about anti wrinkle treatment
Anti-wrinkle injectables work to prevent the formation of static wrinkles by stopping the signal between the nerve and muscle. By decreasing muscle movement, the treatment places less stress on the skin, helping you maintain a fresh and youthful appearance. It is most effective when used as a preventative measure. The botulinum toxin temporarily stops muscle activity, which causes wrinkles to smooth and can also stop spasms. Beyond cosmetic benefits, anti-wrinkle injections can release pain and inflammatory mediators, providing relief from conditions like chronic migraines.
The treatment involves injecting a purified protein into targeted facial muscles to temporarily weaken them. This effectively softens existing wrinkles and prevents new ones from forming. It is particularly effective for reducing forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet, creating a smoother, rejuvenated, and natural-looking appearance.
Areas of Treatment
Frown lines
Forehead lines are the horizontal lines that appear across the forehead due to repeated movement of the frontalis muscle, the muscle responsible for raising your eyebrows. Over time, these lines can deepen and become more noticeable, even when the face is at rest. Wrinkle-relaxing injections target this muscle activity to help smooth the skin and reduce visible creases. By temporarily weakening the frontalis muscle, the treatment softens expression lines and helps restore a more youthful, relaxed appearance.
Crow’s feet
Crow’s Feet, also known as laughter lines, are the fine lines and wrinkles that appear at the outer corners of the eyes. Caused by repeated facial expressions like smiling and squinting, as well as a natural decline in skin elasticity with age, these lines can become more pronounced over time. Anti-wrinkle injections work by relaxing the orbicularis oculi muscles responsible for these movements, helping to smooth the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines around the eyes for a more refreshed and youthful look.
Bunny lines
Bunny lines are the small, diagonal wrinkles that appear on either side of the nose, often becoming more visible when smiling, laughing, or scrunching the nose. These fine lines develop over time due to repeated muscle contractions. Our anti-wrinkle injections help relax the underlying muscles by temporarily blocking nerve signals, softening the appearance of bunny lines and restoring a smoother, more youthful look to the nose area.
Top lip lines
Top lip lines, often referred to as “smoker’s lines” or “lipstick lines,” become noticeable when you purse your lips. These fine vertical wrinkles can deepen over time due to repeated lip movements and loss of skin elasticity. At our Surrey aesthetic clinic, anti-wrinkle injections help relax the muscles above the upper lip, smoothing the lines and subtly enhancing the lip’s shape. The result is a softer, more defined lip area with a naturally rejuvenated look.
Forehead Lines
These are the horizontal lines that appear across the forehead due to repeated eyebrow movements. Over time, these lines can deepen and become noticeable even when your face is at rest. Wrinkle-relaxing injections target the frontalis muscle to smooth the skin, soften expression lines, and restore a more youthful, relaxed appearance.
nose tip
A drooping or downward-pointing nose tip can be a common concern. A small amount of wrinkle-relaxing injectables can be strategically placed at the base of the nose to relax the depressor septi nasi muscle, which pulls the tip of the nose down. This treatment provides a subtle “lift” to the nose tip, creating a more refined and balanced facial profile without the need for surgery.
