their peak absorption at about 14 days. This peak is maintained for about 3 weeks, and so, after about 5 weeks the effects very gradually begin to diminish, until full movement is regained in 3 to 4 months. We will have a review of your areas treated at 14 days, and further photographs will be taken to ensure you are happy with the results.

Patients who have treatments 2 or 3 times a year may eventually find the results last longer between treatments, after a year or more of having consist botulinum toxin treatments. Combining this treatment with other aesthetic treatments and good skin care is essential for maintaining an effective anti-aging regime.

Is it safe? Does it hurt?

Literally, millions of people across the world have had these wrinkle relaxing injections, and the safety of our toxin is established, beyond doubt. Botulinum toxin has been used for decades, now, in many medical fields, to treat muscular problems such as spasms in cerebral palsy patients, for neck problems, such as cervical dystonia, and even for bladder problems, such as incontinence.

Each injection is virtually painless, with possible a tiny stinging sensation, The needles used are tiny, causing minimal bleeding or bruising. At Pom Pom, aesthetic botulinum toxin injections will not be given to pregnant or lactating women, nor to anyone who has an identified neurological medical condition, nor to anyone under the age of 18

What can I expect after treatment?

For the twenty-four hours following your treatment, we advise that you avoid strenuous exercise, a hot bath or alcohol, as these can cause an increase of blood flow to the areas injected and may cause some unwanted distribution or spread to adjacent areas. This is rare, however. Should you experience a headache, the best analgesia to use is paracetamol. After the injections, please try not to touch your face, nor apply make-up as this can possibly cause an infection, or by touching, physically push the toxin beyond the intended injection area. For an hour or so immediately after your treatment, we encourage you to use those muscles treated to encourage absorption of the toxin.

After about five to seven days, you will begin to realise you have reduced muscle activity in the areas treated , and this will continue until about the fourteenth day, when the effects of the toxin are at their maximum. We like to see you about 2 weeks after treatment, for a review, and to ensure the best result has been achieved for you? If a small number of additional injections are required, these are given as part of the original cost.

Due to a bigger muscle mass, men require about 30% more toxin to achieve the desired result, and as such, our prices for men and women slightly differ, to reflect this.

Are there side effects?

Side effects are relatively uncommon and always temporary? You may experience a little bruising or tenderness at an injection site, or rarely, a mild headache. When injecting close to the eye, there may be a very small chance (less than 1%) of developing a temporary drooping of the eyelid ( a ptosis), but this will wear off naturally.

Occasionally, it has been seen that patients develop an immunity to the effects of the toxin, due to the body developing anti-bodies, and this can mean the treatment may not work. This is rare and usually only affects those who have had several years of injection, allowing the body to develop immunity.

(Wrinkle Relaxing)

Many people worry about having a frozen face after having wrinkle-relaxing treatments. It was one of my biggest fears, but Penny assured me that my face had a small amount of movement, and yet I looked refreshed and younger. It was my first experience, and I was so happy, I will be back in three months time.
