Anti-wrinkle injections are composed of a natural, purified protein. When injected into specific facial muscles, the muscles causing wrinkles are relaxed, reducing dynamic lines and creating a younger, softer, and more natural-looking appearance. Anti-wrinkle injections inhibit the transmission of neurotransmitters from the nerve to the muscle and stop the muscle from contracting and forming wrinkles. They also stop the constant compression of your skin, preventing the permanent “etching” of wrinkles in the areas treated.

Below are the main reasons for using anti-wrinkle injections:

To reduce frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. To improve puckering lines above and below the lips.To minimize the “bunny smile lines” at the top of the nose. To reduce a “gummy smile”.To lift sagging skin at the side of the mouth. To improve chin creases and dimpling. To lift and tighten a sagging neck (Platysmal muscle).To slim the lower face (Masseter muscles).

After the consultation process and once your needs and expectations have been determined, an ice pack is applied to the treatment area to help to reduce the risk of bruising, also numbing your skin to some extent. The area to be treated is cleaned with an alcohol wipe and the actual anti-wrinkle injection procedure involves a small amount of the product being administered into the selected facial muscles using a very fine needle.

Normally, the appointment time for anti-wrinkle injections is 20 minutes. This involves consultation and evaluation of your needs, and the actual procedure only takes 2-5 minutes, depending on the amount of anti-wrinkle injections required and the areas being treated.

The anti-wrinkle injections may sting for a few seconds, but no anesthetic is required. You will be given an ice pack before your procedure to reduce the discomfort. There may be some swelling and redness at the site of the injections, which tends to resolve within a few minutes and you can resume normal activities afterward. It is recommended that you do not rub the injected area harshly, and avoid strenuous exercises for 48 hrs post-procedure.

After your anti-wrinkle injections have been completed, it takes 5 to 7 days for the treatment to begin taking effect, and up to 14 days to see the full results.

Anti-wrinkle injections can last for up to 16 weeks, so for optimal, long term results we recommend that you repeat the procedure no later than every 4 months.

At My Cosmetic Clinic, our anti-wrinkle injection treatments commence from $169.00 for 50 units, which in most cases is sufficient to treat 1 major area. Please add $49 per each minor area thereafter.
