HOW THEY WORK

Anti-wrinkle injections are designed to diminish the visibility of wrinkles and lines by blocking the chemical signals between nerves and targeted muscles, essentially relaxing the muscles.

Anti-wrinkle injections consist of proteins that are designed to relax the associated muscles. When injected into the desired area, the product works to briefly impede nerve activity and induce muscle paralysis, restricting movement, which may result in minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Prior to administering the wrinkle relaxers, your physician may use a topical anaesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. The anti-wrinkle product is then injected into the target muscle, just below the surface of the skin. You may experience a brief stinging and prickling sensation; the treatment typically takes between 15 to 30 minutes.

RESULTS

It is important to note that the outcomes of your anti-wrinkle treatment will not be noticeable immediately noticeable after treatment. Typically, you should anticipate results to take effect within about two to three days, with visible results occurring around two weeks. The effects of wrinkle relaxants are temporary, typically lasting for about three to four months, though this duration may vary depending on the individual. Candidates with muscular builds may need more frequent treatments or a higher doses of cosmetic injectables.
