What Are Anti Wrinkle Injections?

Anti Wrinkle, known as Botulinum toxin is a prescription only medication, administered into the facial and neck muscles to prevent the muscles contracting, smoothing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Botulinum toxin also treats excessive sweating, hyperactive masseter muscle, overactive lip muscles (gummy smile) and alleviating the symptoms of migraines.

What Are The Treatment Areas?

Forehead & Frown Lines to minimise the effect of lines and wrinkles by treating the glabella complex and frontalis muscles.

Crows Feet to minimise the effect of lines and wrinkles in the eye area by treating the orbicularis muscle.

Bunny Lines to relax an overactive nasalis muscle to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles on either side of the nose.

Chin to target the mentalist muscle, to smooth the appearance of dimples.

Gummy smile to relax an overactive levator labii superios muscle either side of the nostril, to reduce the appearance of gum tissue when smiling.

Under eye involve superficial injections to reduce fine lines under the eyes.

Masseter Muscle to relax and limit the movement of the chewing muscle. This helps to cure teeth grinding and can also reshape the face for a slimmer profile.

Under arm treated with botulinum toxin can be highly effective to help treat excessive sweating.
