Overtime lines may develop on your face because of many factors, such as ageing, sun exposure, dehydration, smoking, gravity and poor nutrition. They are even created by your own facial expressions due to constantly contracting from laughing and smiling. The purpose of anti-wrinkle injections is to offer you non-surgical and minimally invasive solutions to help you improve and maintain the appearance of your skin. This anti-wrinkle reduction procedure works best for wrinkles caused by muscle overactivity such as forehead creases, frown lines and crow’s feet. This is the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the world.

At Empire Clinic, we believe that the fundamental basis for a successful aesthetic procedure is an in-depth consultation with a skilled qualified practitioner to assess your needs and develop a bespoke personal treatment plan so that you achieve outstanding natural looking results.
Wrinkle relaxing injections, are therapeutic agents derived from the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum, also known as Botulinum Toxin Type A. Normally, your brain sends electrical messages to your muscles so that they can contract and move. Wrinkle relaxing injections work by blocking this message and, as a result, the muscle is temporarily unable to contract, giving the face a more relaxed appearance. The wrinkles become smoother or disappear altogether.
Patients with hyperhidrosis (intense sweating) also can temporarily remedy their disorder with Wrinkle relaxing injections. The product is injected into areas like the under arms and backs of knees or palms of the hands, blocking the sweat glands which cause the excessive sweating.
Here is some essential information about the treatment and what to expect before, during and after your visit with us.
At Empire Clinic, nothing is more important to us than your health, safety and wellbeing. During your initial consultation, we discuss in depth what your wants and needs are and make a plan on how we can achieve that for you. We also talk through your medical history to make sure there aren't any potential contraindications. If you have any qualms or questions of your own, this appointment provides a great opportunity to ask away.
Anti wrinkle injections involve minimal discomfort therefore it does not involve the use of numbing. Your aesthetic nurse will request you to make facial expressions like frowning to determine and mark the location of facial muscles. They will then inject a tiny amount of Botox into the target muscles. The number of injections may vary by treatment, but around 16 are generally used. The entire process takes just 10 to 30 minutes, which means you can have a Botox injection during lunch break and return to work in the afternoon.
Some patients develop slight redness at the injection site, but the redness usually clears within 15 minutes or so. Still, you should avoid touching the injection site for at least 60 minutes. Since Botox injections do not typically produce immediate results, you will begin to see tangible results anywhere from a few days to two weeks after treatment. Depending on the part of body treated, results could last 3-6 months. Follow-up injections are necessary to maintain the desired effect.
Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to relax the muscles mostly in the upper third of your face:
Anti-wrinkle injections can also be used to relax muscles in the lower face and neck:
Anti-wrinkle injections can also be used to decrease excessive sweating:
Wrinkle relaxing injections have an excellent safety profile with over 2.5 million users to date across the UK, France, Italy, Spain and Germany. The doses are very small and the risks are minimal. If any do occur, they’re temporary and just mild to moderate.
We cannot stress enough how important is it for Wrinkle relaxing injections to be performed by doctors and nurses with appropriate qualifications and expertise in a clinical setting.
Some patients report that anti wrinkle injections feel like a pinch. Very thin needles are used therefore discomfort is minimal. Your specialist may use ice to numb the treatment area. Or, if you are concerned about discomfort, your specialist may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment.
The procedure is very quick with the consultation part of your treatment taking the longest. Most appointments are around 20 minutes long.
Anti-wrinkle injections only require one treatment to be effective. The treatment usually begins working one to seven days later. Depending on the problem being treated, the effect may last three months or longer. To maintain the effect, you’ll need regular follow-up injections.
You may begin to notice improvement within 24 to 48 hours, although for some it may take up to a week. Your results may last 3-6 months for moderate to severe frown lines. Remember that results vary from patient to patient though, so your medical practitioner will plan your next appointment based on your results and aesthetic goals.

Tell your nurse or doctor if you’ve had any type of Wrinkle relaxing injections within the past four months. Also let them know if you take muscle relaxants, sleeping aids or allergy medications. If you take blood thinners, you may need to stop taking them several days before your injection to reduce your risk of bleeding or bruising.
There is no downtime following anti-wrinkle injections. You can return to your normal activities right after the procedure. Generally, on the day you get Wrinkle relaxing injections, it’s a good idea to:

I had another fantastic visit to Empire on Thursday. This time I had a combination of microdermabrasion and Hydrodermabrasion to clear my skin. Last time I had a derma-pen facial. I’ve been going to Empire for around two years and my skin has improved so much. Will and Carmen are lovely and the whole experience is very professional and safe. I can’t recommend enough.

Hydrodermabrasian facial recommended. Samantha was very nice and made me feel at ease. She talked me through the treatment before and during the procedure as well as providing details of aftercare. My skin looked brighter, more hydrated and felt softer after the treatment. The salon is immaculate. The treatment felt like an all round luxurious experience from start to finish.

I had my lips done on Tuesday and it was my first time so I was very nervous. Carmen was amazing as she talked me through how it would be done etc. I loved the fact I didn’t just need to sign a form and get started as she went through all the things that could go wrong face to face which I preferred. Always asked if I was okay and didn’t rush the procedure. Very nice women and would recommend. Also in love with my new lips

I had my micro bladed eyebrow colour boost yesterday by Carmen, as usual she was very chatty, professional and put me entirely at ease. I trust her completey and wouldn't go anywhere else to have this done. The salon has been revamped and is spotlessly clean and adherent to covid regulations and makes you feel very safe. Highly recommended.
