Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle injections temporarily reduce and eliminate facial wrinkles by blocking the nerve impulses to the muscles that cause wrinkles and creases to appear and thicken over time. Anti-wrinkle treatment is quick, safe and highly effective.

About Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle injections are commonly used to help restore a younger, fresher look to the face and is suitable for both men and women of all ages although usually most effective in the 25 to 70 age group. Specifically, these are good for treating the crow’s feet wrinkles that appear at the corners of the eyes as well as the horizontal lines on the forehead and vertical lines between the eyebrows.

Many patients opt for anti-wrinkle injections as a treatment for wrinkles as there’s no surgery involved and it doesn’t result in scarring. Plus, there’s very little time required for recovery. That said, you should only go ahead with anti-wrinkle injections once you’ve weighed up the pros and cons, and had a detailed consultation with us to determine whether this treatment is right for you.

This is a great treatment for people who are looking for a little pout and definition but don’t want anything drastic. Lip flip is most suitable for someone who wants a fuller lip without adding volume or with a gummy smile. It’s also an ideal treatment for people people whose upper lip recedes/disappear while talking or smiling.

Anti Wrinkle injections to the masseter muscle reduce the size of the muscle and help to shape the face and give a slimmer look. This is also a great treatment for teeth grinding. Strong masseter muscles can make the face look wider which can produce a square face. This can be unflattering for some women and men. This is the only treatment for reducing the jaw non-surgically.

Anti Wrinkle injections block the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which binds with your sweat glands to signal the release of sweat.

Normally, your nervous system activates your sweat glands when your body temperature rises. This is how your body automatically cools itself. In people with hyperhidrosis, however, the nerves that signal the sweat glands are overactive.

When you receive Botox injections directly into the area of your body that commonly sweats, your overactive nerves are essentially paralysed. When your nerves can’t signal your sweat glands, you don’t sweat. However, anti wrinkle injections only prevents sweating in the specific area where it’s injected.

Anti Wrinkle Injections act as a muscle relaxant. So, when injected it weakens the muscles response to not be so hyperactive. A small anti wrinkle injection at both sides of the nostril and nose to mouth lines helps to weaken the muscles response.

This minimally invasive procedure begins to show the results within the next 5-7 days. You will discover a new elevated smile, showing less gum making you more confident in smiling freely. This treatment is the first choice for many to treat that gummy smile, thanks to the quick treatment time, how fast it works, satisfaction with the results and how long the results last.

Brow Lifts use anti wrinkle injections to create the same or similar results as a surgical brow lift. When done properly, this type of brow lift will soften glabellar lines, or those horizontal lines that stretch across the forehead. 

Anti wrinkle injections will allow your forehead muscles to relax, elevating the brow and creating a more youthful appearance. 

The treatment works similarly to any other anti wrinkle injection procedure. Injections are made in the treatment area to freeze the muscles underneath the skin. 

Anti Wrinkle injections are the gold standard in neuromodulator treatments, offering a tried and true solution for correcting a downturned smile. It works by relaxing the muscles around the corners of mouth, effectively lifting and smoothing out drooping mouth corners. With its proven track record, anti wrinkle injections are an excellent option for those looking to achieve a non-surgical corner lip lift.

Anti wrinkle injections work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. When injected into the muscles around the nose, anti wrinkle injections relaxes the muscles and prevents them from contracting. This smooths out the skin and reduces the appearance of bunny lines.

The procedure is relatively simple and quick. Our practitioner will use a fine needle to inject the anti wrinkle into the targeted muscles around your nose. You may experience some temporary slight discomfort or a fleeting prick sensation, but our patients find it very tolerable.

Nose Tip: This cosmetic treatment focuses on injecting Botox in the correct place on the nose to help pull the nose tip (depressor septi nasi) down. This injection lifts the nasal tip for a nose lift and makes the tip of the nose appear more perky and pert.

Nose Flare: For some people, smiling can cause their nose to widen. Nose Botox reduces nasal flare by relaxing the dilator naris posterior muscle, responsible for pulling the nose laterally. This helps relax the nose and reduce the appearance of a wide nose or nasal flare.

We target the chin area through the use of wrinkle relaxing injections that works to reduce and relax the movements of the muscle. In this case the muscle that is treated is the mentalis muscle (chin muscle).

Anti Wrinkle is injected into the targeted area, temporarily freezing the muscle so that it can no longer cause the skin to crease or fold. When the muscles are hindered from working, the skin can relax.

Quick answers to questions you may have

Anti Wrinkle injections when injected into a muscle temporarily relaxes the muscle by blocking nerve impulses. As the nerve impulses are blocked the muscle is temporarily unable to contract so that dynamic wrinkles are not formed. This gives the overlying facial skin a softer, smoother and more youthful appearance.

Anti Wrinkle as a muscle relaxant has an excellent safety record and a long record of use in medicine. It has been used successfully in adults and children in variety medical conditions over the last 20 years. It has been used cosmetically to treat facial wrinkles for about 15 years and has become one of the most popular and frequently used cosmetic treatments.

It can take about 2-14 days to see the full effects after the initial treatment. The cosmetic effects can last up to six months but typically range from three to four months. Eventually most people require re treatment as the wrinkles reappear.

However in some treated areas (such as frown wrinkles), the wrinkles may return less severe after repeated treatments as the unconscious muscle contraction habit is broken. We offer all our patients a free two week follow up appointment to assess the effect of treatment and administer any top up treatments if necessary.

Most people find that the injections cause only mild local pain and tenderness. Immediately after the injection there may be mild swelling at the injection site which usually subsides within 48 hours.  Slight bruising is also possible.  Side effects of these treatments are extremely rare.  Occasionally, the treatment may relax nearby muscle groups causing temporary drooping of the eyebrow or eyelids.  This may last for a few weeks but will resolve with time.  As with any medicine an allergic reaction may occur, this is however quite rare.  Conversely there may be some unintended benefits in some people such as easing of tension type headaches as the muscles in the forehead relax.

Anti Wrinkle has been used for over 20 years and does not appear to cause any negative long-term effects. Once administered, Anti Wrinkle typically leaves the body within 3-4 days, although, as with any medical procedure, it is important to seek advice from a qualified professional beforehand.
