Benefits of Anti-wrinkle injections
Anti-wrinkle injections smooth fine lines, relax facial muscles, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, revealing a refreshed and youthful look.
Versatile Application
From smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles to lifting sagging skin, these injections can enhance facial contours, diminish crow’s feet, relax forehead lines, and even address excessive sweating.
Quick Results
Results are often immediate or become visible shortly (24-72 hours) after the treatment, providing instant gratification.
No Downtime
Thanks to their non-surgical nature, anti-wrinkle injections typically involve minimal discomfort and require no downtime for recovery so patients can confidently return to their daily routines after the treatment.
Reversible Results
Thanks to their temporary nature, anti-wrinkle injections give patients the flexibility to adjust or reverse the effects if desired. This reversibility allows patients to achieve their desired outcome while maintaining control over their appearance.
How Do Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work?
Dynamic wrinkles form from repeated facial movements—like frowning, squinting, or smiling—which cause the skin to crease. At first, these lines appear only during movement, but over time they can become visible even when the face is at rest. Aging, sun exposure, genetics, and lifestyle factors can all contribute to the formation of these wrinkles. Anti-wrinkle injections contain a neurotoxin that temporarily blocks the nerve signals responsible for muscle contractions. By relaxing these muscles, the injections reduce their movement, smoothing out existing wrinkles and preventing new ones from forming. The results usually last several months, after which muscle activity gradually returns to normal.
What Happens During the Procedure?
If preferred, a numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort. Once the area is numb, it is carefully cleaned and marked. The neurotoxin, diluted in saline, is then injected with a fine needle into the targeted muscle tissue. The number of injections depends on the size of the treatment area. The procedure is quick, typically taking just 15–20 minutes, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately afterward.
