Anti-Wrinkle Injections

How Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work

These injections contain a purified form of botulinum toxin. When injected in very small, controlled amounts into specific facial muscles, they:

• Relax the targeted muscles

• Reduce muscle movement that causes wrinkles

• Allow the skin above to smooth out naturally

They do not fill the skin (that’s what dermal fillers do); instead, they soften expression lines.

Common Treatment Areas

• Forehead lines

• Frown lines (between the eyebrows / “11 lines”)

• Crow’s feet (around the eyes)

• Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)

• Chin dimpling

• Jawline slimming (masseter muscles)

• Neck bands

Benefits of Anti-Wrinkle Injections

✔ Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
✔ Prevents deep wrinkles from forming
✔ Non-surgical and minimally invasive
✔ Quick procedure (lunch-time treatment)
✔ Natural-looking results when done correctly
✔ No long recovery time
✔ Can improve facial symmetry
✔ May help with medical issues like jaw clenching, migraines, and excessive sweating

Time Duration of the Treatment

• Procedure time: 10–20 minutes

• Results start appearing: 3–5 days

• Full results visible: 10–14 days

• Duration of results: 3–6 months

Regular treatments can help train muscles to relax, sometimes making results last longer over time.

Important Factors to Know Before Treatment

Note
