Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botox)
What are Anti Wrinkle Injections?
Anti-Wrinkle Injections are used for anti-ageing treatments. Botulinum toxin is administered as an injection, commonly used in the upper part of the face to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles around the eyes and forehead. Anti-Wrinkle Injections can also be used to reduce excessive sweating from the armpits. (Please see our Hyperhidrosis page).
How do Anti Wrinkle Injections injections work?
The collagen in our skin eventually wears away as we age due to overactive muscle movements. The reduction in collagen can cause the skin to crease and produce undesirable effects such as crows feet, frown lines and lines on the forehead, which can be very ageing. Anti-Wrinkle Injections works by relaxing these muscles which causes the skin to relax as well. Lines and wrinkles are smoothed out or disappear altogether. Its effects only the muscles it is administered to therefore there will be no effects on other parts of the body.
