Our anti wrinkle procedure
Before you come in for your anti wrinkle treatment, a member of our friendly team will assess and discuss with you which areas you would like targeted by the injections and what you want to achieve through the treatment. During the procedure, the target areas are first cleaned before being injected using a very fine needle. Multiple injections in different places can be made in just one session.
Post procedure, you will be given aftercare instructions to ensure the treatment results are maximised. In most cases, guests will start to see results in 2/3 days and the full effect in around 2 to 3 weeks. This can include improving the overall symmetry and fullness of the face, as well as reducing the visibility of wrinkles giving the appearance of youthfulness. Our aesthetic services are located in Chester, Liverpool, and Wirral.
