What Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections are exactly what the name implies – they help with wrinkles.

Using a pure, natural protein, our anti- wrinkle injections target the specific face muscles that cause wrinkles when they move.

It is important to have skilled professionals perform the procedure in order to achieve a natural look that doesn’t cause your face to appear frozen. Our team has performed thousands of procedures with great success, helping people look younger and their faces softer.

The goal is to not have an immovable and expressionless face, instead you want to target wrinkles and reduce the signs of ageing. This treatment should precisely address the specific muscles that create wrinkles and lines when they move. They can relax muscles that influence the dynamic lines in the face.

Our anti-wrinkle injections can stop your muscles from contracting by impeding the neural signalling to the muscles. If the brain can’t tell those muscles to move anymore, they may not tighten anymore. The creases that develop in the nearby skin may also relax.

It’s essential to note that this procedure usually works best for dynamic wrinkles, or those that develop when your facial muscles move. Fine lines or creases that are present when your face is at rest may not go away immediately after this treatment. However, regular treatments can even smooth out those stationary wrinkles.

Uses for Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle treatment works best on the following types of wrinkles:

Frown lines

Forehead creases

Crow’s feet around the eyes

This is a versatile therapy that can also help lift the eyebrow, stop the corners of your smile from drooping and lower the upper lip to cover visible gums. It’s not limited to facial wrinkles and creases.

Many people complain about neck bands (the lines that become imprinted around your jawline and neck) and these anti-wrinkle injections can relax the muscles that have scored those creases over the years and make you look like you had a facelift.

But it isn’t just the use of the injections, it is the planning and location of injection that is important too. The proper injection points can have multiple benefits and even see the reduction of more aggressive wrinkles and make you look naturally younger.

Your face may lose its symmetry as you age, but everyone is different. This is why we are strategic and targeted with our anti-wrinkle injections and they are applied at the proper points. They can raise some areas of the face. They can also reshape the face by reducing the size of muscles that create bulk. We take care to assess, plan and discuss the procedure prior to injections in order to best achieve the look you are after.

People with wrinkles but minimal fat loss and sagging are the ideal candidates for this procedure. If you have lost a great deal of volume in your face or neck, you might want to consider a different type of treatment, such as dermal fillers or peels.

About the Anti-Wrinkle Injection Procedure

This is a short procedure, so you can be in and out quickly, fitting into the busiest of schedules.

Small injections are made into the trouble areas with extremely fine needles, you may experience a small amount of discomfort.

After the procedure, you can go about your daily life. Just don’t exercise, touch the area or lie down for four hours, in order to ensure the injections have time to settle and do their job.

It does take some time for the muscles to relax, so you might not see the full results for up to two weeks. Although most people notice positive changes within five to seven days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Anti-wrinkle injections inhibit the transmission of neurotransmitter from the nerve to the muscle and can stop the muscle from contracting and forming wrinkles. Anti-wrinkle injections can also stop the constant compression of skin, preventing the permanent ‘etching’ of wrinkles in the areas treated.
Anti-wrinkle injections are most commonly used for treatment of frowns, forehead lines, and crows feet. They can also be used to create an eyebrow lift, to stop the mouth from pulling down, reduce gummy smiles (by lowering the upper lip), and to reduce neck bands.
After the injection, it can take about 5-7 days to notice the effect and 10 -14 days for the full effect.
The duration of effectiveness is dependent on the dose administered and can last up to 4 months, but generally on the first few sessions, the longevity is usually shorter – around 3 months. Anti-wrinkle injections can be more effective and last longer when given at regular intervals of 3-4 months due to progressive weakening of the muscles treated.
Normal activities may be resumed after treatment. However, you will be instructed not to exercise, lie down, or touch the treated areas for 4 hours.
Common: Bruise, redness, swelling of the treated area, asymmetrical results

Rare: puffy eyes, a drooping mouth corner, eyebrow or partial eyelid droop, failure to cause a significant change in the wrinkles
