ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS
Botulinum Toxin is considered an effective procedure for the reduction of facial wrinkles, especially in the uppermost third of the face. Injection of Botulinum Toxin into the muscles under facial wrinkles causes relaxation of those muscles, resulting in the smoothing of the overlying skin.

Botulinum Toxin is currently offered to treat horizontal forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines with other areas to be available in the future.

How long do the effects of anti-wrinkle injections last?
The effects from anti-wrinkle injections depend on person to person, but generally last three to six months. As muscle action gradually returns, the lines and wrinkles begin to reappear and need to be treated again. The lines and wrinkles often appear less severe with time because the muscles are shrinking.
How long does it take for the effects?
When injected appropriately, the results will be seen after the first treatment. Anti-wrinkle injections takes two to four days before the muscle weakening effect takes place. The maximum effect occurs at about 10 to 14 days.
