What are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?
Expression lines, worry lines, crows feet and smile lines – whatever you call them, wrinkles can be an unsightly by-product of getting older. Anti-wrinkle injections are a popular way to reduce their appearance, and are a much less invasive procedure than a facelift.
The injectable product is a naturally occurring toxin that when injected into the skin reduces the appearance of wrinkles and facial lines by relaxing the muscles that cause them. Anti-wrinkle injections can also help with other complaints like excessive sweating, jaw clenching, teeth grinding and tension headaches.
How does it work?
Anti-wrinkle injections work by relaxing the muscles that, when contracted, cause wrinkles and lines to appear. When injected, the nerve impulse that stimulates muscle contraction is blocked, so lines no longer appear. Sweating can be reduced in a similar way – injecting the affected area effectively blocks the nerve impulse that stimulates sweat glands.
