ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS

  • Anti-wrinkle injections help to relax certain muscles in the face that cause wrinkles
  • They can be used on frowns, crows feet, and forehead lines
  • They can also strategically relax certain muscles to create an eyebrow lift, reduce a gummy smile, slim the jaw line, and to stop the downward pull of muscles on the mouth and neck
  • They can help to prevent the permanent etching of lines into the face by constant muscle contraction
  • They work after 7-14 days and last for 3-4 months
  • They are a safe and effective means of reducing wrinkles
  • Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to reduce teeth grinding and reduce the size of the masseter (chewing) muscle, as well as help to reduce sweating when injected into the underarms or palms.

What are anti-wrinkle injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections, are composed of a natural, purified protein. Due to restrictions from the TGA, the actual name of the anti-wrinkle injection cannot be used here.

When injected into specific facial muscles, wrinkle-causing muscles are relaxed to reduce dynamic lines and create a younger, softer, and natural-looking appearance.

How do anti-wrinkle injections work?

Anti-wrinkle injections treat wrinkles caused by the contraction of facial muscles. They inhibit the transmission of neurotransmitter from the nerve to the muscle and stop the muscle from contracting and forming wrinkles. For example, they can be used to relax the muscles of the frown to prevent the appearance of a vertical frown line, or around the eyes to prevent the appearance of crows feet. It is important to note that anti-wrinkle injections do not immediately improve static lines, or lines that are present at rest. These can be treated by adding volume with dermal fillers or through skin resurfacing. However, usually over a number of anti-wrinkle treatments, the skin that is normally creased has time to rest and recover and an improvement in static lines may be gradually seen. The fact that anti-wrinkle injections also stop the constant compression of skin, prevents the permanent ‘etching’ of wrinkles in the areas treated.
