Anti-wrinkle
treatments

What is it?

Anti-wrinkle treatments can be used to both soften and improve their appearance but also prevent them from progressing and worsening. As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and produces less collagen. This, combined with repeated contraction of the facial muscles, creases the overlying skin causing furrows and grooves. If you’d like to understand if this is the right treatment for you or you have any questions please give us a call at the Cambridge Aesthetics Lounge on 01223 782408.


Using Allergen Botox we are able to improve the appearance of forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet leaving the skin smooth and younger looking.


A gummy smile is when the lip rests high on the gums when smiling and can happen due to a hyperactive muscle in the upper lip or aggravated by a thin upper lip. This issue can be simply and effectively corrected by reducing the activity of the muscle that elevates the upper lip improving the appearance of any “gummy” smile creating a more appealing and natural smile.


Bunny lines refer to the fine lines that sometimes appear on either side of your nose when wrinkled. These lines can be a natural part of growing older and some people find them charming whilst others may feel that bunny lines age their face. By using Allergen Botox for bunny lines we can minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines that appear diagonally on both sides of your nose.
