anti-wrinkle injections
Muscle relaxant
Anti-wrinkle injections treat wrinkles caused by the contraction of facial muscles. The minute amount of product administered is composed of a natural, purified protein derived from Clostridium botulinumtoxin. When injected into specific facial muscles the target muscle is relaxed to reduce dynamic lines & prevent the formation of wrinkles, creating a younger, softer and natural looking appearance.
Regular treatments can prevent the formation of further lines and wrinkles and will improve the skin texture in the area leading to an overall more youthful appearance. Each treatment of muscle relaxant lasts for approximately 3-4 months, although longevity varies between individuals.
The most common conditions treated by anti wrinkle injections are:
-
‘Frown lines’ between the eyebrows
-
'Surprise lines' horizontal forehead lines
-
'Crow’s feet’ at the outside of the eyes
-
'Bunny lines' on the upper nose
-
Platysma neck bands
-
Superficial upper lip lines (deeper lines will require a dermal filler)
-
Facial slimming by relaxing the massetter muscle - also reduces teeth grinding
-
'Gummy smile' by reducing the appearance of the gum line
-
'Lip flip'
It is important to note that anti-wrinkle injections do not immediately improve static lines, or lines that are present at rest. Adding volume or support with dermal fillers may be required to treat these.
