Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Anti-wrinkle injections containing botulinum toxin, are a medical treatment used primarily for aesthetic purposes and certain medical conditions. It involves injecting a purified form of the toxin into specific muscles to temporarily paralyze or weaken them. The treatment is commonly used in aesthetics to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines by inhibiting muscle contractions, leading to a smoother and more youthful appearance.
​
As we age, the emergence of fine lines and wrinkles becomes apparent on various areas of our face, neck, and body. They result from a multitude of factors, encompassing genes, gender, skin type, sun exposure , lifestyle choices such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, dietary habits, inadequate skincare practices, the natural aging trajectory, and numerous other contributors.
​
It's important to acknowledge that this approach may not be for everyone. Alternative options, such as medical grade skincare, different skin treatments and soft tissue fillers, provide diverse ways to address aesthetic concerns. Sometimes, combining these methods is suggested for the best results.
​
Therefore a comprehensive medical consultation and assessment is essential to assess suitability.
