Anti-wrinkle injections work to reduce the visual effects of wrinkles by relaxing specific muscles and are arguably the most sought-after cosmetic treatment - but have you ever wondered how they actually work? We have the answers to your burning questions.
The main ingredient in these cosmetic injections is Botulinum toxin Type A. This powerful substance is responsible for combating wrinkles by targeting the muscles that cause wrinkles in the skin, focusing primarily on the upper face (although it can also be applied to the mid-face, lower face, neck regions).
Once the Botulinum toxin is injected into the appropriate areas, it seeks out the connection between the muscle and the nerve and cleverly temporarily blocks it, effectively putting the muscle on pause. The beauty of this treatment is that it not only smooths out existing wrinkles but also prevents new ones from forming. Over time, even the deepest wrinkles can soften, giving your face a brighter and more refreshed appearance. The temporary relaxation of the muscle lasts between 3-4 months, after which a follow-up treatment is recommended to maintain results.
So, if you're looking for a safe and effective way to combat wrinkles and enhance your appearance, anti-wrinkle injections might just be the answer you've been searching for.
Did you know that anti-wrinkle injections can also be used to eliminate excessive sweating in the armpits, hands and even feet? This is an incredibly embarrassing condition called hyperhidrosis which is easily treated!
