Anti-Wrinkle

Anti-wrinkle injections are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment used to smooth fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing specific facial muscles.

 

What are they?

 

They are small injections of a purified protein (most commonly botulinum toxin) that temporarily blocks nerve signals to targeted muscles. This prevents the muscle from contracting, which softens the appearance of wrinkles.

 

What areas do they treat?

 

Most commonly used on:

 

- Forehead lines

- Frown lines (between the brows)

- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)

 

They can also be used for:

 

- Bunny lines (nose)

- Jaw slimming

- Neck bands

- Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)

​

How do they work?

 

When you make facial expressions (like frowning or squinting), muscles contract and create lines. Over time, these lines become permanent.

 

Anti-wrinkle injections:

→ Relax the muscle

→ Reduce movement

→ Smooth the skin above it

​

How long do they last?

 

- Start working: 3–5 days

- Full results: 10–14 days

- Duration: 3–4 months

​

Are they the same as dermal fillers?

 

No — they’re often confused.

 

Anti-wrinkle injections = relax muscles

Dermal fillers = add volume and structure

​

Do they look natural?

 

When done correctly, yes. The goal is:

 

- Softer lines

- Maintained facial expression

- Natural, refreshed appearance (not “frozen”)

​

Safety

 

They are generally very safe when administered by a qualified medical professional. Side effects are usually mild and temporary (e.g. slight swelling or bruising).
