ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS

How do anti-wrinkle injections work?

Anti-wrinkle injections work by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected. When those nerve signals are interrupted, the affected muscle is temporarily paralyzed or frozen, as the message does not reach your muscle it does not contract. Without the movement of these selected muscles in the face, certain wrinkles may be softened, reduced, or even removed. The treatments are minimally invasive and virtually pain-free as the injections use an exceptionally fine needle, and the therapy is completed in just a few minutes, letting you continue with your day.

 

What can anti-wrinkle injections correct? 

Anti-wrinkles injections only work on wrinkles that are caused by muscle movement. These are known as dynamic wrinkles and are often called “expression lines.” The most common dynamic wrinkles that Botox can treat are lines on the upper face, such as the “11” between the brows, horizontal lines on the forehead, and crow’s feet around the eyes. These lines are caused by smiling, frowning, squinting, and other facial expressions.​

Are anti-wrinkle injections instant? 

The effect of treatment isn’t instantaneous, but takes affect over a few days, you’ll see previous lines and wrinkles have reduced or even disappeared, and new skin creasing is avoided improving the long-term appearance of your skin.

 

Are Anti-wrinkle injections permanent?

Anti-wrinkle injections are temporary and lasts 3-6 months. This time frame is affected by your activity level, metabolism, and degree of current muscular activities.

 

If I stop having the injections will my wrinkles get worse?

Anti-wrinkle injections aim to weaken the muscles. This means that the point that you started at or ideally, see a reduction in muscle movement due to gradual weakening of the muscle through your previous treatments. Anti-wrinkle injections are a great preventative procedure.
