Anti-wrinkle injections are for anyone wanting to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
What are anti-wrinkle injections
Anti-wrinkle injections are a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium. Botulinum toxin can relax the muscles on areas of the face and neck which cause wrinkles associated with facial expressions or facial pain. Treatment can improve the appearance of wrinkles by injecting small doses of the toxin into the targeted muscles. The Therapeutic Goods Administration has approved the use of anti-wrinkle injections for the temporary relief of moderate to severe frown lines and recommends that the procedure be performed every 3-4 months or as needed for desired results. There is evidence to show that repeated treatments every 3-4 months allows for the optimal result.
What results can I expect from anti-wrinkle injections?
The effects of anti-wrinkle injections begin within 2-7 days post-injection but may take 2 -4 weeks for the peak result to occur, with the duration of effect lasting up to 3 months. The effects may vary from person to person. Treatment effects are temporary and retreatment at regular intervals is recommended to maintain the results.
