Wrinkle-smoothing injections offer a customised solution for individuals seeking to reduce facial lines and wrinkles.
Tailored to the unique needs of each individual, these injections are designed to soften lines while preserving natural movement. This flexibility allows patients to choose whether they prefer some degree of movement or a more still appearance.
Initially targeting dynamic wrinkles, which manifest from facial expressions and over activity, the treatment aims to prevent the progression to static wrinkles - lines that persist even at rest.
Once formed, static wrinkles are more challenging to remove; the procedure commonly involves a combination of injections, fillers and lasers to achieve a natural and harmonious outcome.
Wrinkle-smoothing injections work by temporarily blocking nerve signals to specific areas of the facial muscles, allowing the muscles to relax. As a result, the skin overlying the muscles also relaxes, smoothing out the visible lines. Over a period of on average 3-4 months, the treatment wears off and wrinkles slowly return.
Common areas treated:
Frown area (vertical lines between eyebrows)
Forehead area (horizontal lines when raising eyebrows)
Crow’s feet area (lines around the eyes)
Other areas include:
Downturned corners of the mouth
Corners of the mouth by relaxing specific muscles that contribute to a downturned appearance, this treatment provides a subtle lift, restoring a more youthful and uplifting contour to the mouth area.
Dimply chin
Wrinkle-smoothing injections can be used to relax the mentalis muscle in the chin, reducing the appearance of dimples or wrinkles in that area.
Face/jaw slimming
Through injecting muscle relaxants into the masseter muscles, the jaw area relaxes, attaining a slimmer line and reduction in width.
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
Wrinkle-smoothing injections effectively reduce excessive sweating by blocking signals from nerves that stimulate sweat glands.
