Anti wrinkle injections

Anti-wrinkle injections are a fantastic anti-ageing treatment that reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the face and neck. Anti-wrinkle injections smooth existing wrinkles and help prevent the formation of new ones. Relaxing the muscles with carefully placed anti-wrinkle injections can quickly and effectively decrease movement in the muscle, placing less stress on the skin helping you maintain a fresh and youthful appearance. 

UPPER FACE 

In the upper face, anti-wrinkle injections are used to treat: 

Crow’s feet lines appear at the side of the eyes and are the result of squinting and smiling. 

Forehead lines are usually only visible in younger people when frowning, but as we age they become more visible. 

Frown lines are between the brows running vertically (the lines you get when you frown heavily). Patients often say that strong lines in this area make them look cross even when they are not. Injections for both male and female patients helps to soften the look of the face. 

Bunny lines are the lines that look like creases across the bridge of the nose between the eyebrows. They are the lines that appear when you wrinkle your nose like a bunny. As the skin ages, these lines fail to spring back and can give a more aged appearance. 

LOWER FACE 

In the lower face, anti-wrinkle injections are used to treat: 

Gummy smile: When some people smile, they may find that too much of their gum is visible, this is more common on the top palate. The technical name for this is excessive gingival display. A number of methods are available to correct this. Today, the most common treatment used to weaken and soften the muscles in the area to stop them pulling the lip upwards. 

Chin: If the chin is set back (receded), the shape of the face often looks distorted. The treatment can help to relax the muscles that pull the chin back. This softens the profile and creates a softer, more naturally relaxed look. As a natural part of the ageing process, the skin on the lower face begins to droop due to its loss of elasticity and gravity pulling it downwards. 

Jawline: Muscle relaxing injections to the jawline and into the Platysma below the jaw muscles helps to reduce the sagging and drooping of the jawline. 

Masseter: The masseter is one of the muscles that helps you chew. It’s located on the side of your face and connects your cheekbone to your lower jawbone. Injection of toxin into the masseter muscle will cause the muscle to shrink. This relieves pain and discomfort from grinding, and also reduces the width of the lower face, resulting in a slimmer facial profile.

Marionette: There are the lines that protrude downwards from the lip. A combination of toxin and dermal fillers can treat this. The toxin will relax the muscles causing the downward pull to help the skin spring back up.
