Anti-Wrinkle injections are a popular, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes a purified protein called Botulinum toxin type A to temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face. It works by blocking nerve signals to the targeted muscles, causing them to relax and resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin. Common treatment areas include forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines.

The process of having Anti-Wrinkle injections typically involves the following steps:

​

1. Consultation: Before the procedure, you'll have a consultation with a qualified and experienced practitioner to discuss your concerns, goals, and medical history. The practitioner will evaluate your facial anatomy and expressions to determine the most suitable treatment plan.

2. Preparation: The treatment area will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

3. Injection: The practitioner will use a fine needle to inject into the targeted muscles, carefully placing each injection to achieve the desired effect while minimizing side effects.

4. Aftercare: The procedure usually takes 10-20 minutes, and you can resume most activities immediately afterward. However, you may be advised to avoid strenuous activities, lying down, or massaging the treated area for a few hours to prevent migration to unintended muscles.

5. Results: The full effects of anti-wrinkle injections typically become visible within 7-14 days and can last anywhere from 3-6 months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism, muscle activity, and the treated area. To maintain results, follow-up treatments are usually required.
