Anti-Wrinkle Treatments at Skin Medical

Speak to us about our Anti-Wrinkle Treatments at Skin Medical

How Do Anti-Wrinkle Treatments Work?

Ageing is a natural process that affects the skin by reducing collagen and elastin production—two proteins vital for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. 

At Skin Medical, we offer advanced anti-wrinkle treatments designed to rejuvenate your skin, reduce visible signs of ageing, and enhance overall skin quality. These treatments can be tailored to meet your individual needs, whether it’s diminishing fine lines around the eyes, smoothing out deep wrinkles on the forehead, or restoring volume to sunken cheeks.

Discover how our personalised anti-wrinkle treatments can help you achieve a more youthful and radiant appearance. Contact Skin Medical today to schedule your consultation.

Botulinum Toxin Injections

For individuals seeking more immediate and noticeable results, injectable treatments are a popular option at Skin Medical. There are many brands that fall under what is commonly known as “Botox”. In addition to Botox, there is DySport(Azzalure) and alluzience.

Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow’s feet. By relaxing these muscles, Botox effectively smooths out wrinkles and prevents them from deepening over time, offering a refreshed and youthful appearance.

At Skin Medical we will utilise the product that we feel will best suit your individual needs.

HA fillers and collagen stimulators may be suitable

Dermal fillers provide an effective solution for restoring volume and contour to the face.

These injectable gels, typically made from hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials, are used to plump areas that have lost volume due to age-related fat and collagen depletion. Common target areas include nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and hollowed cheeks, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated look.

Collagen stimulating fillers work slightly differently again to target areas which may be hampered by the ageing process. They can be used to improve skin quality and restore firmness to the skin by promoting the body to produce more collagen.

Non invasive options for wrinkle treatment

At Skin Medical, we offer a range of effective treatments to help you combat wrinkles and maintain a youthful appearance. Here are some of the most accessible and non-invasive options:

Topical Creams and Serums

These treatments are designed to penetrate the skin and target specific signs of ageing. They are among the most convenient options for wrinkle reduction and skin rejuvenation.

Our Skin Treatments

Retinoids

Derived from vitamin A, retinoids are highly effective in reducing wrinkles. They stimulate collagen production and accelerate cell turnover, improving skin texture and minimising fine lines and wrinkles.

Peptides

Short chains of amino acids, peptides are excellent at slowing the appearance of ageing. They communicate with skin cells to promote collagen synthesis and enhance skin firmness.

Antioxidants

Vitamins C and E are crucial in protecting the skin from
oxidative stress and environmental damage. These
antioxidants help preserve your skin’s youthful appearance.

Our Anti-wrinkle Botox Reviews

 

This is my third time at Dr Sabina’s Skin Medical Clinic and I can honestly say that the level of care and treatment I receive is always nothing short of amazing. I originally presented with atrophy in my left upper thigh and Dr Sabika very kindly fixed my leg and filled the area of atrophy with Maili filler. She is truly the best in the business when it comes to all things injectables and beauty. She also takes a particular interest in you as an individual and always ensures you feel comfortable before proceeding with any procedure. Thank you so much to Sabika and the team for quite literally returning my confidence and making me feel like I’m in safe hands. If you are interested in Botox, fillers or other injectables, Dr Sabika truly is the best there is!

Laser and Energy-Based Treatments

Laser resurfacing and energy-based treatments harness the power of light or radiofrequency energy to rejuvenate the skin from within.

Fractional Laser Resurfacing: This advanced treatment uses microscopic laser beams to create controlled thermal injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue remodelling. It effectively smooths wrinkles, improves skin texture, and revitalises your overall complexion.

Radiofrequency Treatments: These treatments deliver heat energy to the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen synthesis and tightening lax skin. This non-invasive procedure is particularly effective for addressing mild to moderate skin laxity and can be customised to target specific areas of concern, such as the face, neck, or décolletage.

Discover the rejuvenating benefits of laser and energy-based treatments at Skin Medical. Contact us today to schedule your consultation and find out how we can help you achieve a firmer, more youthful appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

All of the questions you need to ask about Anti-wrinkle treatments

Are anti-wrinkle treatments permanent?

Most anti-wrinkle treatments provide temporary results that require maintenance sessions to sustain. The duration of results varies depending on the treatment type and individual factors such as skin condition and lifestyle.

How long do the results of injectable treatments last?

Injectable treatments like Botox and dermal fillers typically offer results that last several months to a year, depending on the product used and individual metabolism. Regular maintenance sessions are necessary to sustain results over time.

Are anti-wrinkle treatments suitable for all skin types?

While many anti-wrinkle treatments are suitable for various skin types, it is essential to consult with Dr Sabika Karim to determine the most appropriate treatment based on individual skin concerns, sensitivities, and medical history.

How much do anti-wrinkle injectables hurt?

The level of discomfort during anti-wrinkle injectable treatments varies among individuals. Some may experience mild discomfort, while others may find the procedure relatively painless. Dr Sabika may use numbing cream or ice to minimise discomfort during injections.

What is the recommended aftercare?

Aftercare instructions typically include avoiding strenuous activities, excessive sun exposure, and touching or rubbing the treated area for a specified period. Patients may also be advised to apply ice packs to reduce swelling and follow specific skincare procedures tailored to their treatment.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects of anti-wrinkle treatments include redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These effects are usually mild and temporary, disappearing within a few days. Serious side effects are rare but may include infection, allergic reactions, or asymmetry.

When will results be visible?

Results of anti-wrinkle injections may become noticeable within a few hours to a week after treatment, with full effects appearing within two weeks. However, individual response times may vary based on factors like injection site, dosage, and skin type.

Can anti-wrinkle injections treat excessive sweating?

Yes, anti-wrinkle injections such as Botox can effectively treat hyperhidrosis, a condition characterised by excessive sweating. By blocking signals that stimulate sweat glands, these injections can reduce sweating in areas like the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet.

Can anti-wrinkle injections stop my teeth grinding?

Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to treat bruxism, a condition involving teeth grinding and jaw clenching. By injecting Botox into the masseter muscles, the muscle activity is temporarily reduced, protecting teeth from damage caused by grinding.

How much does the treatment cost?

The cost of anti-wrinkle treatments varies depending on the type of treatment and the area being treated. Injectable treatments typically range from a few hundred to several hundred pounds per session, while laser and energy-based treatments and chemical peels tend to cost more. Contact our team to learn more about our anti-wrinkle treatments. 

Can men have anti-wrinkle treatment?

Yes, anti-wrinkle treatments are suitable for both men and women seeking to reduce the visible signs of ageing and improve skin quality. Many more men have begun to receive anti-wrinkle treatments in recent years.

Menopause can cause the skin to become drier, thinner, and more sensitive. The skins cell turnover slows down, this is due to the body producing less estrogen. The production of fibroblasts also slow down. Fibroblasts produce collagen and elastin, you may notice you skin loses its plumpness and firmness.
