Wrinkle Treatments and Wrinkle Reduction Injections

There are several anti-wrinkle treatments including wrinkle reduction injections and dermal fillers. Wrinkles form from either overactive muscles or the loss of collagen. The lines in the top part of your face (from your hair line to below your eyes) are generally caused by overactive muscles. These lines need to be treated with Botox. The lines in the bottom part of your face are caused by loss collagen. These lines can be treated with Dermal Fillers.

Below are the examples of wrinkle reduction treatments:

Muscle relaxant – Wrinkle Reduction Injections

Frown lines (wrinkles between the eyebrows) crow’s feet (wrinkles around the eyes) and forehead lines (wrinkles in the forehead) appear because of persistent small muscle contractions. Wrinkles that are caused by persistent small muscle contractions need to be treated with an Injectable Muscle Relaxant

• Anti-wrinkle injections are designed to relax various muscles that can cause wrinkles on the face
• Commonly used on: forehead lines, smile lines (round the eyes) and the frown lines as well as eyebrow lifting
• Other useful applications are reducing excessive sweating (hyperhydrosis), jawline shaping, neck lines and a downward smile, calf contouring and general facial rejuvenation
• The results kick in after 3-5 days,  and last 3-4 months in most cases
• Anti-wrinkle injections have been used for over 20 years and are both safe and effective
• Commonly dermal fillers are used in combination with anti-wrinkle injections to acheive optimal results in facial rejuvenation.

Dermal Fillers - Wrinkle Reduction Fillers

The wrinkles in the lower part of your face are generally caused by the loss of collagen, resulting in saggy skin.

There are two ways to correct these lines and hollows:

1. Synthetic Filler

Dermal filler may be used to fill lines and can be used alone or in conjunction with an Injectable Muscle Relaxant.

2. Collagen Induction

Dermal Stimulator, Lasers with no downtime, Lasers with downtime, ALA Photodynamic Therapy or Medical Needling can be used to induce your own collagen to remodel.

What Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections  And How Do Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work?

Anti-wrinkle injections are made from a purified protein source, if you like would further information on the specific brand / drug name, please click here.

The product works by temporarily blocking the signal between the nerve and the muscle which limits the amount of movement in that muscle for 3-4 months. Normal muscular movement is restored once the product has worn off. The result of the treatment is a more youthful, refreshed appearance with fewer wrinkles and lines.

Be aware that anti-wrinkles injections will not improve “static” lines (lines which appear even when you’re not expressing yourself). These kinds of lines are more caused by collagen loss and will usually require a resurfacing laser and or dermal fillers to achieve the optimal result. When used before deep lines set in, these injections can quite often prevent them from forming.
