There may be more than a few treatments specifically designed to delay the effects of skin ageing and make the skin look younger and firmer, and everyone knows that there are myriad beauty and skin products that claim to make the skin more supple and smooth. But although these products and treatments may be effective, more often than not, it takes time for the effects to show. There is one treatment. However, that has gained its fair share of enthusiasts – and many people swear by the results of anti-wrinkle injections. If you’ve ever wondered why your friend or colleague appears to have younger-looking skin (without going through surgery), then anti-wrinkle injections may be just the treatment they went for – and so can you. But what exactly are they, and how effective is the treatment? Here’s what you should know about them before you get treated: anti-wrinkle injections explained.
What is it, and what does the treatment involve?
Anti-wrinkle injections can deal with the typical ageing signs, such as fine lines and wrinkles, by decreasing the appearance – and over-activity – of the muscles of the face that tend to pull and stretch the skin. Since the muscles do not move, the skin can smoothen out and appear fresher and younger.
The treatment can last up to six months and even prevent your fine lines and wrinkles from reappearing. When you get treated regularly, about two or three times annually, you can become more rejuvenated and confident about your appearance. The treatment also deals with conditions like teeth-grinding, migraines, and excessive sweating.
What areas can receive treatment?
When it comes to the areas that can receive treatment, the list is extensive indeed. The most commonly treated area is the lines between the forehead and other frown lines, which may have deepened over time. The relaxant in the injections makes the lines disappear and can prevent the formation of even deeper grooves that tend to become permanent if not treated.
Another commonly targeted area is the wrinkles surrounding the eyes, known as crow’s feet. When treating this area, your eyes can appear brighter and more well-rested. Anti-wrinkle injections are also given to the jawline, nasal wrinkles (also known as bunny wrinkles, which are lines around the nose’s bridge), and lines at the corners of the mouth, which may make the mouth look downturned or sad.
The treatment is also given to the vertical lines on the neck, which appear on both sides of the neck when you talk enthusiastically or strain yourself. It can also be given to those with a pebbly or upturned chin and those with hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating.
The benefits of the treatment
You may already be aware of some key benefits of getting anti-wrinkle injections – foremost of which is the fact that it is a non-invasive and fast treatment to get rid of wrinkles and lines. In addition, they say that getting treatment can also take years off your face, making you look younger and fresher, and the treatment offers much better results than creams or serums, which can easily take months before you see noticeable results. The results can also last for as many as six months, and the ingredients are natural and safe, given by qualified doctors.
