Anti Wrinkle Injections

What are anti-wrinkle injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections are one of the UK’s most popular cosmetic treatments. They are designed for people wanting to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines without the need for invasive surgery using botulinum toxin often referred to as ‘Botox’. The treatment slows down the ageing process and can help reduce the appearance of frown lines using injections into the treatment area to relax muscle movement. The process is quick and easy meaning you will be able to carry on with day-to-day activities.

If you are conscious about the signs of ageing and are lacking confidence due to the appearance of visible lines and wrinkles, then anti-wrinkle treatments are a perfect solution.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a minor surgery on my leg done by Dr. Bashir, and I can’t recommend him enough.  He’s incredibly kind, gracious and immediately puts you at ease.  Highly skilled, knowledgeable and charismatic to boot - he made the whole process as “enjoyable” as surgery can be.  Thank you!

From the initial consultation, to the surgery, to the follow up appointments, he provided information clearly and created a calm, gentle environment that made me feel at ease throughout the process. I have no reservations providing a recommendation of Dr. Bashir.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had some medically necessary work done by Dr. Bashir and he is an amazing surgeon with an incredible bedside manner. He is humble, intelligent, a scholar and a gentleman. His skills are truly spectacular and his knowledge is top notch. He always has a smile and he will put you at ease when you see him. He explains everything he's planning on doing and executes his plan accordingly. He's an excellent communicator and was extremely patient with me. We are very lucky to have him in Vancouver and without a doubt, I would highly recommend him.

Update: Saw Dr. Bashir for my post-op work and again, he was exceptional in his bedside manner. He was happy with the work he did and the healing taking place. Asked him a few questions and he was, again, his patience was evident. His skill as a surgeon is just truly amazing but more so he is truly a good person.

Update #2: I saw Dr. Bashir for the final time to finish off the post-op checkup. One word comes to mind when describing Dr. Bashir: humility. The good doctor his not only intelligent, smart, competent, and caring but he exemplifies humility. I am sincerely humbled by the fact that I was referred to Dr. Bashir and I stand by my previous words to describe him. We are extremely lucky to have him here and without a doubt, I would and have recommended Dr. Bashir.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can highly recommend Dr. Bashir. He is super friendly, always seems to be happy and in a good mood. 😄 He explained everything in detail. He takes his time and you have the feeling that he cares about each of his patients.
I recently had nose reconstruction surgeries after an Mohs surgery and are very happy with the results and did not have any complications.

Kavita answered my millions of questions with a smile and was on the ball and Dr. Bashir  did good work, re-assuring me and making it a very pleasant experience. Now I  just can't get addicted to getting work done :P

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Bashir operated on one of my family members, who was diagnosed with a rare cancer. Thankfully, Dr. Bashir encountered the cancer once before in his career, a testament to his experience. The surgery (we waited just weeks for availability) was successful and the cancer was removed. Dr. Bashir was thorough and sent matter for laboratory analysis in case microscopic amounts remained. At his office he was kind and answered questions in detail. We are grateful for his professionalism and skill.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly could not be happier with my results! I recently had a breast augmentation with Dr. Bashir and the results are even better than I imagined. I am extremely particular about my body and did my research for this surgery I had been wanting for ten years. When I finally met Dr. Bashir I knew instantly that it was going to be a good fit. He understood exactly what I wanted and made me feel comfortable through the whole process. I would 100000% do this surgery over again and choose Dr. Bashir every time! Recovery was easy and he made what could have been a nerve racking experience actually exciting and enjoyable. Could not possible have gone any better than it did. I definitely recommend using him! He’s AMAZING!!!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Bashir was my surgeon and not only did he do a fantastic job but he was professional, polite, kind, addressed concerns I had, and made me feel comfortable. 10/10 would go to him again and recommend him to my friends and family should they need a surgeon with his skill set

The procedure takes between 30 minutes to 1 hour to administer in the injection site. Once administered, you will be able to resume normal activity with the exception of specific activities that have been laid out to you for proper aftercare.

For the first 24 hours, it is important to follow aftercare advice including avoiding heat, strenuous exercise, and activities and applying makeup or skincare products to the treated area.

Anti-wrinkle injections do not provide permanent results but can provide long-term solutions. Depending on the treated area, anti-wrinkle injections will last for up to 4 months. It is recommended to have multiple treatments for optimal results to ensure signs of ageing are reduced over a longer period of time.

Anti-wrinkle injections are suitable for anyone looking to reduce wrinkles. A medical professional will be able to advise if anti-wrinkle treatments are suitable for each individual’s needs. Suggestions for areas that should be targeted and if multiple treatments would be beneficial will be discussed during a consultation.

Certain circumstances may restrict you from anti-wrinkle treatments such as :

Pregnant
Breastfeeding
Skin infections
neuromuscular conditions
Specific medication that you may take regularly

Lifestyle choices such as smoking, sun exposure, or weight fluctuations that have resulted in visible excess skin may be a contributing factor to why anti-wrinkle injections are not suitable for you. If you are suffering from excess skin there are other cosmetic procedures that can help tighten the skin such as Facelift Surgery.

During a consultation, you will be informed on whether it is the right procedure and whether you would benefit from multiple treatments or procedure

Anti-wrinkle injections are considered one of the safest cosmetic procedures to have. With all cosmetic procedures, there are side effects. Temporary side effects include swelling, bruising, redness, and some tenderness due to the toxin working to relax facial muscles. Side effects should last up to 48 hours, post-procedure and can be managed by pain killers.

Cosmetic procedures should only be carried out by a registered, medical professional. When choosing a practitioner it is important to ask as many questions about the procedure, side effects, and the products used.

Anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers are cosmetic procedures designed to slow down the ageing process by creating a refreshed appearance. Anti-wrinkle injections work to prevent the appearance of wrinkles, new and existing by relaxing the muscles. Dermal Fillers are designed to plump skin and add volume to give a smoother complexion. Dermal fillers are suited to individuals looking for a plumper appearance.

Anti-wrinkle injections use botulinum toxin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Botox is the leading brand of botulinum toxin that is used and recognised globally as the leading brand for anti-wrinkle treatments.
