Anti-wrinkle

Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to treat several areas on the face, including:

• Frown lines – Forehead lines when you squint or frown
• Crow’s feet– Also known as smile lines on the corner of the eyes.
• Bunny lines – Fine lines appearing at the top of the nose when scrunching your nose
• Gummy Smile – Relaxing the muscle above the upper lip can prevent lifting, hence reducing gum exposure.
• Jaw line – Botox can relax the masseter muscle
• Necklines – Include horizontal and vertical lines (Nefertiti Neck Lift), can be caused by aging and spending too much time looking own eg on your phone.
• Hyperhidrosis – Anti-wrinkle to treat excessive sweating and facial flushing.
  Dimple chin and Marionette lines-
• Smokers lines – Botox gently relaxes the muscles used to make the pursing expression, gently smoothing out the skin.
• Dimple Chin – Anti-wrinkle injections smooth out the appearance of the pebble chin.
• Jaw line – Botox can relax the masseter muscle, softening the wide set jaw line and tightening the skin, resulting in a slimmer jaw line.

Anti-wrinkle injections last for 3 – 4 months depending on the client.  Top up treatment is required after 3 months for most clients.

Small amounts of anti-wrinkle solution (such as Botox) is injected in the area using a fine needle, an optional numbing cream can be applied if required. However, the process is relatively pain-free and can take as little as 15 minutes.

Results are seen within the first 2 weeks and the optimal results in 4 weeks.  The anti-wrinkle injections can last up to 6 month, however top up treatment will be required after 3-4 months to maintain the smooth appearance.
