Know About the Anti-wrinkle Injectable

Anti-wrinkle injections have long been a popular treatment applied by cosmetic surgeons. It’s a non-permanent, non-surgical procedure that fills in wrinkles resulting in a younger looking face. In fact, it remains the most popular minimally invasive procedure.  

What are the benefits of anti-wrinkle injections? 

There are several factors contributing toward the youthful properties created by an anti wrinkle injectable, and other benefits as well. These include: 

• Elimination of the thick ‘age lines’ on the forehead. 

• Softening crow’s feet as a result of age or lifestyle factors. 

• Slimming of the jawline. 

• Removal of the ‘frown lines’ that appear between the eyebrows when making some expressions. 

• Reduction of sweating in the armpits by up to 87% when applied there.  

How do anti-wrinkle injections work? 

Anti-wrinkle injections work by introducing chemicals, principally Botox, in specific areas of the face with the use of micro needles.  

This causes the muscles to relax, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and stopping lines from appearing when you make certain expressions.  

When you frown, squint or concentrate, you are working the muscles in your face, which causes furrowing in the layers of skin. 

How often will I need injections? 

Unlike plastic surgery, which is often permanent, anti-wrinkle injections need to be reapplied every three to five months.  

While this may seem inconvenient, consider that the treatment has minimal risks compared to other procedures, and takes very little time – around ten minutes - to apply. 

It also ensures that on the slim chance you are unhappy with the results, you can simply choose not to have another appointment. 

Most procedures will seek to create a natural look in your face. As such, it’s unlikely your face will appear frozen or unnatural – unless you’re seeking a more intensive treatment. 

Does the procedure hurt? 

Unlike some procedures, which are conducted under anaesthetic, anti-wrinkle injections are minimally invasive and anaesthetic is not required.  

You will likely feel a quick pinch when the treatment is applied to each area of the face, and you’ll be able to choose where you want it applied so you can specifically target areas you are unhappy with. 

If you are concerned about discomfort, you can ask your clinician to apply a cream or an ice pack to numb the skin. 

When will I see the results? 

You’ll likely see results within two to five days on the areas of the face with more severe lines, but the total effect of the treatment will manifest in around 2 weeks. 

Why should I not have anti-wrinkle injections? 

While anti-wrinkle injections are a relatively safe procedure, but you should not have them if you are dealing with any of the circumstances below: 

• You are pregnant or breastfeeding. 

• You are trying to conceive. 

• You have a neuromuscular condition. 

• You have a skin infection. 

• You’re taking certain medicines. 

• You’re generally feeling unwell on the day of the procedure.  

That’s all you need to know about the anti-wrinkle injectable: it’s a relatively safe, fast, and minimally invasive procedure that results in a more youthful appearance and fuller skin.  It’s also generally affordable compared to other treatments – and its popularity is clearly a culmination of all these factors.
