Anti-wrinkle Treatment
Anti-Wrinkle Injectable is a bacterial by-product that is injected into the muscle in order to induce temporary muscle relaxation. It does this by temporarily blocking the nerve pathway that induces contraction.
Botulinum Toxin Type A will temporarily improve, soften, and moderate to severe vertical and horizontal lines between eyebrows (glabellar lines) and is injected into the skin to reduce these lines.
Anti-wrinkle injections benefits of treatment usually last 4-6 months but can vary depending on your individual response. However, factors like where the region is being treated, how your skin reacts to therapy, and how much time you spend in the sun all play a role .
After treatment results will become evident after 3-5 days and full effects can take up to 30 days.

What Our Clients Say
“ Got my lips botched by someone else, so made appointment with Rawle, and oh my !!! He is absolute gem!! Couldn't believe the results we get after 1ml filler. THANK YOU SO MUCH ONE MORE TIME.

"Rawle was amazing really made me feel at ease and did exactly what I asked for, will defo be back Had a really good procedure no complaints" Makeda
"Rawle has been doing my lips for 5 years (March 2017). I’m really pleased with my lips . Rawle is very friendly , always listens to what shape I like, offers some suggestions & we work together .
On occasion, I’ve asked for more filler , Rawle has declined & said he wouldn’t want to make my lips look over inflated .
I’m always over the moon with the end result. We have built them up over each session & they are exactly how I want them .
Rawle is extremely professional and I feel totally safe in his hands . I highly recommend Rawle for fillers . His results are outstanding." Angela
