Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle injections can achieve a tighter, smoother appearance.

 

As skin ages, production of collagen and elastin which give the skin its strength and elasticity reduces. The repetition of skin creasing by our expressions breaks collagen and can create permanent lines.

 

Fine lines under the eyes, Crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles – they are all the dreaded tell-tale signs of aging. But now, thanks to anti-wrinkle injections, you can achieve a well-rested, youthful look which is subtle, yet incredibly effective.

 

We can’t stop the clock on aging, but we have the power to slow it down. Anti-wrinkle injections are on the front line of anti-ageing treatments. When injected in small doses into targeted areas, anti-wrinkle injections block the signals between the nerves and the muscles, causing the muscles to relax. They reduce the appearance of lines to produce a look that is fresh, more youthful and, most importantly, natural.

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas can be treated?

The most common treatment areas for wrinkle reduction are crow’s feet (lines around the outer eyes), glabella (between the eyes) and the forehead. Other areas including ‘bunny lines’ (lines on the nose), jaw-line, chin and neck may also be treated. Muscle relaxants can even be used to treat excessive sweating and jaw grinding.

Is the treatment painful?

An anti wrinkle inject-able is administered with a very fine needle, and takes only a few seconds. It’s the tiny prick of the needle for a moment, and most patients tolerate it very well. Topical anesthetic will be applied and leave on prior to ensure your utmost comfort throughout the procedure.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers primarily bring back lost volume to your face, to smoothen deep skin folds and wrinkles. Why is this required?

Your collagen and also elastin storage decrease about 2% annually. Fillers have actually been utilized for years to recover lost facial volume and to lift sagging skin.

 

While dermal fillers are casually known as “wrinkle fillers,” they can do much more than just smooth out wrinkles, although they are excellent at this too! Here are a few of the common issues dermal fillers can help address:
