Anti Wrinkles
Anti-wrinkle injections are a revolution in non-invasive facial rejuvenation. At Bare Esthetique, we offer this treatment in a comfortable and safe environment. Treatments only take approximately 20 minutes and provide smoother skin for 4 to 6 months, with visible results in 2 weeks. Treatments involve an injection of a natural, purified protein to relax the muscles responsible for wrinkles. Wrinkles occur in the skin as a result of ageing, sun damage, smoking, movement and gravity, and are often caused by contraction of the underlying facial muscles used during facial expression.

Are anti-wrinkle injections painful?
A small pin-prick sensation can be felt with each injection, but the procedure is very quick and easy.
How many units do I need? Can this ever change?
The dosage required varies greatly from person to person. This will be determined in your initial consultation. The dosage amount may also change over time depending on lifestyle factors, age and desired result.
Do men need more anti-wrinkle injections than women?
Generally speaking, men have stronger facial muscles than women, so therefore require more anti-wrinkle injections to achieve a satisfying result. Our Injectors will perform an assessment to analyse the strength of your facial muscles and the amount of dosage required.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
Occasionally, a tiny pinpoint bruise may appear at the site of the injections. This can be covered with make-up if needed. There is usually some transient redness and swelling of the treated area (similar to a mosquito bite), and this usually lasts for less than half an hour after the treatment.
Can I resume normal activity after the treatment?
Normal daily activities may be resumed after the treatment. However, it is best to not lie down or touch the treated areas for 4 hours. Exercise should be avoided for 24 hours post treatment.
When will I start to notice the results of the treatment?
The effects of anti-wrinkle injections are generally seen after one to two weeks. Over time, you will notice a gradual relaxation of the muscles treated. In some patients, this can start at two to three days, but may take up to two weeks to be very noticeable.
