Anti-ageing Treatments

Anti Wrinkle Injections

Ageing is a process that occurs in all organs but is most visible in the skin one of the ways that ageing takes its toll is the expression of lines on the face, loss of fat, loss of bone structure and sun damage. The lines created by the ageing process can be treated with anti-wrinkle injections and further lines can be prevented from forming.

How are wrinkle lines created?

Dynamic lines are lines that are caused by facial expressions like frowning, smiling or squinting. Repetitive movements lead to wrinkles such as Crow's feet, Frown Lines and lipstick lines. As we get older, and our skin loses its elasticity these dynamic lines become more permanent and visible.

How do anti-wrinkle injections work?

Anti-wrinkle injections work by temporarily paralysing the muscles on the face, when injected this prevents skin above from creasing up and causing wrinkles. This works for expression lines such as frown lines by smoothing them and preventing them from becoming more prominent.
