Here is some information about anti-wrinkle injections
Anti – wrinkle injections
Anti-wrinkle injections (botulinum toxin) are an extremely effective treatment for softening and minimizing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.
What are anti- wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections (botulinum toxin) are an extremely effective treatment at softening and minimizing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are caused by repetitive facial movements and muscle contractions. As we age, these lines can be more apparent at rest. Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to soften these lines, resulting in a smoother more youthful appearance.
It also works as a great preventative treatment.
Areas targeted:
Glabella lines (The ‘eleven’ lines between your eyebrows).
• Forehead lines
• Eye wrinkles (crow’s feet)
PROCEDURE
DURATION: 25 MINS
PAIN: mild
RESULTS: are seen within 2 weeks and lasts 3-4 MONTHS
NO. OF SESSIONS: 1-2
DOWNTIME- minimal (allow for bruising)
Botulinum toxin works by blocking nerve impulses to muscles, sweat glands, and pain receptors. Blocking of the nerve impulses to the muscles prevents dynamic wrinkles from forming. Dynamic wrinkles occur when we use our muscles to form facial expressions, namely frowning, raising your eyebrows and smiling.
During these facial expressions your muscles contract and cause your skin to wrinkle. This substance helps to reduce the expression strength leading to fewer wrinkles. A natural appearance without an ‘over-botoxed’ look is the desired result for most of our patients.
What areas can be treated by anti-wrinkle treatment?
The three areas commonly requested for anti-wrinkle injections are: frown, forehead and crow’s feet (eyes) Other anti-wrinkle injection areas in the face include bunny lines (over the nose), mentalis crease (the line between the chin and lips), and ‘sad appearing mouth’ corners. Botulinum toxin is a treatment that works well for both men and women.
