Anti-Wrinkle Treatments
Providing a natural-looking visible reduction in lines and wrinkles, leaving you with a softer and brighter appearance. By relaxing the muscle, anti-wrinkle treatments reduce the appearance of wrinkles and can prevent future lines from forming or deepening.
The Procedure
Wrinkles often appear on our forehead and around our eyes when we smile or frown. These lines appear because our muscles contract to form different facial expressions. Over time, these expression lines begin to linger a little longer or become a little deeper, even when the face is at rest.
Anti-wrinkle treatments work by relaxing facial muscles that cause wrinkles and lines when you smile or frown. The treatment relaxes only the muscles beneath the lines where the product has been inserted, and the muscles responsible for other aspects of your facial expression stay active. If you have no further treatments, the muscles return to normal and lines gradually go back to how they looked before treatment.
Targeted areas include upper face, forehead lines, frowning, crows feet, bunny lines, smile lines, gummy smiles, dimpled chin, masseter (grinding), jawline and neck, excessive armpit sweating, brow lift, cheek lines, downturned mouth (DAO), eye wrinkles, lip lines, nose tip lifting, trapezius slimming, and bruxism.
