Harpenden Skin Clinic in Hertfordshire offers two types of anti wrinkle injection: dermal fillers and Botox.
Dermal fillers are injections of hyaluronic acid that erase blemishes by rejuvenating the natural substances in the skin.
Botox is an injection of Botulinum Toxin that erases wrinkles by suppressing the movement of muscles in the face.
Both procedures can produce a naturally youthful appearance when performed by a skilled practitioner.
Anti wrinkle injections are quick, with little risk, and require no recovery period.

These anti wrinkle injections insert fillers containing the natural substance ‘hyaluronic acid’ into targeted areas of the body.
Hyaluronic acid makes the skin smooth and boosts the production of collagen, which in turn makes the skin firm and elastic. Both substances are involved in the natural healing processes of the skin and their production in the body decreases as we age, causing wrinkles.
Dermal fillers reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles and sagging by causing the skin to heal itself.
Botox is named after the Botulinum Toxin that this anti wrinkle procedure typically uses. The toxin blocks nerve signals to the muscles in the areas it is injected, making this a very sensitive treatment.
Lines and wrinkles formed through repetitive facial movement are dramatically reduced by suppressing muscle contraction.
At our Hertfordshire clinic, we have specialists trained in the application of Botox, who can make the results look natural.
As well as reducing signs of aging, Botox has the added benefit of treating conditions such as:
The first thing that you will need to do is book a consultation with one of the qualified practitioners at our Hertfordshire clinic. During this session, you can discuss the results you are hoping to achieve, and we can work out which course of treatment might best suit your individual needs.
Anti wrinkle injections do not take much time to administer. It is likely that the whole treatment can be completed in 15 to 30 minutes.
We will apply a mild anaesthetic to numb the injection site and any discomfort you do feel will be very minor. You will be free to leave immediately afterwards.
Results are instantaneous but will develop to their full effect over a period of weeks.
It is important to note that the results of anti wrinkle injections are not permanent and you will need repeat treatment in the future to maintain results. How long the results last is dependent on a variety of factors, including the area of the body treated, the amount injected and the individual themselves.
We will give you detailed instructions on aftercare after the procedure, but you are free to contact us with questions at any time.
We will also invite you to attend a follow-up appointment to track your recovery.
You may experience slight swelling, redness or bruising around the treatment area for around 48 hours. Botox may also cause some difficulty chewing, swallowing or articulating for a brief period, but this will soon pass.
