Used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Anti wrinkle injections work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. When injected into specific muscles, it can reduce or eliminate wrinkles by relaxing those muscles. This reduction in muscular movement leads to smoother skin and a more youthful and radiant look. It’s commonly used for cosmetic purposes, in areas such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.
The best time to consider having wrinkle relaxing treatment is when animating lines start to appear at rest. Often this is between the ages of 30-40 years but this may vary from person to person. Treatment can be carried out on a much older ageing face, however results will often be more subtle.
Wrinkle relaxing treatments are one of the fastest working, safe and effective non-surgical, anti-ageing treatments available.
