What is Antiwrinkle Treatment?

Botulinum toxin type A is a clinically approved injectable therapy that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. This mechanism reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, the lines formed by repeated facial expressions such as frowning, smiling, or squinting. Commonly treated areas include:

Forehead lines
Glabellar (frown) lines
Crow’s feet (lateral canthal lines)
Nasal “bunny” lines
Chin dimpling and jawline definition

Botulinum toxin may also be used for medical indications, such as the management of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), when clinically appropriate.

Clinical Approach at Oxona Healthcare

Consultation: Each patient undergoes a comprehensive assessment, including medical history and facial anatomy review, to determine suitability for treatment.
Technique: All procedures follow evidence-based protocols and utilise premium products. At Oxona Healthcare, we use Bocouture (Merz), a botulinum toxin type A preparation sourced from regulated suppliers.
Individualisation: Treatment plans are tailored to each patient’s unique facial dynamics and desired outcomes.
Aftercare: Patients receive clear guidance and follow-up support. A review appointment is routinely offered at two weeks to assess results and address any necessary adjustments.

Treatment Process

Duration: The procedure typically lasts 15–30 minutes and is performed with ultra-fine needles for precision and comfort.
Recovery: Most patients resume normal activities immediately post-treatment. Temporary side effects, such as mild redness, swelling, or tenderness, may occur but generally resolve within 24–48 hours.
Results: Initial effects are usually visible within 3–7 days, with maximal improvement at approximately two weeks. The clinical effect of botulinum toxin lasts 3–4 months on average; maintenance treatments may be considered for sustained benefit.

Safety and Evidence

Botulinum toxin injections have a well-established safety profile when administered by qualified clinicians. Adverse events are rare and typically mild. Oxona Healthcare adheres to the highest standards of clinical governance, ensuring patients are fully informed and supported throughout their care.
