Anti-Wrinkle Injections works by using a natural purified protein that relaxes specific facial muscles that cause expression lines, creating a natural appearance. Once the muscles are relaxed, you cannot contract them and continue to make undesirable facial features. Thus the lines gradually smooth and new lines are prevented from forming.
The most commonly treated areas are the frown lines, forehead lines and crows feet. Anti-Wrinkle Injections can also be used to create an eyebrow lift, stop the mouth from pulling down, relax nose lines and chin creases, reduce vertical neck bands and treat excessive armpit sweating.
A small amount of the anti-wrinkle medication is injected into selected facial muscles using a very fine needle. Generally treatment takes about 10-15 minutes. Discomfort is typically minimal and brief, and no anaesthetic is usually required. The injection may sting for a few seconds but normal activities can be resumed soon after. After the injection, it takes 2-3 days for the effects to begin and about 1-2 weeks to see the full result.
The dose recommended will wary depending on your individual situation and the severity of your lines, which will be discussed in detail during your consultation. The effect can last up to 4 months before lines slowly begin to return. If you have repeated treatments, the effect tends to last longer.
Continuing with regular treatments will improve the effects and lasting results.
Any possible side effects that may occur are normally temporary. You may experience headaches, bruising, swelling or redness at the injection site.
Anti wrinkle injections have been used both medically and cosmetically for over 20 year. This treatment is very effective, safe and popular.
