Anti-wrinkle injections are a well known and trusted name in the fight against getting older. It involves the injection of the Anti-wrinkle injections solution to problem areas such as crows feet, foreheads or around the mouth. The treatment works by relaxing the muscle in the chosen area and subsequently creates a smooth more youthful looking complexion.

What age should I start having Anti-wrinkle injections?

As a general rule, anti wrinkle treatments become an option as dynamic lines (frown lines, smile lines) are constantly visible. Lifestyle can be a factor. For example if smoke or are often exposed to the sun, you may decide to consider treatment at an earlier age. For patients heading into their 50s, treatment may be less effective as lines have become well established and deeper set.
Is Anti-wrinkle injections a safe treatment?

The Anti-wrinkle injections solution contains a substance which is specifically designed to stop the release of acetylcholine. When the muscle is more relaxed the face appears smoother and the appearance of lines is massively reduced.
BOTOX
Your face is the first thing that people notice about you. But when your appearance no longer reflects the way you feel on the inside, it may be time for a change.
In time, your skin loses its full, firm, youthful appearance. From the age of 30 onwards we start losing significant collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin. As a result, our skin becomes loose and starts to wrinkle.
In some, the tissue quality has dropped more rapidly, and a person can look older than their actual age. If you feel the quality of your facial and body tissue has started to become lax or is drooping significantly or maybe you are looking older than your age, you should consider the following treatment options.
