Anti Wrinkle Injections 

Anti-wrinkle treatment uses botulinum toxin type A to temporarily reduce the activity of selected facial muscles that repeatedly crease the overlying skin.

It is most effective for dynamic expression lines — such as frown lines, horizontal forehead lines and crow’s feet — which develop through repeated contraction of muscles including the corrugator, procerus, frontalis and orbicularis oculi. Over time, these repeated movements can contribute to lines becoming visible even when the face is at rest.

Treatment is tailored to the individual pattern of facial movement, muscle strength and anatomy, with the aim of reducing excessive contraction while preserving natural expression.

How does it work?

Neuromuscular signalling is reduced
Botulinum toxin acts at the junction between the nerve and muscle. It prevents the release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter responsible for signalling the muscle to contract.

​

Muscle contraction becomes temporarily weaker
Once signalling is reduced, the targeted muscle contracts with less force. This reduces repetitive folding of the skin over that muscle.

​

Dynamic lines begin to soften
Because the skin is no longer being repeatedly creased as strongly, expression lines become less pronounced and the overlying skin appears smoother. Dynamic lines generally respond better than established static wrinkles.

​

Treatment can also rebalance facial muscle activity
Botulinum toxin is not limited to forehead wrinkles. By selectively reducing activity in specific muscles, it can also be used for concerns such as masseter hypertrophy, chin dimpling, gummy smile, downturned mouth corners and platysmal neck bands.

​

Results develop progressively
Muscle relaxation begins over the first several days. The full effect is generally assessed at around two weeks, with effects commonly lasting approximately 3–4 months, although duration varies between individuals and treatment areas.

What are anti-wrinkle treatments used for? Anti-wrinkle treatments are used to soften dynamic lines caused by repeated facial movement, such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. They work by relaxing targeted muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles while maintaining natural facial expression.

Will anti-wrinkle treatment make my face look frozen? No. When administered correctly, anti-wrinkle treatments are designed to create a soft, natural result, not a frozen appearance. Dosage and placement are carefully tailored to preserve movement while reducing excessive muscle activity.

How long do anti-wrinkle results last? Results are temporary and typically last several months. Longevity varies depending on factors such as muscle strength, treatment area, dosage, and individual metabolism. Maintenance treatments are usually recommended to sustain results.

At what age should I consider anti-wrinkle treatments? There is no specific age. Some individuals choose treatment preventatively to reduce the development of deeper lines, while others seek treatment once lines become more noticeable. Suitability is based on facial movement and skin condition rather than age alone.

Is anti-wrinkle treatment safe? Anti-wrinkle treatments have a strong safety profile when performed by a qualified practitioner. A full consultation is carried out to assess suitability, medical history, and expectations before treatment is recommended.

Can anti-wrinkle treatments be combined with other procedures? Yes. Anti-wrinkle treatments are often combined with skin boosters, collagen-stimulating treatments, or facials to improve overall skin quality and achieve a more balanced, refreshed result.
