Anti-Wrinkle Injections are a remarkably effective treatment in both treating and preventing the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, working to reveal a smooth and more taught appearance to the face. The treatment is made up of a number of very small injections administered with absolute precision and an ultra-fine needle.
The injections contain a substance called Toxin A – a protein which works by blocking the release of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. This in turn stops the muscle from contracting. When injected in small doses, the Toxin A will cause the muscle to relax: as a result, the overlying skin becomes smoother and fine lines and wrinkles will soften or disappear completely.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections uncover a youthful and refreshed look by eliminating expression lines or wrinkles that intensify over time as we age, such as frown lines, forehead lines, bunny lines and crow’s feet.
Appropriate doses as advised by your aesthetics practitioner will not restrict expressive movement, but subtly enhance your appearance for a natural look.
