What is injectable wrinkle reduction treatment?

Injectable wrinkle reduction is a way to reduce the fine lines effect due to persistent muscle action on our skin.  Wrinkles and creases are typically caused by the contraction of muscles in the affected areas. The injectable wrinkle reduction contains the recommended dilution of wrinkle reducing product, which temporarily stops the muscles from contracting and assists in enabling smoother skin. Injectable wrinkle reduction is performed with an ultra-thin needle, and a numbing agent can be applied to the target areas to make you feel as comfortable as possible.  Some patients may also use this treatment to prevent the occurrence of these fine lines. The original use of the injectable was for medical reasons.  It was then noticed that the injectable also helped stop muscle spasms and reduce wrinkles.

Who is a candidate?

Injectable wrinkle reduction can decrease subtle facial lines that appear when they frown, smile or squint, or it can be used to smooth out more prominent lines and wrinkles along the face. These can include crow’s feet, smile lines, creases along the forehead, and wrinkles in other facial areas.

Our Doctor and Nurse Aestheticians will be happy to meet with you and discuss all aspects of injectable wrinkle reduction. There are a variety of options available, and they can help you determine which treatment will be best for your needs.

What can you expect after the treatment?

After injectable wrinkle reduction treatment, you can expect results between 3-14 days. While there may be some mild bruising or redness at the injection sites, this should fade within the next few days. The effects of injectable wrinkle reduction can last three months or more, and you can keep the results going with follow-up treatments.

In addition to these injectable wrinkle reduction treatments, our practice offers a full range of other cosmetic injectables that can fill areas such as the lips and other areas of the face.
