Anti-Wrinkle Injections, also known as wrinkle relaxers, stand out as the most effective solution for addressing lines and wrinkles. This treatment involves injecting a purified protein directly into the targeted muscles, precisely addressing and calming excessive contractions in the facial muscles. This process smoothes out fine lines and wrinkles, providing a serene and naturally youthful appearance. Essentially, it acts as a pause button on the ageing process and has the potential to thwart the development of deeper, more enduring wrinkles.
​
As we age, the emergence of lines and wrinkles associated with facial expressions becomes noticeable. These are referred to as dynamic lines. The ongoing and repeated use of facial muscles, coupled with ageing-related factors such as volume loss, alterations to facial bones, and the deterioration of collagen and elastin in the skin, eventually transforms dynamic lines into static lines, which are visible even when at rest.
Dynamic lines linked to facial movements can be effectively addressed through anti-wrinkle injections. This leads to successful 'wrinkle relaxation' in the targeted area. Anti-Wrinkle Injections specifically target a muscle group and work to temporarily reduce movement in the area, resulting in diminished visibility of wrinkles.
​
The mechanism of Anti-Wrinkle Injections involves blocking the transmission of messages between nerve and muscle cells, rendering muscle cells unable to contract. This reduction in muscle contraction not only diminishes the appearance of existing wrinkles but also serves as a preventive measure against the formation of new ones.

Post CareAnti-wrinkle injections entail minimal downtime, allowing you to resume regular activities after the procedure. Some common post-treatment effects include mild swelling, redness, and occasional bruising at the injection sites. Comprehensive aftercare instructions will be provided. To enhance safety and achieve optimal results, consider the following precautions: - Maintain an upright position for at least 4 hours following the treatment. - Refrain from alcohol and activities that generate heat for 24 hours, such as strenuous exercise, spas, solariums, saunas, hot showers, or prolonged sun exposure. - Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area for 24 hours. - Steer clear of applying makeup or active skincare, including AHAs, retinols, or Vitamin C, to the treated area for 24 hours to minimise infection risks. - Postpone any facial treatments like laser procedures, peels, or waxing for at least 2 weeks after the injection. - In case of a mild headache after the anti-wrinkle treatment, consider using pain relief such as paracetamol. Avoid anti-inflammatory medications like aspirin, fish oils, and Vitamin E, as they may lead to bleeding or bruising. - Apply ice to alleviate discomfort, swelling, and bruising. - Schedule a recommended 2-week follow-up appointment for a positive outcome and potential additional units if needed.

How long will the results last?Typically, most individuals experience the benefits of Anti-Wrinkle injections for approximately 3-4 months. Although the treated muscles gradually revert to their pre-injection state, resulting in the return of wrinkles, many people observe that the lines still appear softer. This outcome is attributed to higher doses, which induce relaxation across the entire muscle. Individuals seeking a more natural look with residual movement may find that the treatment's duration is shorter but delivers a softer aesthetic. It is crucial to understand that the treated area doesn't immediately resume normal activity, transitioning from frozen muscles for three months to sudden movement overnight. The muscles begin to contract again as new nerve 'sprouting' takes place, typically occurring 4-6 weeks post-treatment. To sustain muscle relaxation and prevent the emergence of new wrinkles, repeated injections are advisable, positioning Anti-Wrinkle injections as an ideal preventative measure. Through repeated treatments, the effects often endure for more extended periods, as muscles gradually weaken over time. This results in longer intervals between treatments. Tailoring the dosage is crucial, and it may take a few sessions to determine the optimal dose (usually around three treatments), striking a balance between achieving the desired results and ensuring treatment longevity. Various factors, including metabolism, intense exercise, and concurrent illnesses, can influence the duration of the effects.
