Anti-Wrinkle Injections
What does Anti-Wrinkle Injections involve?
The Anti-Wrinkle Injection is getting popular, with its ability to correct a wide range of aesthetic concerns, including wrinkles crow’s feet, wrinkles and lines around eyes and forehead.
An injection of Type-A Botulinum relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles and restore a youthful look. At the early stage, Botulinum was used clinically to treat facial spasms and partial muscular dystrophy. Later it was discovered that it can be used to effectively alleviate wrinkles and lines that are related to muscle activities. Botox® developed by Allergan can also be used to treat excessive sweating, chin dimpling and even to improve migraines. When we age, the expressive facial muscles’ movement can develop wrinkles and fine lines as the repeated muscle movement and the loss of collagen and elastin in the skin.

How Does Anti-Wrinkle Injection Work?
Anti-Wrinkle injection can eliminate lines and wrinkles by injecting Botox®, which Botulinum Toxin can temporarily relax active muscle underlying the skin, which causes the surface skin to smooth out the lines and wrinkles visibly. The substance of Anti-Wrinkle injections can temporarily stop the transmission of the signals of the muscles, therefore active muscles became relaxed and inactive so the active wrinkles will be removed.
