Wrinkle Reduction

Factsheet

ABOUT THE TREATMENT

Wrinkle reduction injections are simple, nonsurgical and medically administered treatments that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe lines and wrinkles.

The treatment is made from a complex protein that is produced by the Clostridium Botulinum bacterium and it is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It has also been safely used for the past twenty years to treat conditions such as, eye spasms and central nervous disorders.
As a cosmetic procedure this treatment has been used safely and effectively for the past ten years. It can also be combined with dermal fillers to further improve the appearance of the skin.

THE WRINKLE REDUCTION TREATMENT

The injections are delivered where desired most. The goal is to weaken and relax, not to paralyze, the muscles that cause the wrinkles to appear, resulting in a natural, soft look.

A fine-gauge needle is used and the number of injections required varies depending upon what part of the face is being treated. To treat the fine lines and wrinkles surrounding the eye, commonly referred to as the crows feet, up to three injections are administered. To treat forehead lines, a few more tiny injections may be required. The results are very dramatic and the appearance of lines is remarkably reduced, especially when smiling.

Other areas of the face such as the laugh lines, the folds in the area between the nose and lip, unwanted horizontal lines on the neck and chin creases have also been treated. These areas however, are treated less frequently. It is not uncommon to experience some bruising around the injection site. Ice packs can be applied before and after treatment to help minimise this problem.

This amazing treatment can reduce or eliminate wrinkles without surgery. It is a unique treatment that produces dramatic results, has few side effects and is reversible. It can provide the solution for a more youthful appearance with minimal recovery time.
