Certain facial movements can cause facial wrinkles or folds to form, which may progressively deepen over time. Forehead wrinkles, fine lines, smile lines, crow’s feet and bunny lines can occur as result of facial expressions and other actions that cause the underlying tissues to form grooves in which the overlying skin will eventually settle. Wrinkle relaxing injections will temporarily paralyse the muscles beneath the treated area, to help soften the appearance of wrinkles.
Anti-wrinkle injections at The REAL Clinic contain a formulation of botulinum toxin type A; an FDA-approved substance that has been clinically proven to help improve many medical and cosmetic problems. An effective anti-aging solution, this treatment is frequently requested by patients seeking to reverse the signs of ageing and is performed only by professional injectors. Please note that Botulinum Toxin is a prescription only medication and should therefore only ever be obtained by a doctor, dentist or nurse prescriber.
Treatment is by administering the correct amount of toxin through a series of small injections into the muscles of the affected area. This helps block the signals that the nerves send to the muscles to tell them to move. This relaxation results in gentler muscle movements to smooth out wrinkles in that area.
A more youthful appearance can be restored to the face and neck without sacrificing everyday facial expression.
In addition to helping to reverse the signs of ageing, botulinum toxin (also known by many as the popular brand BOTOX) can provide positive results for those affected by conditions such as: profuse sweating, chronic headaches and migraines, jaw. teeth grinding, teeth grinding, and jawline.
