Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti wrinkle injections use a toxin that temporarily reduces the movement in local muscles. This toxin is known as Clostridium botulinum. To reduce the appearance of expression lines, smile lines, facial wrinkles, and bunny lines, anti wrinkle injections are the best cosmetic injectable treatment option. Other than treating wrinkles, these injectables help treat other conditions or unsightly appearances as well, which include:

• Expression lines
• Vertical lines above the lips
• Marionette lines
• Hyperhidrosis
• Migraines
• Bruxism
• Platysma bands
• Crow’s feet

How Does the Treatment Work?

The anti wrinkle injection is inserted in the muscle and the toxin temporarily stops any muscle activity in the specific area. With this, the wrinkles are smoothened, and the spasms come to a halt. These injections can help relieve pain and inflammation that provides relief from migraines.

The anti wrinkle injections follow a generally safe procedure. Yet, there are some side effects of the treatment. Once the treatment is complete, the following effects may occur:

• Swelling
• Bruising
• Discomfort
• Headaches
• Muscle Weakness

The effects of anti wrinkle injections can last up to 4 months. However, in some cases, regular “top ups” throughout the year may be required for the desired results

What Conditions or Areas be Treated with Anti Wrinkle Injections?

Be it cosmetically or medically, there are several issues that can be addressed by anti wrinkle injections.

Cosmetically

Reduce Wrinkles

Anti wrinkle injections target both the static and dynamic wrinkles. There are visible wrinkles when your muscles are at rest and wrinkles caused by facial movements, respectively. Anti wrinkle injections help relax facial muscles and reduce dynamic wrinkles as well as soften static lines with regular anti wrinkle treatment.

Enhance Lip

Anti wrinkle injections help improve other aspects of the lip area like:

• Gummy smile
• Upper lip wrinkles and lines
• Lip flip – relaxing the muscles above the upper lip

Lift Face

Anti wrinkle treatment can target specific areas of the face to mimic a very subtle face lift.

Jawline Slimming

Anti wrinkle treatments can be injected into the masseter muscles to reduce the squareness of the jaw.

Medically

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)

Anti wrinkle injections can block the sweating nerve signals that prevent the sweat glands from overproducing sweat.

Migraines

With anti wrinkle injections, the nerve endings where pain transmission occurs can be blocked. This partially reduces the number of migraines one experiences after the treatment.

Who Can Have Anti Wrinkle Injection Treatments?

The toxin used in these cosmetic injectables should not be used if you have a skin infection or skin disease near the treatment area. If you are breastfeeding or pregnant then you should avoid this treatment. It is not recommended for anyone with a known sensitivity to the toxin or individuals taking certain antibiotics.
