Anti-Wrinkle Treatments

Anti-Wrinkle injections are used to treat facial wrinkles and lines, which are caused by repeated facial muscle contraction during expressions. As we age over time, these lines become deeper and more prominent.  Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin made by a bacterium called bacteria clostridium. When injected into the muscle, the botulinum toxin works by temporarily causing muscle paralysis. This prevents muscle contraction, thereby softening/eradicating the lines. 


If the lines are already static at rest, they can be softened, but they won't disappear completely. It is therefore important to note that this treatment is best done preventatively before the lines have formed.

Treatment

After assessment, small injections are placed into the muscle. No numbing is needed as there is very little discomfort. 

The appointment takes around 15-20 minutes.

Downtime

There is no downtime with this treatment and people can resume their day as normal!

It is common to see small raised blebs on the surface of the skin after the procedure. However these usually disappear within 1 hour of treatment.
