Results in
14 days
The toxin works slowly and doesn't reach its full potential for 14 days. You will not see a significant difference overnight, it will be a series of small, gradual improvements.
Recovery time
0
There is no down time from this procedure. The injection sites may be red for a small amount of time, but this normally resolves very quickly.
Duration of results
3-4 months
If you are new to toxins your first treatment may only last for around 12 weeks, however if you continue to have the area treated the results will continue to improve and will last longer.
Treatments per year
2 / 3
Initially treatment will be every 3-4 months, but most regular users of anti-wrinkle injections find that their results continue to last and that they only need to have the area treated every 6 months or so.
When not to have anti-wrinkle injections?
If you have a skin infection
If you’re unwell in any way
If you have a neuromuscular condition
If you’re taking certain medicines
If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding
Aftercare for anti wrinkle injections
You will not see a change straight away. It takes about 2 to 3 days to start working
Do not massage or rub your face for 3 days, or have a facial..
Avoid vigorous exercise, sunbathing (including using sun beds), and the sauna for 2 days.
Effects usually last for about 3 or 4 months.
If you have botulinum toxin injections again, you should wait at least 12 weeks.
Possible side effects of anti wrinkle injections?
The risks of receiving botulinum toxin injections are very small
when administered correctly by a suitably qualified practitioner (which we are).
You may experience redness, bruising or a small swelling at the injection site.
Some people may develop a headache and flu-like symptoms for the first 24 hours.
Uncommon side effects are:
A frozen look – you might not be able to move the muscles in your face if too much botulinum toxin is
injected, which is why we top up over the two sessions if higher doses are required.
Temporary drooping of an eyelid or eyebrow if the botulinum toxin moves into these muscles.
Our toxin of choice has very little migration in comparison to others, so this is extremely unlikely.
Very rarely serious complications can occur, such as serious allergic reaction.
We are prepared to help you should this situation arise.

So I've had anti wrinkle injections and fillers else where, then I found Oakridge Aesthetics. I'm so glad I did as I will never use another company, they are very professional, they know what you want when explained. They are very clean and the hygiene is exceptional. I look forward to returning. I highly recommend them.

Forehead
Forehead lines are the horizontal lines that run across the length of your forehead. These are common in people who lift their eyebrows often and will become significantly more visible and deeper when the eyebrows are actively being raised.
These lines are caused by a muscle called the frontalis, which spans the majority of your forehead. These muscles pull upwards against the force of the procerus in the frown area, and because of this it is not advisable to treat the frontalis without treating the frown. If the frontalis is relaxed and the frown is left with full power, the brow would be pulled downwards causing a very heavy and unnatural look.
Treating this area is another way to help ease tension headaches and is an area that is treated in our migraine treatment package.
