Anti-wrinkle Treatments

Anti-wrinkle treatments are cosmetic procedures that make the skin appear smoother and younger by minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Injectable medicines like botulinum toxin (Botox) are frequently used to cure dynamic wrinkles like crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead creases. These substances temporarily relax the facial muscles that create these types of wrinkles.

Anti-wrinkle treatments work by focusing on particular muscles to help soften wrinkles already present and stop new ones from forming, making your skin appear renewed and revitalised. They are a popular non-surgical choice for those who want to improve the appearance of their faces with little recovery time. Our aesthetic specialists provide anti-wrinkle injections, which are a highly preferred option among our clientele.

Anti-wrinkle injections function by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles responsible for producing facial expressions. Botulinum toxin, a refined protein, is the most used ingredient in these injections. It relaxes targeted muscles when injected in tiny, regulated doses.

Because relaxed muscles are less able to contract, the appearance of dynamic wrinkles is reduced and the skin above is smoothed out. Results can be seen within a few days of the operation, which usually only takes a few minutes. The final, desired look takes around two weeks to come into effect.

Anti-wrinkle injections are usually well-tolerated and tend to only cause minimal discomfort. Most people report feeling only a slight pinprick or mild stinging sensation at the injection site. The needles used are very fine, and the procedure is quick, which helps minimise any pain.

We apply a topical numbing cream to further reduce pain during the procedure. Considering that any soreness is usually minimal and passes quickly, anti-wrinkle injections are a rather pleasant procedure.

While anti-wrinkle treatments are safe, in rare cases there are potential side effects to be aware of. Common side effects include redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which usually goes away within a few hours to a few days.

Some individuals may experience mild headaches, a feeling of tightness, or temporary drooping of nearby muscles, such as the eyelids or brows, especially if the injections affect adjacent muscles. In very rare cases an allergic reaction or infection may occur.

Anti-wrinkle injection results usually last three to six months, depending on several variables including the patient’s metabolism, the area being treated, and the quantity of substance administered.

The wrinkles gradually return when the body metabolises the chemical that was injected and the treated muscles can contract again. Many people find that having maintenance treatments every three to six months helps to keep their skin looking young and preserve the intended results.
