Wrinkle Injections have become the most popular aesthetic procedure both in the UK and worldwide due to the anti-ageing results they produce. They are most commonly used to treat dynamic wrinkles in the upper third of the face, particularly the crows’ feet and frown lines which are often the first signs of the ageing process.

Wrinkle Injections work by temporarily ‘freezing’ the nerves that stimulate the muscles that are used when we make facial expressions. These muscles become weaker or inactive and, as a result, the overlying skin becomes smoother and lines and wrinkles gradually appear much softer.

Wrinkle Injections are a chemical produced by the Clostridium Botulinum bacteria. It is a protein derivative of the toxin, which, when injected into a muscle causes it to become weakened or inactivated. It stops the muscle from functioning by blocking neuromuscular transmission i.e. stops the chemical messages from the nerve to the muscle.

Wrinkle Injections have now been used safely for over 20 years for the treatment of a wide range of medical conditions, including one of its first medical uses, the treatment of eye muscle disorders or strabismus. It is now used for the treatment of excessive sweating, bladder problems, migraine and severe neck spasms, to just name a few.

In 1992, an ophthalmologist treating patients with severe eye spasms noticed that botulinum toxin was also smoothing the skin surrounding the eye and this sparked the usage of this product as an aesthetic treatment. Since then, Wrinkle Injections have undergone rigorous clinical testing and it is a very safe and highly effective procedure, targeting muscle movement that is causing our skin to become creased and lined as our collagen and elastin production slows down.

What happens during a Wrinkle Injection treatment?

The process takes about 10 to 15 minutes. First, we will ask you to make various expressions to observe who the facial muscles work. Then the product is injected into various points in the target area using an extremely fine needle.

Are there any side effects to Wrinkle Injections?

Immediately after your procedure there may be slight swelling and redness at the injection sites, but this will usually resolve itself in two to four hours.

More serious complications are rare, and this product has been well tested. Occasionally, you may experience a temporary drooping of the eyelid, but this is very rare and will usually resolve itself within a few weeks. In extremely rare cases, patients can develop an allergy to the treatment, or some patients may not respond to the treatment.

Are the results of a Wrinkle Injection treatment immediate?

Wrinkle Injections work by making the facial muscles weaker or inactive which causes the overlying skin to become smoother. This takes a while to take effect and you’ll see the full results between seven and 14 days.

How long will be Wrinkle Injections last?

Depending on the individual and the area treated, results of your Wrinkle Injections should last between three and four months before you require a top-up.

Will I look unnatural after Wrinkle Injections?

The aim of any anti-ageing procedure is to subtly refresh your appearance without making you look drastically different or it noticeably that you’ve had something done. Wrinkle Injections are technique dependent, so it is essential you choose an aesthetic practitioner who is skilled and experienced in creating a beautifully naturally rejuvenation that still allows you to be as expressive as normal.

I have been living with scarring above my upper lip, as a result of electrolysis treatment 25 years ago, in the form of a deep vertical line and small indentations in the skin. I sought help from Wimpole Aesthetics, and from the moment that I entered the small, personal clinic I was totally put at ease and welcomed by the extremely professional and friendly team. I received a course of Mesotherapy and Dermapen treatment and am absolutely delighted with the results. I had almost given up on ever having smooth line-free skin above my upper lip again. I highly recommend letting Wimpole Aesthetics take care of you.

Having lived in Australia for over 10 years, my skin had suffered mild sun-damage and had developed a lot of discolouration on my face in particular. Also, as I approached the age of 40, I noticed a lot of wrinkles appearing! I decided to have Microdermabrasion treatment and the improvements after just 3 treatments were extremely encouraging. I have booked a further 2 treatments in coming months and I am so excited about seeing further benefits to the look and texture of my skin.

I have nothing but praise for the team at the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre in London. I had been very nervous about having my Smart Lipo treatment last year, however, Dr Berkowitz was highly professional at all times and provided me with great advice and treatment. I was delighted with the results that were achieved during the procedure and it has left me feeling so much more confident about my body. I would certainly recommend the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre to anybody considering this procedure or a similar aesthetic treatment.

I had read about Thermage Skin Rejuvenation in a beauty magazine and decided to do some additional research on the internet. I found the website for Wimpole Aesthetics and contacted them discreetly via their online forms. Within a matter of minutes, I had a response from the receptionist at the clinic and she explained a little more about the procedure. I decided to book a private consultation to see Doctor Berkowitz and a few weeks later I had my skin tightening treatment. It was a great success and I’m so much happier with the general appearance and feel of my skin. The wrinkling around my eyes and on my neck is much improved and, as clichéd as it sounds, I feel years younger.

After years of worry about my “saddlebags”, I found Dr Berkowitz at Wimpole Aesthetics. He was extremely professional, but at the same time extremely friendly and answered all of my questions about the Vaser Lipo procedure. It has been 6 weeks since the procedure and I am so happy with how my body is looking. I also cannot forget to mention his wife Carol and nurses Jackie and Christina – they are brilliant!

Tina, LondonVaser Lipo fat reduction treatment

I read about the new Vaser Lipo treatment in a men’s magazine and was instantly interested. As Dr Berkowitz was one of the only specialists in the country providing the treatment, it was a natural progression to visit him for a consultation at the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre. I found his advice and knowledge first-class and his staff made me feel very at ease. As such, I went ahead with the treatment and, in the end, a combination of the Vaser Lipo and Smart Lipo techniques were used to treat me. There has been no looking back since and my dream of having a six-pack has finally come true!

I recently had Vaser Lipo on several areas of my body… my stomach, arms and chin. I found the entire process painfree and I am thoroughly enjoying the remarkable improvements to my body shape.

Charlotte Cole, FarnboroughVaser Lipo body contouring treatment

I found that no matter how often I trained or how strictly I dieted, I could not shift the layer of fat around the bottom of my stomach – therefore leaving me with a bulge which I found most unattractive. Not keen on liposuction, I had spent a lot of time researching alternative methods of getting rid of my unwanted fat, and by chance, I stumbled across Vaser Lipo. I booked in for a free consultation with Dr Berkowitz at the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre in London and after a friendly and honest assessment, I went ahead with the treatment. I saw instant results, however, the real changes occurred in the 4 – 12 weeks following the procedure. A huge thanks to all of the staff at the clinic for enabling me to achieve the look and body that I have always wanted!
