Anti wrinkle
Anti-wrinkle treatments, often referred to as botox or anti-wrinkle injections, are cosmetic procedures that help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. They work by blocking nerve signals from the muscles, preventing them from contracting and creating wrinkles. These treatments are commonly used to address areas like frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet.
How it works?
- Boost Collagen – Ingredients like retinol and peptides increase collagen to firm skin and reduce wrinkles.
- Hydrate Skin – Hyaluronic acid and moisturizers plump the skin, making fine lines less visible.
- Exfoliate – AHAs/BHAs remove dead skin, improving texture and allowing better absorption of ingredients.
- Protect – Sunscreens and antioxidants prevent damage from UV rays and pollution, slowing aging.
- Relax Muscles (in treatments like Botox) – Temporarily reduce muscle movement to smooth out expression lines.
Common areas treated
Forehead Lines
- Horizontal lines caused by raising the eyebrows.
Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines)
- Vertical lines between the eyebrows, also called “11 lines.”
Crow’s Feet
- Fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes from squinting or smiling.
BUNNY LINES
- Fine lines or wrinkles that appear on the sides of the nose when you scrunch it.
GUMMY SMILE
- A gummy smile is when excessive gum tissue (more than 2–3 mm) is visible above the upper teeth when smiling.
CHIN DIMPLES / PEBBLED CHIN
- The chin dimples are caused by overactivity of the mentalis muscle, which is located in the central chin.
NECK / PLATYSMA BANDS
- Vertical bands or cords that appear on the neck.
Benefits
Anti-wrinkle treatments offer several key benefits. They help reduce the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles, making the skin look smoother and younger. They also hydrate the skin, enhance texture and tone, and can prevent new wrinkles from forming with consistent use.
Side effects
Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection site, as well as tiny red dots, are possible side effects.
