Anti-wrinkle injections use a purified form of Botulinum Toxin A (commonly known as Botox®) to temporarily relax the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. By blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, the treatment reduces their ability to contract, softening the appearance of lines and preventing new ones from forming.
This treatment is most commonly used to address:
- Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
- Bunny lines (sides of the nose)
- Lip lines (also called smoker’s lines)
- Pebbled chin or mental crease
- Downturned mouth corners
- Jawline slimming and teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Gummy smile
- Neck bands (platysmal bands)
Anti-wrinkle injections are typically used in the upper third of the face but may also be applied to other areas for functional or aesthetic concerns. They can be used both to treat existing wrinkles and as a preventative measure to maintain smoother skin over time.
