Anti-Wrinkle

Anti-wrinkle injections, often referred to as neuromodulators, are a popular non-invasive cosmetic treatment used to reduce and prevent the formation of wrinkles. 

Treatment Process

• Non-Invasive: Anti-wrinkle injections are minimally invasive and typically involve a series of small injections into specific muscles or areas of the face.
• Preventative Measure: These injections are often used as a preventive measure to soften and reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, which are wrinkles that form as a result of facial expressions, such as smiling, frowning, or raising the eyebrows.
• Additional Uses: In addition to addressing cosmetic concerns, anti-wrinkle injections can also be used for non-cosmetic purposes. They are effective in treating issues such as excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and jaw clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism), sore neck, muscles and rosacea.

Expected Results

The mechanism of action of anti-wrinkle injections involves blocking the signals between nerves and muscles. Here’s what you can expect in terms of results:

• Reduced Muscle Movement: By blocking the nerve signals to the treated muscles, anti-wrinkle injections reduce muscle contractions and movement. This decreased muscle activity helps to prevent the formation and deepening of wrinkles and lines associated with facial expressions.
• Softer and Fresher Appearance: As the muscles relax, the overlying skin also relaxes, resulting in a smoother and softer appearance. This can give the face a more refreshed and youthful look.
• Dynamic vs. Static Wrinkles: Anti-wrinkle injections are particularly effective against dynamic wrinkles, which are the wrinkles that appear when you make facial expressions. However, they may not be as effective for static wrinkles, which are visible even when the facial muscles are at rest. Static wrinkles often result from a loss of skin elasticity and collagen. Dermal fillers, a different type of cosmetic treatment, are typically used to address static wrinkles by adding volume beneath the skin.

It’s important to note that the longevity of the results can vary among individuals, and follow-up treatments are typically needed to maintain the effects. The specific areas and amount of product used will depend on individual goals and facial anatomy. Usually expect 3 months to 5 months duration of effect.
