Anti-Wrinkle injections are a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing the muscles that cause them. It involves injecting a small amount of a safe and effective muscle-relaxing agent into specific facial muscles.

Anyone who is looking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, particularly around the eyes, forehead, and mouth, may be a candidate.

Anti-wrinkle injections can be used for a number of concerns which include:

• Forehead Lines

• Glabella Lines

• Crow’s Feet

• Bunny Lines

• Drooping Brows

• Gummy Smile

• Downturned mouth corners

• Chin Dimpling

• Bruxism

• Jawline Slimming

• Neck Bands (Platysma Bands)

Anti-wrinkle injections are considered a safe and effective cosmetic procedure when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner. The muscle-relaxing agent used in the procedure has been extensively tested and is FDA approved.

What can I expect during the treatment?

The procedure usually takes 15-30 minutes. A very fine needle is used to inject the muscle-relaxing agent into specific facial muscles. There is minimal discomfort associated with the injections, and most patients describe the sensation as similar to a pinprick.

The most common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. These side effects usually resolve within a few hours to a few days. In rare cases, the muscle-relaxing agent may migrate to other areas of the face, causing temporary drooping or weakness. For most, however, there’s little to no downtime. You only need to be wary of applying makeup, sun exposure, and strenuous exercise.

Your results should last between 3 and 6 months, after which time the procedure may be repeated to maintain the desired results.
