When to Start Treatment
Most patients wanting to have antiwrinkle injections generally start around the age of 30. While research has not proven this, it is thought that having antiwrinkle injections from your mid-twenties can actually prevent wrinkles.
Antiwrinkle injections are used to relax the facial muscles and block the signals from the nerves to the muscles. It stops the injected muscle from moving, which causes the wrinkles to relax and soften.
If you have too many antiwrinkle injections over a prolonged period of time, it is said that the muscles can weaken from lack of use.
Antiwrinkle Injection Procedure
We all get wrinkles, they are an unavoidable side effect of getting older. But you can lessen the impact with the help of cosmetic injectables.
Common areas for wrinkles include the nasolabial folds, lips and corners of the mouth as well as around the eyes (crow’s feet), between the eyebrows and the forehead.
Treatment usually involves a number of small injections in the preferred area with the process usually completed in a few minutes.
Antiwrinkle injections can last from 4-6 months with the initial effects gradually increasing over the first 1-2 weeks following treatment.
In most cases patients will wait to see movement or signs of wrinkles in their facial areas before returning to have another treatment – unless you want the frozen look, then you can choose to have the procedure more frequently.
