Anti-Wrinkle - 2 Areas + 3rd FREE

Anti-wrinkle injection is a cosmetic procedure that involves the injection of a substance, often a neurotoxin, to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. The most commonly used substance for this purpose is botulinum toxin.

‍

Botulinum toxin works by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected. This causes temporary muscle paralysis, preventing the muscles from contracting and forming wrinkles. The injection is commonly used in areas of the face where dynamic wrinkles occur, such as frown lines between the eyebrows, crow's feet around the eyes, and forehead lines.

‍

Here's how it generally works:

‍

1. Procedure: During the procedure, our Aesthetic Doctor injects small amounts of the neurotoxin into targeted facial muscles. The procedure is relatively quick and usually done in an outpatient setting.
2. Results: The effects of anti-wrinkle injections are not permanent and last for a 3-4 months. As the muscle action gradually returns, wrinkles and lines begin to reappear, and follow-up treatments are usually needed to maintain the desired results.
3. Uses: Common areas treated with anti-wrinkle injections include the forehead, frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and crow's feet around the eyes. It's important to note that the use of these injections is primarily for cosmetic purposes, and they are not a permanent solution to aging.

• Certain Medications: Some medications, especially those that affect blood clotting, may increase the risk of bruising at the injection site. It's important to disclose all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies to the healthcare provider before the procedure.
• Medical Conditions: Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as certain skin conditions or autoimmune disorders, may need to exercise caution, and the decision to proceed with anti-wrinkle injections should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional.

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: The safety of anti-wrinkle injections during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been thoroughly studied, so it is typically recommended to avoid these injections during these periods.
• Neuromuscular Disorders: Individuals with certain neuromuscular disorders, such as myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, may be at increased risk of adverse effects from botulinum toxin and are often advised against the use of anti-wrinkle injections.
• Previous Adverse Reactions: Individuals who have had a previous adverse reaction to botulinum toxin or a similar injection should not undergo anti-wrinkle injections.
