Many people think they’ll walk into a cosmetic injectables clinic and walk out with duck lips. In the case of Anti-Wrinkle Treatment, this is absolutely not the case. If you’d like to learn the science behind Anti-Wrinkle cosmetic injectables, we’ll try and explain this as simply as we can.
Targeting dynamic lines (lines that form only when you move), such as forehead wrinkles, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crows feet around the eyes, these injectables work by relaxing the muscles responsible for repetitive facial movements. They can also help with preventing jaw clenching, excessive sweating and much more, such as gummy smiles (these are smiles that show a lot of gum above the top row of teeth) by relaxing the muscle above the top lip.
Containing a purified form of botulinum toxin, the injectables inhibit nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting excessively. This temporary relaxation not only softens existing lines but also acts preventatively, discouraging the formation of static lines over time.
Static lines are wrinkles on your face that still appear despite no facial movement. Static lines are usually effectively treated with dermal filler, a clinically appropriate cosmeceutical skincare routine, and possibly a treatment plan consisting of LED Light Therapy and IPL Skin Rejuvenation Treatments.
This is why you will often hear Anti-Wrinkle Treatment aids in prevention – it aids in the prevention of static lines. Treatment every 3 to 4 months is recommended and results are typically seen by 2 weeks post-treatment.
Prior to making a decision about any cosmetic procedure, it is recommended to seek guidance from a qualified professional, where they can evaluate your specific needs and offer personalised recommendations.

Forehead Lines
Forehead lines form due to the repeated contraction of muscles when raising your eyebrows. These wrinkles form permanent horizontal creases over time.
Frown Lines
Frown lines, also known as glabella wrinkles, are created by repeated muscle movement when making facial expressions. They become permanent after a while when the muscles constantly contract without being stretched out again.
Brow Lift
Do your eyebrows seem uneven or asymmetrical at times? Muscle relaxing anti-wrinkle injections may be able to correct this issue by improving facial symmetry while also providing a brow lift.
Bunny Lines
Bunny lines appear due to the constant scrunching of the nose muscle. These wrinkles form horizontal lines across the ridge of the nose, which can make you look older than you are or give off a more tired appearance.
Crow’s Feet
Crow’s feet, the term used to describe the wrinkles or fine lines outside your eyes, are also called smile lines or character lines. They are said to be caused by the various facial expressions people make and grow more pronounced with age.
Vertical Lip Lines
Vertical lip lines are the defined lines that appear around the lips especially visible due to the constant movement of the mouth. As you age, these become more prominent; it also shows you’ve been talking or smiling a lot.
Jaw Re-Shaping
The lower face muscle known as the masseter or muscle of the jaw is the area treated when undergoing a facial re-shaping procedure. Your jaw muscle controls how much you can open and close your mouth; it also helps move food from one side of the mouth to another as you chew. This facial muscle can become overactive due to constant use during chewing or clenching teeth for long periods at a time, which many people do with stress. The result? A more square-shaped jaw that may look appealing for men but not for women. Ladies seeking softer, more feminine features might consider the use of anti-wrinkle treatments to make the jaw appear rounder and alleviate the effects of constant teeth grinding.
Chin
As we get older, the muscles on our chin start pulling up at different angles leaving behind an arched line between the bottom lip and chin. Thankfully, anti-wrinkle injections can help relax these muscles and soften the stubborn line, allowing them to become less noticeable.
