Anti-Wrinkle / Botox® Injections

Dr Rory offers face-to-face consultations to discuss anti-wrinkle injections at our boutique, CQC-registered medical-grade clinic in Poole, Dorset. Conveniently located just 15 minutes from Bournemouth and around 20 minutes from Christchurch, RKB Aesthetics provides anti-wrinkle and Botox® treatments for clients across the BCP area and beyond.

What are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?

Botox® is a well-known name in anti-wrinkle treatments, but it’s important to know that Botox® is just one brand of botulinum toxin. This approved substance targets specific facial muscles to smooth out wrinkles. At RKB Aesthetics in Poole, we offer Botox® treatments using trusted brands like Bocouture (Merz), NUCEIVA, Dysport, and Azzalure.

How Does Botox® Work? 

Anti-wrinkle injections precisely target the muscles responsible for wrinkles, which often develop from repetitive facial expressions and movements. When Dr. Rory injects Botox® into these muscles, it blocks nerve impulses, preventing muscle contractions. This process relaxes the muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Treatment Process with Dr. Rory Boud: Anti-Wrinkle Injection Consultation

Your treatment begins with an in-depth consultation at our Poole clinic. Dr. Rory Boud will discuss your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and explain the available treatment options. This personalised approach ensures you fully understand the procedure, including potential side effects, common reactions, and expected results. As a GP, Dr. Rory also provides support in case of any adverse reactions.

Areas of Botox® Treatment Available at RKB Aesthetics

During your anti-wrinkle injection consultation, we can address various areas, including:

• Smile Lines Around the Eyes (Crow’s Feet): Botox® effectively softens these common wrinkles.
• Forehead Lines: Smooth out horizontal lines for a more youthful appearance.
• Dimpled Chin: Improve the texture of your chin with targeted injections.
• Nose Thinning and Nose Tip Lift: Achieve subtle enhancements to your nose’s shape.
• Frown Lines (Glabella): Minimize the vertical lines between your eyebrows.
• Teeth Grinding/Jaw Clenching (Bruxism): Botox® can relax overactive jaw muscles, reducing grinding and clenching.
• Sweat Reduction (Hyperhidrosis): Botox® effectively controls excessive sweating.
• Downturned Smile (DAO’s): Lift and rejuvenate your smile.
• Platysma Bands (Neck): Smooth and firm the neck area.
• Gummy Smile: Botox® can subtly adjust your smile to reduce gum exposure.

Each of these areas benefits from the precision of anti-wrinkle injections, designed to deliver natural-looking results.

How Long Does Botox® Last?

The procedure typically takes around 10 minutes. You will see visible improvements in fine lines and wrinkles within 4 – 14 days, with peak results appearing 5 to 6 weeks post-injection. Results generally last about 3 months, though this may vary depending on the individual. For optimal results, we recommend repeating treatments every 3 – 4 months.

To ensure your satisfaction and safety, we include a complimentary review appointment within 2 weeks of your Botox® treatment.

Botox® Aftercare: Ensuring Optimal Results

To maximise the effectiveness of your Botox® treatment and minimise side effects, follow these aftercare guidelines:

• Avoid lying down for 4-6 hours post-treatment.
• Refrain from exercise for the rest of the day.
• Do not massage the treated area for 3 days.
• Steer clear of extreme temperatures (saunas, steam rooms) for 3 days.
• Avoid pressure on the face from massage tables for 2 weeks.
• Limit sun exposure and always apply SPF 50.

• Have an allergy to botulinum toxin type A, human albumin, or sodium chloride.
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Have a history of diseases affecting muscles or the nervous system.
• Have muscular or neuromuscular issues.
• Have inflammation in the muscle or skin intended for injection.
