The anti-wrinkle injection treatments involve multiple tiny injections in the area being treated for wrinkles. Anti-wrinkle medicine is injected directly into the muscles, causing wrinkles, using a small needle, and is given in very tiny amounts.
The effectiveness of the anti-wrinkle injection treatments may vary from person to person. Hence there is a need for your treatment to be tailored specifically for you. A skilled doctor can assess and adjust the dosage and injection sites for your treatment to produce the desired outcomes. In various clinical trials, more than 95% of clients highly rated the improvement in their frown lines one month after the anti-wrinkle injection treatment.
The anti-wrinkle injection treatments cause relaxation of the injected muscles, reducing the muscle tone and muscle movement in that area. This reduced muscle movement prevents the creasing of the overlying skin, reducing the formation of lines and wrinkles in the skin. The anti-wrinkle injection treatments work on only the specific muscles which have been injected. The surrounding muscles continue to function as before, maintaining the normal facial function and expressions.
The anti-wrinkle injection treatment also has the role of being a preventative treatment. If the skin is not able to crease due to the muscle movement, wrinkles are also not able to appear on the skin. Over multiple sessions, the benefits of the anti-wrinkle injection treatment become more evident and impressive.
The anti-wrinkle injection treatments are very safe. The anti-wrinkle injection treatments have been used in various medical conditions for over 30 years. Since the late 1980s, the anti-wrinkle injections have been successfully used for cosmetic usages. Some minor risks depend on the technique and improper location/ dosage of treatment, including lid ptosis, brow ptosis, cheek ptosis, etc., and self-limiting within few weeks. The side effects of the anti-wrinkle injection treatments are not permanent, and any undesired effect usually disappears within a few days to a few weeks. Because of the low risk associated with this, the anti-wrinkle injection treatment is the most popular aesthetic treatment. Note: Ensure you find a good, well-qualified practitioner to keep your risks as low as possible.
After the anti-wrinkle injection treatment, there may be minimal redness. Bruising is uncommon, especially if proper precautions during the injection treatment are taken. Most patients continue with their typical day to day activities without anyone noticing. It is important not to massage the treated areas after anti-wrinkle injection treatment. It is essential to avoid a facial or vigorous exercise after anti-wrinkle injection treatment.
The needles used for the anti-wrinkle injection treatment are extremely thin and tiny. The anti-wrinkle injections do not hurt much, and many patients even don’t realize that they have received the injections.
The actual time taken for the anti-wrinkle injections is only 5-10 minutes. For a patient getting it for the first time, the consultation may take about 30 min. During this time patient is asked about the medical history and desires/ expectations concerning the anti-wrinkle injection treatment.
The wrinkle and lines on the upper half of the face are the ones that are most commonly treated with the anti-wrinkle injection treatment. Around 95% of all the anti-wrinkle aesthetic injection treatments are given in this region. Forehead horizontal lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet lines near the outer corner of eyes are the most popular treated areas with the anti-wrinkle injections.
