Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Frown lines are deep lines, which form between the eyebrows as a result of the two muscle groups regularly contracting and relaxing when frowning. Frown lines are often just two lines between the brows, however, if left untreated for long enough a more permanent third line can appear, which is known as the ‘11’s’ line. 

Forehead lines can be present across the width of the forehead as you lift the brows. If you are particularly expressionate when speaking you may find that these lines become more prominent and permanent more quickly. 

 Crow’s feet are the lines around your eyes that you may find yourself being more drawn to in a lovely smiley photo – the one thing you don’t want to notice first in your favourite family photo.

Crow’s feet, like most fine lines and wrinkles can be ageing. Make-up tends to crease around the eye area accentuating the lines and making your eyes appear smaller, and more tired.

 Bunny lines are small wrinkles across the bridge of the nose, which are often most visible when laughing.

Treated with anti-wrinkle injections, bunny lines can be easily smoothed with two small injections to prevent the lines forming deeper and becoming more permanent.

 The ‘lip flip’ – performed by injecting anti-wrinkle treatment just above the top lip to create the illusion of a fuller lip. 

It can also be injected into the muscles that pull down the corners of the mouth, which can help lift and smooth them out. 

The vertical lines that run from the lip up to the nose can also be treated in this way.

The mentalis muscle becomes more rigid around the chin as part of the natural ageing process. This can sometimes result in the chin appearing more pointed and prominent, which can cause the facial features to appear slightly unbalanced.

Anti-wrinkle injections can also treat a ‘dimpled’ chin. If you notice the chin looking dimpled when speaking or with some facial expressions, anti-wrinkle injections can help to relax the muscle and smooth the chin to prevent dimpling.

Teeth grinding, jaw clenching and tension headaches believe it or not can all be related. All of these symptoms can be massively reduced and treated effectively with anti-wrinkle injections.

Teeth grinding and regular jaw clenching can result in over-working the masseter muscle, which can become significantly enlarged and make the jaw appear square and over-prominent. Sometimes this can make the jaw look unbalanced and larger on one side of the face. As well as the muscle becoming enlarged, regular clenching can also build tension and cause headaches.

There are several benefits to treating the masseter muscle with anti-wrinkle injectables, including a reduction in the jaw muscle, to reduce teeth grinding and jaw clenching and prevent tension headaches. This can also give the jaw a slimmer appearance. 

When considering anti-ageing treatments, people can often easily overlook the neck area, which is an area that can reveal tell-tale signs of ageing.

Platysmal bands are muscles which are long, narrow and string-like, which can protrude from either side of the base of the neck when being expressionate during speech. Anti-wrinkle treatment can soften these muscles as an extremely effective anti-ageing treatment revealing a rejuvenated, more youthful appearance.
