Anti-wrinkle Botox
Are you looking for discrete and natural ways to improve your appearance?
Does this sound familiar?
- You’ve started to notice fine lines and wrinkles in your forehead when you express your self
- You’ve started to get crow’s feet when you smile
- You have an event coming up where you want to look great
- You are looking to freshen up your face to soften the aging process
The you’ve come to the right place.
Wandsworth Physiotherapy and Osteopathy have teamed up with Wandsworth Aesthetics to provide aesthetic services such as anti-wrinkle treatment, dermal filler, micro needling and cosmetic acupuncture to help people with their appearance and to feel better about the way they look and feel.
Our facial appearance is partly predetermined due to our genetics, but is also influenced by our exposure to sunlight, pollution, and by things such as smoking and a poor diet. As we age the muscles in our face create lines and wrinkles in the skin that can lead to the signs of ageing. Botox injections in Wandsworth can help soften the appearance the lines and wrinkles.
What is BOTOX?
Botulinum toxin is produced by bacteria and acts by interrupting nerve signals to the muscle which will temporarily block muscle movement. It is a prescription only medicatio that needs to be prescribed by your treating practitioner after a face to face consultation. The effect of a BOTOX treatment may last 3 months or more.
Is there a reason why I shouldn’t have Botox?
There may be. You should not have Botox injections if you are allergic to Botox or any of its excipients or if you have myasthenia gravis, Eaton-Lambert syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. You might also want to avoid treatment if you have a history of Bell’s palsy, bleeding disorders, or taking NSAIDs, aspirin, vitamin A, St John’s wort, ginkgo biloba or taking any aminoglycoside antibiotics. Speak to your therapist regarding any issues you may have.
You should also avoid treatment if you have active Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease (thyroid problems) rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, lupus, scleroderma, vasculitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, vitiligo or psoriasis.

What areas can be treated with Botox?
The most common areas treated are the upper face – forehead and frown lines above the eyes (glabella) as well as the lines to the sides of the eye known as the crow’s feet. Other areas can be treated such as Marionette lines, smoker’s lines around the lips or the armpits to control excessive sweating and the the jaw muscles to slim the face and help with jaw pain. You can discuss the areas you want treated in your consultation.
Is the Botox treatment painful?
You will be having multiple injections into the skin on the face so he may feel some discomfort. The needles used during the process are very small and fine and it should be no different to receiving facial acupuncture.
Are there any side-effects to Botox?
Common side-effects include redness, bruising and mild swelling. You may also have a slight headache after the treatment and there may be some asymmetry to the face after the treatment. It can take up to 2 weeks for the treatment to take effect. Sometimes you can have a Spock brow.
Less common side effects include brow ptosis and eyelid ptosis. Rare side-effects include blurred or double vision, infection and any allergic reaction. You will be monitored after the appointment to make sure there is no allergic reaction and we have adrenaline and other life-saving equipment on site.
What happens next?
You should aim to keep the treated muscles active for a few hours after your treatment by smiling and frowning and avoid extremes of hot or cold (including sauna), excessive sunlight exposure, vigorous exercise, lying down or leaning over for 4-6 hours.
Will I need ongoing treatment?
Nobody needs ongoing treatment; however, the treatment effect will wear off over 3-6 months and the facial muscles will start to move again. If you were happy with the effects of your previous treatment and you can move the muscles of the face again you will need a further treatment at this point.
