Anti wrinkle injections are a safe and effective way to reduce dynamic facial lines, typically on the forehead and around the eyes. They work by blocking the nerve signals to certain muscles, helping soften lines and allowing overlying skin to smooth and relax.


Dr Matla is an expert in this field and practises both Aesthetics and General Medicine at his clinic in Newcastle. He is highly trained and regulated by the CQC.


Botox

BOTOX is a nonsurgical treatment that relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines. This type of injectable is also used to treat neck spasms and eye twitching. It is one of the most widely recognized anti-wrinkle injections Newcastle treatments, and repeated studies have shown that it is safe and effective.


Before the procedure, a doctor or nurse will rub an anesthetic cream on the area to numb it. Then, small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected into the targeted muscles. This type of injectable is a highly-regulated medication and must be prescribed by a doctor or dentist, or by a nurse who is on a prescriber register to show that they meet set standards of training, skill and insurance. These practitioners must also be licensed to perform cosmetic procedures.


Dysport

Dysport is a non-invasive injectable that smooths out wrinkles and fine lines and can take years off of your face. It is a neuromodulator that is similar to Botox in that it uses botulinum toxin to temporarily relax the muscles that cause wrinkles. It also works to prevent future wrinkles from forming. Dysport is safe and effective when administered by a qualified medical professional.


Like other injectables, there may be slight bruising and tenderness around the injection site. However, these effects usually fade within a day or two. If you are interested in erasing wrinkles and fine lines, contact Revitalize You to set up a consultation.


Xeomin

Xeomin is an FDA-approved neuromodulator that works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It works much like Dysport and Botox, but is less diluted with additives. It is injected into the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles and prevents them from contracting. The resulting reduction in lines and wrinkles is very noticeable, even to untrained eyes. Unlike filler, which is injected into the skin to add volume, Xeomin is an injectable that doesn’t require any anesthesia or pain medication. Usually, a session lasts between 10 and 20 minutes.


Xeomin is most effective at treating deep wrinkles around the eyes and forehead, such as glabellar lines (the elevens) and crow’s feet. It also works well for reducing the appearance of wrinkles around the mouth. However, it is important to consult a qualified cosmetic surgeon before choosing the best wrinkle-reversing and prevention treatments. The right cosmetic surgeon can help you achieve the results you want without a lot of downtime.


Juvederm

Juvederm is a dermal filler that provides a younger appearance to the face by smoothing wrinkles, adding volume, and reducing dark spots in the skin. It uses hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that can be found in high quantities in the skin. The filler is injected into the areas of the face that need rejuvenation and results can last up to two years or more.


The anti-wrinkle injections are painless and safe. The hyaluronic acid in Juvederm will begin to bind with water in the area immediately after it is injected, creating more youthful and healthier skin. In addition, it supports the formation of new collagen that will reduce fine lines and creases from within.


Patients can choose from a wide range of Juvederm products to suit their needs. The different formulas of the filler have different hyaluronic acid particle sizes to treat different areas of the face. All of the Juvederm products contain a local anesthetic, lidocaine, to make the treatment comfortable and painless.
