Doctor-Led Anti-Wrinkle Injection Clinic Barnstaple
I provide anti-wrinkle injections from my clinic in Barnstaple, North Devon. As a qualified medical doctor, I carry out all consultations and treatments personally, ensuring a safe, professional and tailored approach for every patient.
If you are looking for anti-wrinkle injections in Barnstaple, my focus is always on achieving natural-looking results that leave you looking refreshed, not overdone.
I use these wrinkle reduction treatments to treat the most common areas of concern, including forehead lines, frown lines (between the eyebrows) and crow’s feet (around the eyes).
Treatment is tailored to your individual facial features to ensure natural-looking, balanced results.
Wrinkle relaxing injections are one of the most effective non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments for reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Whenever you laugh, frown or squint, your facial muscles contract and your skin creases. As you get older your skin loses its elasticity and those creases deepen. Frown lines between your eyes, forehead lines and so called "crow's feet" can make you look tired and angry. By temporarily relaxing these facial muscles, this treatment can smooth out those lines, restoring a more youthful, less stressed expression to your face.
What is injectable wrinkle treatment?
This treatment uses a natural protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. You may commonly hear this type of treatment referred to as “Botox”, which is one of the many brand names for botulinum toxin. The protein was initially used for the treatment of various neurological conditions, including cerebral palsy and eye squints. When used cosmetically, it works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals responsible for the contraction of small facial muscles that create expression lines, helping to soften the appearance of wrinkles while maintaining a natural look.
Is the treatment painful?
It's very rare for treatment to be painful. Most patients experience a feeling of slight discomfort during the treatment.
What results can I expect?
You can expect a softer, more refreshed appearance, with a reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Results typically begin to appear within 2–3 days, with full results visible after 2–3 weeks. The effects usually last around 3–4 months, depending on the individual.
My aim is always to achieve a natural result, maintaining expression while softening unwanted lines.
Who is suitable for the treatment?
Starting in our late twenties, facial lines and wrinkles begin to appear that affect not just your appearance, but also your self-esteem. By smoothing out those lines this treatment can help you restore a more youthful, less stressed expression to your face. It can work as well for men as it does for women.
Who is not suitable for the treatment?
Anyone who is pregnant, breast feeding or suffering from severe neuromuscular disorders or blood coagulation disorders are not suitable for treatment.
Will it interact with medication that I am taking?
You must ensure that your doctor is aware of any medications you are taking, especially aminoglycoside antibiotics (gentamicin, neomycin), aspirin, anti-inflammatories, Gingko Biloba and St John's Wort.
Are there any side effects?
Over the past several years, a large amount of clinical evidence has supported the effectiveness and safety of this treatment in all its uses. It is approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for cosmetic eradication for wrinkles on the face and for the treatment of hyperhidrosis (excessive perspiration). However, side effects can occur but are rare. The most significant complication is a temporary drooping of the eyelid (<1% risk) or eyebrow. This is a result of local spread of the medication at the injection site and can be minimised by accurate dosing.
