So what actually are wrinkle injections or Botulinum toxin? This substance was first discovered in 1895 and quite by chance was found to have muscle relaxing properties. The medicine has been used in aesthetics for several decades to reduce wrinkles mainly in the upper part of the face.
There are a few brands of botulinum available and at Blue Ribbon Aesthetics we use Bocouture which is a manufactured by Merz Aesthetics. The aim of the treatment is to reduce areas of concern such as frown lines, forehead lines and smile wrinkles otherwise known as crow’s feet.
All the pre-injection advice and post-injection advice will be given to you at your consultation.
Wrinkle injections tend to last around 3-4 months.
