💉 I DON’T KNOW WHO NEEDS TO HEAR THIS… BUT YOUR ANTI-WRINKLE RESULTS MIGHT NOT BE LASTING BECAUSE OF THE PRODUCT USED!

Have you noticed your anti-wrinkle treatments aren’t lasting as long as they used to? Or perhaps you’re not seeing the same results you once did?

There are several reasons why this can happen, and it’s not always about needing more product! 👀

🤎 LET’S TALK ABOUT TOXIN RESISTANCE

Over time, a small number of people can develop neutralising antibodies against botulinum toxin type A, which may reduce its effectiveness.

This is relatively uncommon, particularly in aesthetic treatments, but it is something practitioners should consider when results become less effective.

Other reasons for reduced results include:
✨ Individual metabolism and muscle activity
✨ Dosage and injection technique
✨ Treatment intervals
✨ Differences between formulations
✨ The strength of the muscles being treated

🤎 DOES THE BRAND MATTER?

YES! Not all botulinum toxin formulations are identical.

Different brands have different formulations, dosing characteristics and clinical evidence.

Occasionally, a qualified prescriber may consider a different formulation following an assessment of reduced treatment response.

However, switching brands isn’t guaranteed to overcome genuine antibody-mediated resistance, particularly where antibodies affect botulinum toxin type A.

🤎 AND WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF YOUR FACE?

If you’ve been focusing on the traditional upper-face areas for years, it might be time to consider your facial balance as a whole.

Facial ageing doesn’t just affect the forehead and eye area!

During a full-face consultation, we can assess areas including:

✨ DAO muscles – responsible for pulling down the corners of the mouth.

✨ Platysmal bands – vertical neck bands that can become more prominent with age.

✨ Perioral lines – commonly known as smoker’s lines, even in non-smokers.

✨ Jelly rolls – the small muscle bulges beneath the eyes when smiling.

✨ Bunny lines – expression lines that appear around the sides of the nose.

Understanding how these muscles work together can help us create a more balanced, harmonious approach to facial rejuvenation.

FULL FACE TOXIN 💉

For this client, we treated 3 upper-face areas alongside the DAO and platysma bands for a balanced, full-face approach.

Botulinum toxin works by temporarily reducing the nerve signals responsible for muscle contraction. By strategically targeting specific muscles, we can soften dynamic lines and reduce excessive downward pull while maintaining natural facial movement.

We treated:

* Frontalis, glabella + orbicularis oculi — to soften expression lines across the forehead, frown area and around the eyes.
* DAO (depressor anguli oris) — a muscle that pulls the corners of the mouth down. Relaxing it can reduce downward pull at the mouth corners.
* Platysma bands — the superficial neck muscle responsible for visible vertical bands and some downward tension through the lower face. Carefully placed toxin can soften the appearance of these bands.

The aim: strategic muscle relaxation, Treatment is individually assessed, prescribed and dosed according to the client’s anatomy and muscle activity.

Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medicine. Suitability and prescribing assessment required. Results and longevity vary between individuals.

LIP FILLER — subtle, balanced, beautifully refreshed 💋

Lip filler doesn’t always have to mean bigger.

For this treatment, the focus was on strategic placement — using 0.2ml each side and 0.3ml through the lower lip to enhance shape, improve balance and create a soft, natural-looking result that still looks like her. ✨
