When life first creates visible facial lines, initially these are called dynamic lines or wrinkles that disappear when the facial muscles involved relax. Over time, however, repeated use of these muscles cause more permanent or static lines, which are visible even when you are not moving your face.
Anti-wrinkle injections, also known as Botox® injections, help to relax targeted muscles in the face by inhibiting nerve signals to them. This reduces the muscle’s ability to contract, so that the lines and wrinkles diminish, producing a refreshed look.
Are anti-wrinkle treatments right for me?
If you are troubled by facial lines/wrinkles or just want a more rejuvenated lifted look, then anti-wrinkle injections may be perfect for you. Anti-wrinkle injections also have a multitude of other uses that you may benefit from.
How do anti-wrinkle injections work?
Anti-wrinkle injections help the muscles beneath them to relax. By inhibiting nerve signals to the specific facial muscle, this treatment prevents its ability to contract, so that over a relatively short period creases and wrinkles fade, producing a refreshed look.
What areas can be treated?
Not only can anti-wrinkle injections help improve the appearance of wrinkles , drooping corners of the mouth and neck bands, this treatment can also help with facial slimming, teeth grinding (bruxism), migraines, gummy smile and excessive sweating (scalp, forehead, underarms, hands and feet). A lip flip is a procedure where injections are done around the mouth to relax the muscles naturally pursing the lips and give the lips a fuller appearance. Anti-wrinkle injections can also be performed in the nose to reduce flaring of the nostrils and reduce drooping of the tip of the nose.
How long do anti-wrinkle injections last?
Anti-wrinkle injections will typically last three to six months. However, this can depend on individual factors such as which area is being treated and how your body metabolises the anti-wrinkle protein.
Are anti-wrinkle injections safe?
Millions of people have used anti-wrinkle injections over many years, making it a very common procedure. They have been used to treat children with cerebral palsy, among other conditions such as overactive bladder. The treatment has held a proven safety record for over 30 years.
Treatment involves a small number of injections in the chosen areas using a very tiny needle. The complete process takes only around 10-20 minutes to perform. The effects of your anti-wrinkle injections can begin as early as two to three days after your treatment and you can expect to see full results at 2-3 weeks. With consistent treatment, clients usually see improvement in static lines over time.
It should also be noted that deep static lines, or lines that are present at rest, may also require the use of dermal fillers, skin boosters or medical skin peels to help soften their appearance. We will discuss your own particular requirements at your consultation prior to moving forward with any treatment, to ensure you are clear about your options and your expected results.
