Anti-wrinkle Treatments

Service Description

Botulinum toxin is a widely used cosmetic treatment for dynamic facial wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles, such as crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead lines, are caused by repetitive muscle movements over time. It works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles responsible for these movements, reducing their activity and smoothing out wrinkles. During the procedure, a small amount of the treatment is placed directly into specific facial muscles using fine needles. The toxin then blocks the nerve signals that cause the muscles to contract, allowing them to relax. This results in the temporary smoothing of the associated wrinkles. The effects of the treatment typically last for about three to four months. Over time, as the toxin wears off, muscle activity gradually returns to normal, and the wrinkles may reappear. However, with repeated treatments, the muscles may weaken, leading to long-term reduction in the appearance of these wrinkles. It is important to note that anti-wrinkle treatment is a prescription-only medication and should only be administered by a qualified healthcare professional. Potential side effects are usually mild and temporary, including temporary bruising, swelling, or redness at the treatment site.
