Anti-wrinkle Injection Treatments

Personalised treatments

Your wrinkle injection treatment depends on a series of factors such as your skin type, your age and the severity of your wrinkles. It also depends on whether you are having the procedure done as a preventative measure or as an anti-wrinkle treatment.  We offer all three available brands of wrinkle injections and we will advise a course of treatment that will deliver the best results for your specific requirements.

Excellent customer care

Your satisfaction is our top priority at Albany Medispa. Thus, for every wrinkle injection treatment you benefit from a free initial consultation and a complimentary post-treatment check up appointment two weeks after the treatment. This will ensure you are getting the best results and are pleased with your treatment.

In order to be effective, wrinkle injections must be applied in the right muscle, at the right depth, and in the right quantity. Our highly experienced practitioners have been trained to a very advanced level, have an extensive knowledge about facial muscles and keep up-to-date with the latest techniques.

How does is work?

Botox®, Dysport and Xeomin are all derivatives of the Botulinum Toxin Type A protein.  Botulinum injections temporarily reduces the action of the treated muscles, preventing them from moving. This relaxation of the muscles can result in softer lines or wrinkles, creating a refreshed, youthful look.

Treatment areas are:

• Frown lines

• Forehead lines

• Crows feet around the eyes

What does the treatment involve?

The treatment is quick and simple. It only takes 10-15 minutes, and the results appearing gradually over the following few days. Results can last for up to 3 or 4 months.

Are there any side effects?

This anti-ageing treatment is simple and has little to minor side effects. After the treatment, you may experience slight redness in the treated areas, this should go away within 15-20 minutes. Some people also experience a minor headache and bruising.
