Lines &Wrinkles
Over time, the skin loses its natural ability to bounce back like it used to.
Deep dynamic lines begin to appear, leaving lasting impressions on the skin.
Anti-wrinkle treatments (AKA BOTOX) aim to safeguard the skin from visible creases caused by repetitive movements and muscle contractions.

Is is right for me?
During your consultation, Dr Rachel will identify your skin goals. This will enable us to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you. Anti-wrinkle treatments may be suitable if you want to address fine lines and wrinkles. A bespoke treatment plan will be devised according to your desired treatment outcomes. It may be that this is not the right time for you to undergo anti-wrinkle treatment and alternative treatments may be suggested.
What is involved?
After an initial assessment to ensure suitability for the treatment, Dr Rachel will strategically map your face. A precise number of tiny injections of a purified protein (botulinum toxin) will be administered in the selected treatment area. This aims to gently relax specific facial muscles, temporarily diminishing expressive lines and wrinkles. The procedure is straightforward and swift, typically causing minimal discomfort.
Which areas can be treated?
At The Curated Clinic, Dr Rachel provides a range of anti-wrinkle treatments tailored to address various concerns, including:
Forehead: Reduce horizontal lines.
Frown: Minimize vertical lines between eyebrows.
Eyes: Alleviate fine lines around the eyes, commonly referred to as "crow's feet" or "smile lines."
Nose: Erase fine diagonal lines on the bridge of your nose, also known as "bunny lines."
Brow: Achieve evenness in brows or opt for a subtle brow lift to enhance symmetry.
Peri-oral: Target vertical lines around the lips.
Jawline/Masseter: Ideal for those who hold tension in their jaw, and may have enlarged Masseter muscles. Treatment allows for a softened look or enhanced jawline definition.
Gummy smile: Relax the elevation of the upper lip to reduce the visibility of gums while smiling.
Chin: Smooth the line between the bottom lip and the chin arch.
Downturned mouth: To lessen the effects of a ‘sad mouth’ by reducing the downpull of the muscles
Neck: Soften platysmal neck bands.
Underarms: Effective for excessive underarm sweating.
How Long until I see the results?
You should observe a decrease in your wrinkles within two weeks, resulting in a smoother appearance. These treatments are temporary, typically lasting around three to four months.
Do you offer a review?
A complimentary review is offered following all anti-wrinkle treatments.
This must be between 2-3 weeks after your initial treatment.
Having further dosing after this review window can result in an uneven effect as your mucles ‘wake up’ in a staggered fashion. There is also a risk of resistance to the product when treated outside of this timeframe.
