Anti-wrinkle injections are a popular treatment choice and do work for reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Here's how they work and what you can expect:

How Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work:

• Muscle Relaxation: Treatment works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles where it is injected. This prevents the muscles from contracting, which helps to soften and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines caused by repetitive facial movements (like frowning or squinting).

• Common Treatment Areas: The most common areas treated include the forehead lines, crow's feet (around the eyes), and frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines).

  
  

Effectiveness:

• Results: The effects of anti-wrinkle injections are usually visible within a few days to a week after the injection. The skin in the treated areas appears smoother and the wrinkles are reduced.

• Duration: The effects typically lasts for 3 months, after which the muscle activity gradually returns, and wrinkles may reappear. Regular treatments are needed to maintain the results.

Considerations:

• Qualified Practitioner: It's important to have anti-wrinkle injections administered by a qualified and experienced medical professional to minimise risks and ensure the desired outcome.

• Side Effects: Common side effects are generally mild and include bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. More serious side effects are rare but can occur if the treatment is not performed properly.

Conclusion:

Anti-wrinkle injections are a well-established, non-surgical treatment that is effective for temporarily reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, it’s essential to consult with a professional to determine if it’s the right choice for you and to understand the potential risks and benefits.
