Anti-wrinkle injections, also known as neuromodulators are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It works by temporarily relaxing facial muscles, which helps smooth out dynamic wrinkles caused by expressions such as smiling, frowning, or squinting. Commonly treated areas include forehead lines, crow’s feet around the eyes, and frown lines between the eyebrows. The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort and no downtime, making it a convenient option for those seeking a refreshed, youthful appearance.
THE BENEFITS:
Anti-Wrinkle Injections are derived from botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein that blocks nerve signals to muscles. When injected into targeted areas, it prevents the release of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which is responsible for muscle contractions. Without these signals, the muscles temporarily relax.
Duration:
15-30 minutes.
Recommended Sessions:
Results typically last from 3-4 months.
Side Effects:
Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites may occur, but these typically subside within a few hours to a day. Some people experience mild headaches or slight discomfort after treatment.
After Treatment Care:
No downtime. You can return to your normal activities immediately, though it is advised to avoid laying down for a few hours and strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Follow any additional care instructions provided by your practitioner for optimal results.
