Anti Wrinkle
Anti-wrinkle treatments are one of the most popular and effective non-surgical cosmetic procedures for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These treatments work by using a purified protein (commonly Botulinum Toxin) that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles, preventing them from contracting and forming expression lines.
How They Work
The treatment is carefully injected into targeted areas of the face, such as the forehead, frown lines (between the brows), and crow’s feet (around the eyes). By blocking nerve signals to the muscles, it allows the overlying skin to appear smoother and more youthful, while still allowing for natural facial expressions when performed correctly.
What They Do
Anti-wrinkle injections:
-
Soften existing lines and prevent new ones from forming
-
Create a fresher, more rested appearance
-
Can be used for aesthetic or therapeutic purposes (e.g., treating jaw tension)
How Long Do They Last?
Results typically begin to show within 3 to 5 days, with full effects visible at around 2 weeks post-treatment. The effects usually last between 3 and 4 months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and treatment area.
What to Expect
-
Treatment Time: Quick and minimally invasive – usually 15 to 30 minutes
-
Downtime: No significant downtime – you can resume normal activities immediately
-
Aftercare: Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and lying flat for 4-6 hours post-treatment
-
Follow-up: A review appointment may be offered around 2 weeks to assess results and make any necessary adjustments
Anti-wrinkle treatments are safe when performed by a qualified practitioner and can be an excellent option for those looking to achieve a smoother, rejuvenated look without surgery.
