Anti-Wrinkle Injection
STILL YOU. WITH FEWER LINES.
Anti-Wrinkle Injection is an injectable medicine made from botulinum toxin. Anti-Wrinkle Injection works by relaxing the muscles, therefore, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles – as well as early aging prevention.
In Rejuvie Clinic, as an Anti-Wrinkle Injection is also used for facial lifting, facial contour, skin rejuvenation, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), migraine and other indications.
MODERATE TO SEVERE FROWN LINES
When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. Your specialist will inject these muscles to help make frown lines temporarily look better.
MODERATE TO SEVERE CROW’S FEET
When you squint or smile, the muscles around your eyes contract, causing crow’s feet. Your specialist will inject these muscles to help make crow’s feet temporarily look better.
MODERATE TO SEVERE FOREHEAD LINES
When you raise your eyebrows, the muscles on your forehead contract, causing skin to furrow and fold. Your specialist will inject these muscles to help make forehead lines temporarily look better.
How Anti-Wrinkle Injection Works
A combination of factors can cause facial lines. It’s not just about the cellular changes that may occur, or reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment.
Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines. Anti-Wrinkle Injection works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults – to help them look better.
The average amount of Anti-Wrinkle Injection used in each area is as follows and should be used as a guide only:
- Crows feet: 12 – 24 units (both eyes)
- Forehead: 10 – 20 units
- Angry line: 14 – 20 units
Repeat Treatments
The Botox will take approximately 3 days to start working. It takes approximately 14 days for you to notice the full effects of the Botox. On average the Botox will last 3 to 5 months and you will need to repeat the treatment as needed to keep the desired effect. In general the Botox will last longer if the treatment is maintained on a regular basis.
