Anti-wrinkle injection is a purified protein that has the ability to relax muscles into which it is injected. This relaxation may be partial or complete, depending on the amount of anti-wrinkle injection used and on the relative strength of the muscles in the target area. The relaxation is temporary and will gradually fade as the treated muscle gradually regains its movement over time.

 

Treatable Areas with Anti-Wrinkle Injection

Who is a candidate for Anti-Wrinkle Injection?

There are two types of wrinkles on the face: static wrinkles and dynamic wrinkles. Static wrinkles are present even when the face is at rest without expression. Dynamic wrinkles are those which appear or become significantly more apparent with facial expression.

Anti-wrinkle injection is ideal for the treatment of dynamic wrinkles of the face. It is most commonly used to treat the lines between our eyebrows (frown lines), around the eyes (crow’s feet), and the horizontal lines of the forehead.

It can also be used for neckbands, wide muscular jaws, and certain lip lines.

Any person who wishes to minimise the effects of the aging process and desires a fresh, relaxed appearance—particularly around the eyes and forehead—is a candidate. Anti-wrinkle injection should relax and refresh this area. It is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women.

 

What other cosmetic treatments can be combined with Anti-Wrinkle Injection?

One of the most effective combination treatments with anti-wrinkle injection is Dermal Fillers such as Belotero or Juvederm. When combined, an instant rejuvenation facelift can be achieved, using anti-wrinkle injection in the brow and forehead region and dermal fillers in the lower face: cheeks, mouth, jawline, lips, and/or smile lines.

 

Can Anti-Wrinkle Injection be used for Excessive Sweating?

Anti-wrinkle injection is also an effective treatment for Hyperhidrosis, commonly known as excessive sweating, affecting areas such as under the arms or the palms of the hands.
