Anti Wrinkle Injections are one of the most common treatments in the cosmetic industry today and has been made famous in Hollywood by actors/actresses over the years. Without naming the product specifically (I think we all know what it is called) it is a simple nonsurgical procedure whereby tiny injections are accurately placed to relax specific facial muscles that are responsible for wrinkles due to persistent underlying tension and repeated contractions. The relaxing of these muscles results in a much smoother and fresher appearance to the treated area.
How do I know if Anti Wrinkle Injections are right for me?Over time, our skin reacts to many harsh external climatic factors, such as the sun. This, combined with general ageing causes a loss of elasticity in our face and the development of frown lines, forehead lines, and crows feet around the eyes. These lines often give us a tired or angry appearance or make us seem older beyond our years. Nowadays, there are simple non invasive procedures to help smooth out these facial lines and wrinkles through the relaxation of these muscles.
If looking your best is important and your frowning expression does not reflect how you are feeling, the benefits of Anti Wrinkle Injections are there for you! Other treatment areas include forehead lines and crow feet around the eyes. Not only movie stars but people from many walks of life enjoy the positive effects of these injections.
If there is a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients or any neuromuscular disorder, it is contraindicated. It is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Your treating doctor will advise and assess for loss of elasticity that comes with ageing, sun exposure or smoking that may also contribute to wrinkles.
No downtime for recovery is required. In fact, return to work or normal activity may be immediate.
After only a 10 minute treatment, within a few days you will be looking more relaxed and naturally fresher, with effects lasting up to four months.
This will of course depend on the dosage used and where the injection is placed. Results can vary on an individual basis and can vary to give the desired effect.
Your doctor will make recommendations for the best results and discuss any concerns you may have during consultation before the treatment is done.
The more often you have treatments, the less frequently it will be required as the results tend to last longer with each application.
Apart from the brief discomfort of injections with ultra-fine needles, minor bruising may occur, but is easily disguised by makeup. Ice packs and local anaesthetic creams may minimise this.
Known side effects may include headache, flu- like symptoms, nausea and more rarely temporary eye drooping.
Yes. There have never been any long term side effects reported from the use of Anti Wrinkle Injections. This treatment has been around for over 15 years and is commonly performed all over the world.
The most common use for this product is of course for cosmetic procedures; however, it is also used for other treatments such as in the treatment of spasticity and cerebral palsy.
You will not develop more wrinkles but the muscles will resume their normal activity and revert back to pre-treatment levels.
Apart from several medical conditions, these injections are also effective for excessive underarm sweating, frequently lasting more than 6 months.
