Anti wrinkle injections are Botulinum Toxin Type A that are injected into facial muscles, and work by blocking the release of acetylcholine that is responsible for muscle contraction within the face.
With age and the natural reduction in collagen production, lines will start to form at rest, due to the lack of skin laxity from the repetition of muscle movement over time. By relaxing the muscles, it can smooth out the lines, making a significant improvement, but it must be noted, depending on the depth, they may not completely disappear. Another positive note for those with lines at rest, is that this treatment will stop the damage from getting any deeper over time. Hence why prevention is so important, and people in their 20’s have started to get this treatment, to prevent lines and wrinkles from ever forming.
Full results can be seen at two weeks, and new clients may need a review to check the results and muscle movement, and if there is some muscle movement, a small amount of additional toxin may be injected into the area, this will be down to the practitioners professional judgement.
Results can last upto 12 weeks and 12 weekly treatments are recommended for best results.
