Anti-Wrinkle Injectables

What Are Anti-wrinkle Injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections contain a potent purified neurotoxin. When the medication is injected into a muscle, it blocks communication between the muscle and the nerves that connect to it. This prevents the muscle from receiving signals that trigger muscle movement. The muscle cannot contract, which in turn causes the overlying skin to relax. The appearance of wrinkles can be significantly reduced with this treatment, resulting in a smoother complexion and refreshed appearance.

There are many benefits to anti-wrinkle injections. They are more affordable than surgery, less risky than surgery and require less downtime. Each treatment session is quick and results appear in a relatively short period of time. Although the improvements are not permanent, they are long-lasting for a nonsurgical solution.

Benefits of The Treatments

Soften fine lines & wrinkles – creates a natural-looking reduction in expression lines such as frown lines, smile lines and crows feet.

Revitalise appearance – when professionally administered, anti-wrinkle injections can restore and revitalise your appearance.

Prevent future deep line formation – by relaxing the muscle, anti-wrinkle injections reduce wrinkles and can prevent future lines from forming or deepening.

What Is The Difference Between Anti-Wrinkle Injections and Dermal Fillers?

Anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers are both injectable treatments that minimise the appearance of facial wrinkles. Both are effective options for the right patient, but they address slightly different concerns and have different mechanisms of action.

Anti-wrinkle injections are also known as neuromodulators. They work by temporarily stopping the normal motion of muscles into which they are injected. This treatment relaxes wrinkles that are the result of muscles repeatedly contracting in the same location.

Dermal fillers are designed to add volume, lift and symmetry to your face, giving you a refreshed and natural appearance.

Muscle relaxants can even be used to treat excessive sweating and jaw grinding.

The effect can last up to 6 months, although with regular treatments it may be possible to reduce the dosage.
