Anti-wrinkle injections are providing a solution for light to medium depth facial lines.

Botulinum Toxin is injected in your skin to relax the muscles that cause your skin to wrinkle.   

This is a very effective treatment for crows’ feet, expression lines and many other.  The natural issues that arise as we age that we would be happy to get rid of and where we would need to relax those muscles. 

These injections are available through prescription only and should be administered by a health professional.  

The effect of anti-wrinkle injections  like botulinum toxin, usually last anywhere from 3-6 months, dependent on the person and the area being treated.   

Anti-wrinkle injections are highly effective for both men and women in the prevention of the following:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Forehead creases
  • Crow’s feet
  • Smoker lines
  • Bunny lines

The injections are delivered where desired most. The goal is to weaken and relax – not paralyse – the muscles that cause wrinkles to appear, resulting in a natural soft look.

A fine-gauge needle is used and the number of anti-wrinkle injections required varies depending upon what part of the face is being treated. 

Please note, that anti-wrinkle injection is a prescription only medicine. 

Anti-wrinkle injections are considered to be very safe amongst those who are in good general health.  Side effect are minimal and usually associated with the injection site only.

These side effects are temporary and usually, subside within a few hours to a couple of days after treatment. They should not be administered to pregnant women or to those who have certain neurological illnesses.
