Anti-Wrinkle Treatment

Smooth, Refreshed and Radiant Skin

At You & I, we believe in enhancing your natural beauty and helping you look as vibrant as you feel. Our anti-wrinkle injectable treatments, using trusted products like Botox® and Xeomin®, are a cornerstone of modern aesthetic medicine, designed to smooth away lines and restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

How They Work

Fine lines and wrinkles often form due to repetitive facial expressions over time – think frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases. Anti-wrinkle injectables work by gently relaxing the specific muscles responsible for these dynamic wrinkles. This temporary relaxation smooths out the skin above, reducing the appearance of existing lines and helping to prevent new ones from forming.

Botox® or Xeomin®?

Both Botox® and Xeomin® are purified forms of botulinum toxin type A, highly effective for cosmetic use. While similar in their mechanism, they have subtle differences and I can discuss with you during your consultation to determine the best option for your unique needs and desired results.

Benefits of Treatment

  • Smoother Skin: Significantly reduces the appearance of frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow's feet.

  • Refreshed Look: Helps you appear more rested and revitalised.

  • Preventative: Can help prevent deeper lines from developing over time.

  • Mesobotox, also known as Microbotox or "Skin Botox," is an innovative technique that focuses on revitalising the skin itself, rather than relaxing underlying muscles for expression lines.

    Unlike traditional anti-wrinkle injections that go into the muscle, Mesobotox involves multiple micro-injections of diluted [Botox/Xeomin] into the superficial layers of the skin. This unique approach helps to:

    • Refine pore size

    • Reduce oil production

    • Smooth fine lines and improve skin texture

    • Give an overall glow and tightening effect

    It’s perfect for achieving a refreshed, radiant complexion with no impact on your facial expressions, making it ideal for the face, neck, and décolletage.

  • Did you know anti-wrinkle injectables can also be used for subtle body contouring? By precisely targeting and relaxing specific muscles, we can help refine certain body areas.

    Common applications include:

    • Calf Slimming: To create a more elongated and slender appearance of the lower legs.

    • Trapezius Slimming (Traptox): To relax overdeveloped shoulder muscles, which can help alleviate neck tension and create a more graceful neckline.

    This treatment offers a non-surgical approach to achieve a more balanced and aesthetic body silhouette.

    Benefits of Botox for Shoulder Trapezius:

    • Non-Surgical: It's a minimally invasive procedure, avoiding the risks and downtime associated with surgery.

    • Quick Procedure: Injections typically take 20-30 minutes.

    • Reduces Bulk and Contours: Gradually slims the shoulders, creating a more defined and graceful silhouette.

    • Relieves Tension: Effectively addresses chronic pain and stiffness.

    • Improves Posture: Can help achieve a more upright and elongated neck and shoulder line.

    • Minimal Downtime: Most people can resume normal activities immediately.

    • Results Last: Effects typically last 3-6 months.

  • Beyond cosmetic enhancements, anti-wrinkle injectables offer a highly effective solution for Hyperhidrosis, a condition characterised by excessive sweating. If you suffer from uncontrollable sweating in areas like the underarms, this treatment can significantly improve your quality of life.

    By injecting a small amount of [Botox/Xeomin] into the affected area, the nerve signals that stimulate the sweat glands are temporarily blocked, greatly reducing sweat production. The results can last for several months, providing long-awaited relief and boosting your confidence.
