Anti wrinkle injections
Skin gets thinner, drier and our collagen slows as we get older. Wrinkles, creases and lines start to appear as a result of ageing skin.
Continuous muscle contractions through facial expressions such as frequently raising eyebrows could also cause unwanted wrinkles. This lines and wrinkles if left untreated, can become more permanent and prominent.
Anti-wrinkle treatments, like dysport, botox and xeomin, would help us by providing relaxed and fresh appearance that still looks and feels natural. Performed exclusively by our qualified medical doctors, anti-wrinkle injections reduce and prevent the formation of wrinkles by ceasing the signal between the nerve and muscle.
STILL YOU. WITH FEWER LINES.
How does anti wrinkle injection work?
Cosmetic injectables are made to relax specific facial muscles that contract daily, such as raised eyebrows and squinting eyes. By constantly using these facial muscles, wrinkles and lines can begin to appear in the form of crow’s feet, forehead lines and frown lines.
Our anti-wrinkle injections reduce the appearance of wrinkles by injecting a purified protein ( botulinum toxin) under your skin that blocks the signals between your facial nerves and muscles. We are able to relax the skin by blocking this response. Injections alleviate these muscle contractions and reveal a more youthful-looking natural appearance.
These injections to treat wrinkles and fine lines started in 1990s and officially approved for commercial use by the FDA in 2002.
Botulinum toxin relaxes the muscles around wrinkles making the skin in the area look more youthful while reducing the appearance of deep wrinkles like crows feet and smile lines.

Benefits of anti wrinkle injections
Anti-wrinkle injections, commonly known as Botox or botulinum toxin injections, are a popular cosmetic procedure used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. Some of the benefits of anti-wrinkle injections are:
Reduced wrinkles and fine lines: Anti-wrinkle injections work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles and lines to form, particularly in areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes (crow’s feet). By reducing muscle activity, the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines is diminished.
Prevention of new wrinkles: Regular use of anti-wrinkle injections can help prevent the formation of new wrinkles by reducing repetitive muscle movements that lead to their development. This preventive aspect can help individuals maintain a youthful appearance over time.
Non-invasive procedure: Anti-wrinkle injections are safe. These are minimally invasive compared to surgical options such as facelifts or brow lifts. They involve a series of small injections administered directly into targeted muscles, typically requiring little to no downtime for recovery.
Quick procedure with fast results: Anti-wrinkle injections are usually performed as outpatient procedures and typically take only a few minutes to complete. Patients can often see noticeable results within a few days following the treatment, with the full effects becoming apparent within 7 days.
Natural-looking results: When administered by a skilled and experienced doctors, anti-wrinkle injections can provide natural-looking results that enhance the appearance of the face without a “frozen” or overly artificial look. The injections are tailored to the individual’s unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Versatility: Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to target specific areas of concern, allowing for a customized treatment approach based on the patient’s needs and desired outcomes. They can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as dermal fillers or laser treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Temporary effects: One of the benefits of anti-wrinkle injections is that their effects are temporary. If someone is unhappy with the results or wishes to discontinue treatment for any reason, the effects will gradually wear off over time.
It’s important to note that while anti-wrinkle injections can provide significant benefits, they may not be suitable for everyone, and individual results can vary. It’s essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if anti-wrinkle injections are the right option for you and to discuss any potential risks or side effects associated with the procedure

What happens during the anti wrinkle procedures
During an anti-wrinkle procedure, which typically involves the use of botulinum toxin injections (Botox or Dysport), several steps are involved. Here’s a general overview of what happens during the procedure:
Consultation: Before the procedure, you’ll have a consultation with your qualified healthcare provider, usually a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. During this consultation, you’ll discuss your goals, concerns, medical history, and any previous cosmetic procedures you’ve undergone. The provider will assess your facial anatomy and skin condition to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for anti-wrinkle injections and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Preparation: On the day of the procedure, the treatment area will be cleansed thoroughly to remove any makeup, dirt, or oil. Some providers may apply a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort during the injections, although many patients find the procedure tolerable without numbing.
Injection: The Doctor will use a fine needle to administer the botulinum toxin injections into specific muscles responsible for the wrinkles and lines you wish to target. Common treatment areas include the forehead, glabella (between the eyebrows), and crow’s feet (around the eyes). The injections are strategically placed to achieve the desired cosmetic outcome while maintaining a natural appearance
Duration: The entire procedure usually takes just a few minutes to complete, and most patients can resume their normal activities immediately afterward. There is typically no downtime associated with anti-wrinkle injections, although some temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites may occur.
Aftercare: After the procedure, your doctor provide specific instructions for post-procedure care, such as avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, or certain medications that could increase the risk of bruising. It’s essential to follow these instructions to optimize the results and minimize any potential side effects.
Results: While some patients may notice an improvement in their wrinkles within a few days, it typically takes about 7 days to see the full effects of the botulinum toxin injections. The results typically last for 4 – 6 months, after which the effects gradually wear off, and repeat treatments may be necessary to maintain the desired appearance.
Overall, anti-wrinkle procedures involving botulinum toxin injections are relatively quick, minimally invasive, and typically well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort and downtime. It’s essential to seek treatment from a qualified and experienced doctor to ensure safe and effective results.
