Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of ageing, but for many people they appear earlier or deeper than they would like. At Skin Complete Medical Aesthetics in Newry, our anti-wrinkle treatments offer a subtle, medically-led way to soften the lines that form through years of frowning, smiling and squinting, helping you look refreshed rather than “done”.
What anti-wrinkle treatments address
Anti-wrinkle injections are most commonly used to soften dynamic lines, the creases that appear when the muscles of the face contract. These typically include frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines, and crow’s feet around the eyes. By gently relaxing the underlying muscle, the overlying skin is smoothed and new lines are given the chance to soften over time.
How the treatment works
A small amount of product is injected into specific muscles using a very fine needle. Over the following days the treated muscles relax, which softens the appearance of the lines they create. Because the treatment is targeted, a skilled practitioner can preserve natural movement and expression while still achieving a visibly smoother result.
What to expect at your appointment
Every treatment at Skin Complete begins with a thorough consultation. We discuss your concerns, assess your facial movement, review your medical history and explain what is realistic for you. The treatment itself usually takes around 10 to 15 minutes. Most clients describe the sensation as a quick, mild pinch, and no anaesthetic is normally required.
Downtime and aftercare
One of the reasons this treatment is so popular is the minimal downtime. You can usually return to your day straight away. We will ask you to avoid rubbing the area, strenuous exercise, and lying down flat for a few hours, and we provide full written aftercare advice so you know exactly what to do.
When you will see results, and how long they last
Results are not instant. You will typically begin to notice a difference within three to five days, with the full effect visible at around two weeks. Results generally last three to four months, after which the treatment can be repeated. Many clients find that with regular treatment, lines become softer over time.
Safe, medically-led care in Newry
Anti-wrinkle injections are a medical treatment and should always be carried out by a trained, qualified practitioner after a proper consultation. At Skin Complete, your treatment is delivered in a clinical, professional setting, and we will always talk you through the possible risks and side effects honestly before you go ahead.
Areas we can treat
The most popular areas for anti-wrinkle treatment are the three upper-face zones: the frown lines between the brows, the horizontal lines across the forehead, and the crow’s feet that fan out from the corners of the eyes. During your consultation we may also discuss more advanced areas, such as fine lines on the nose, a downturned mouth, or a dimpled chin. Every face is different, so we tailor the areas treated, and the amount used, to your individual features and the result you are hoping for.
A natural result that suits your age and features
Our philosophy is simple: you should look like a refreshed version of yourself, never frozen or altered. We take a conservative approach, especially for first-time clients, because it is always easier to add a little more at your review than to undo an overly heavy result. For some clients, anti-wrinkle treatment is also used to help with concerns such as jaw clenching or teeth grinding, which we are happy to discuss in person where appropriate. Whatever your reason for considering treatment, an honest, no-pressure consultation is always the first step.
