Unfortunately as we age lines on the face appear. The cause of wrinkles is varied, however, when you laugh, frown, concentrate or squint your facial muscles contract, causing wrinkles to form. These wrinkles can leave you looking tired, sad or angry. In particular, the frown lines worry most people.
Anti-Wrinkle injections can relax these muscles for a period of a few months, thus softening or eliminating wrinkles on the surface of the skin.
How It Works
Anti-Wrinkle injections are a protein extracted from the naturally occurring bacterium, Clostridium botulinum. The protein works by blocking the nerve impulses to the injected muscles. The muscles that are specific to causing wrinkles are targeted, allowing these muscles to relax. Once the muscles are relaxed, the overlying wrinkles soften or disappear.
Some typical types of Wrinkles treated include;
- Crow’s Feet – Wrinkles at the corners of the eyes
- Frown Lines – Wrinkles between the eyebrows
- Forehead Lines – Wrinkles in the forehead, usually horizontal
- Bunny Lines – Wrinkles due to nose scrunching
- Chin Lines – Horizontal creases above the chin
- Smile Lines / Nasolabial Lines – Wrinkles from the side of the nose past the corner of the mouth
- Sleep Lines – Wrinkles almost perpendicular to Crow’s Feet, Forehead Lines and adjacent to the nose
- Smokers Lines – Vertical Lines around the mouth due to a tensing action
Wrinkle Injection treatment is one of the safest and most effective treatments in Cosmetic Medicine today. Both men and women can benefit from this treatment. People who dislike the effects of ageing on their face, have a stressed, cranky or tired look due to fine lines and wrinkles; will find this treatment beneficial.
Within days there is a noticeable improvement in those persistent lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.
