Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti ageing treatments have become increasingly popular at The Courtyard Clinic. Why not smooth away some fine lines and feel fresh and more youthful? We deliver the injections appropriately to each individual face as our ethos is that everyone is different. Your canvas may not be the same as someone else’s so we plan each and every injection, tailored best to suit your needs.

Here are some frequently asked questions Dr. Wilkinson and the team often get asked at the clinic:

What are antiwrinkle injections? : A neurotoxin derived from Clostridium Botulinum, an organism found in the natural environment.

Is it dangerous? : Not if provided by a medically trained practitioner, more than 6 million treatments are administered each year effectively.

Action? : It prevents and softens wrinkle lines, promoting a youthful glow. The injections work by relaxing the muscles in the face.

When should I start? Prevention is better than cure, so treatment should really start in your 20s if you want the best results long term (don’t worry if you are older it still works well).

Other uses? : A variety of medical conditions including excessive sweating and migraines also prevents people excessively grinding their teeth and other muscular disorders.

Longevity? : 3 to 6 months, the more you get it done the less frequent you will need it over time.

Costing? : Really this should be done case by case to ensure you get the right quantities you need, going cheap isn’t the best option. This is your face and the injections should be administered thoughtfully!

What happens if I don’t like it? : Once Botox wears off, you will go back to how you were before, both the wrinkles and the aging process will come back too! Botox is not for everyone, you can try it and see but most people we treat absolutely love it and wouldn’t be without it now. The aim is to get the “oh you look well” remark.
