What is anti-wrinkle treatment?
Anti-wrinkle treatment is a cosmetic procedure that involves the injection of Botulinum toxin (Botox) into specific facial muscles to achieve a more youthful appearance. Botox is commonly used to treat forehead lines, crows feet around the eyes, and frown lines between the eyebrows.
-
How does anti-wrinkle treatment work?
It works by temporarily paralysing the muscles that cause wrinkles. The active ingredient, Botulinum toxin type A, is injected into specific facial muscles. This toxin blocks the nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions, resulting in smoother skin.
-
Can anyone have anti-wrinkle treatment?
Generally, adults in good health who wish to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are potential candidates. However, pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with certain neurological conditions, or those allergic to any ingredients in Botox should avoid the treatment. A thorough consultation with our clinician beforehand is essential to determine if Botox is appropriate for you.
-
How long is an anti-wrinkle treatment?
It usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete.
-
When will I see the results of my anti-wrinkle treatment?
After receiving an anti-wrinkle treatment, you can expect to see the initial results within 3 to 4 days. However, the full effects usually become more noticeable around 10 to 14 days post-treatment.
-
How long will the results of Botox last?
The results of anti-wrinkle treatments usually last between 3 to 4 months. This duration can vary depending on factors such as the individual’s metabolism, the area treated, and the dosage used. Over time, as the effects of the Botox gradually wear off, muscle action will return, and wrinkles may begin to reappear. Regular maintenance treatments are often recommended to sustain a smooth and youthful appearance.
-
How painful are anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections are generally considered not to be painful. Most patients describe the sensation as a slight pinprick or a minor sting. Discomfort is usually brief and localised. To minimise pain, our practitioner may use a numbing cream prior to the injections.

Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
Anti-wrinkle treatment is very efficient at reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows. It involves injecting botulinum toxin into targeted muscles, resulting in a temporary relaxation of muscle activity and a younger looking appearance for you.
Reduce fine lines & wrinkles
Turn back the clock on your facial appearance
The Botulinum toxin (Botox) that gets injected blocks nerve signals to the targeted muscles to stop them from contracting. This action removes the facial line caused by the muscle activity. The same treatment can also be used for some medical conditions; migraines, hyperhidrosis and muscle spasms. So whether you’re looking for relief from one of these conditions, or you want an effective rejuvenation, anti-wrinkle treatment is an effective solution.
