Anti-Wrinkle Treatments

The main cosmetic use for anti-wrinkle treatment injections is to improve lines around the eye, eyebrow, mid-face, cheek and forehead.
Before and After total face treatment
These wrinkles form with time from the activity of muscles in these areas. Anti-wrinkle treatment injections can be used to temporarily weaken these muscles, causing the lines to diminish after treatment, as the muscles no longer function to produce them.
There are two types of treatments to smooth away wrinkles and they are often used together for optimum results.
There are injectable muscle relaxants that work by relaxing the muscles that cause us to frown and there are
dermal fillers that are used to plump up and smooth out folds and lines that are permanently on our faces,
such as vertical lip lines or the folds that run from our nose to our lips (nasolabial folds).
Dermal fillers return lost volume and definition that age has taken away from the lips.
FAQ: Anti-wrinkle Treatment
Questions about Muscle Relaxant
Wrinkles are formed by our everyday facial movements. When we are young these lines spring away when we stop laughing or frowning but as we age our faces become maps of our daily emotions, with lines and wrinkles permanently etched for all to see.
Sometimes these lines can be at odds with how we are feeling. Frown lines, formed over years of expressions, can make us look stressed and tired even when we are feeling our best.
Anti-wrinkle injections are the solution. They smooth out and remove the wrinkles to leave a fresher more youthful face.

is a natural purified protein used to relax the specific facial muscles that cause the wrinkle, formed during facial expressions. Once the muscle is relaxed you can no longer contract it. The lines become softened and new ones are prevented. It is ideal for, but not limited to, the treatment of frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines.

Using a very fine needle a small amount of the muscle relaxant is injected into the wrinkle causing muscle. There is no down time and you can return to normal activities immediately. It takes 3-4 days for the treatment to begin to take effect and up to 10 days to see the full effect.
The solution is carefully injected into the muscles that are causing the skin to wrinkle – after serveral days it prevents the nerves from moving the muscle, therefore smoothing the overlying skin. The remaining facial muscles keep contracting as per usual so that normal and more desirable facial expressions are unaffected.
