Medical Aesthetics Clinics Edinburgh

Antiwrinkle injections are used to prevent muscle movement, which help to stop the creasing of skin which causes lines and wrinkles. It is a neurotoxic protein produced by bacteria. It works by blocking the signals from nerves to muscles preventing muscle movement. These signals will return to normal function as the treatment wears off. ​Antiwrinkle injections are classed as a prescription only medication, this means that you must be seen by a medical practitioner that holds a prescribing qualification. This can be an independent nurse prescriber, doctor, or dentist. Any other practitioners must have a prescribing professional present to ensure the suitability of the medication for the patient. ​ In the skin clinic we only use premium brands that are licenced for the UK. In all, there are 3 brands available that we believe to be suitable for our patients, with the clinical evidence of efficacy and safety. However, some patients maybe more suited to another brand. Nurse Dawn has the experience to ensure patients receive the correct treatment to deliver positive results.
