Whether softening etched expression lines, smoothing crow’s-feet or halting future wrinkles before they form, our anti-wrinkle injections gently relax targeted muscles to smooth skin, subtly lift features and firm the complexion for a refreshed, youthful glow. The changes caused by sun damage, hormonal changes, muscle overaction or other reasons have a variety of treatment options, but one of the most predictable and satisfactory is modulating the underlying muscle action.
What products do we use?
Wrinkle reducing injections utilise strategically placed precise doses of botulinum toxin. At Purity Bridge, we only use licenced botulinum toxin brands, for example Botox, Azzalure. This gives us the reassurance of quality and safety for your treatment.

Is Botulinum Toxin Safe?
Botulinum toxin treatments are safe provided they are undertaken by a healthcare practitioner who understands facial anatomy, who understands how the treatment works and is fully trained to provide it. Having the expertise and aesthetic eye to understand your goals and achieve a beautiful and natural appearing result is also important.
All treatments have side effects so we will discuss these with you and always be aware of this. But in qualified hands and a clinical setting, these are very safe treatments.
First Treatment? Here’s What to Expect!
Your first consultation will include:
· Completing a registration form detailing your medical information (important to reduce side effects or complications from treatments)
· Discussion of your aesthetic goals
· Facial assessment
· Seeing the medical doctor who will be prescribing your treatment
· Explaining the treatment, what it can do, how it is done, after care, expected longevity and potential side-effects
· Answering your questions
How Is The Treatment Done?
First of all, you will agree which areas to treat. Clinical photographs will be taken. Then your face will be cleaned and a series of precisely targeted injections using a very fine needle will deliver the botulinum toxin to the areas being treated. Your face will be cleaned again and you will be advised on after care.
It takes between 3 and 14 days for treatment to take full effect and the effects last between 3 and 6 months. To maintain an even effect, we recommend regular treatments spaced 3 to 4 months apart.
The Science Behind Botulinum Toxin: How It Smooths Wrinkles
Botulinun toxin is a purified toxin originally from a bacterium clostridium botulinum. It causes weakness of muscles and has been used for many years to treat conditions such as blepharospasm (eyelid spasms) and cerebral palsy. During treatment for blepharoplasty, Dr Jean Carruthers discovered her patients also had less wrinkles around their eyelids! And so we discovered this benefit of botulinun toxin as well! By strategically weakening the small facial muscles, they do not wrinkle the overlying skin which is how wrinkles form. When the skin is not constantly wrinkling, wrinkles become finer or disappear or do not form.
Preventative Botox: When Is the Right Time to Start?
At Purity Bridge, we will never push you to have a treatment that you do not need. Whilst it is true that early treatment with botulinum toxin prevents wrinkles and prevents fine lines from becoming permanent wrinkles, treating too early is not worthwhile. We will always advise you on what is best for you as an individual. The time to start is not just dependant on your age, it also depends on your skin and how it is ageing.
