Wrinkle Improvement Injections

If you’re looking to improve the appearance of your skin, we at Glamaholic can help.
Over time, wrinkles and fine lines form as part of the natural aging process. Exposure to the sun, pollutants and smoking can speed up this process, yet they’re also caused by your body naturally becoming drier and less elasticated, with less collagen and fat stored in the skin’s deeper layers.
If you’re bothered by your wrinkles, anti-wrinkle injections can help to reduce their appearance. This method has been around for decades, and is a popular, safe and effective way to feel more comfortable in your skin as you age.
How do wrinkle improvement injections work?
These injections work by using a naturally occurring protein to block signals from the nerves to the muscles. This then relaxes the muscles by preventing them from contracting, allowing the wrinkles to soften and reduce over time.
What can wrinkle improvement injections correct?
Anti-wrinkle injections can be used on any wrinkles that are caused by muscle movement. Also referred to as “dynamic wrinkles” or “expression lines”, these are usually those that occur in the face, such as:
- Bunny lines – lines around your nose
- Crow’s feet – wrinkles around your eyes
- Frown lines – those that appear on your forehead and around your eyebrows
- Top lip lines – lines that accumulate around your top lip (most obvious when they are pursed)
- Smile lines – also known as nasolabial folds or “laugh lines”, these gather from either side of the nose down to the mouth
Are wrinkle improvement injections painful?
This procedure is quick, minimally invasive and virtually painless. The injections are administered through a very fine needle, and the entire process is completed within just a few minutes, allowing you to continue with your daily activities as normal.
Are there any side effects to wrinkle improvement injections?
This procedure, when carried out by a qualified professional, is perfectly safe. There is, however, always the risk of side effects, most of which are common and typically last no longer than a day or two.
Swelling and redness around the area is sometimes experienced, and should resolve itself within a few hours, depending on how sensitive your skin is. Bruising can also happen around the affected area, but this, too, is typically short lasting.
There is usually no downtime required following wrinkle improvement injections, so you may resume your daily activities as normal.
How long do the results of wrinkle improvement injections last?
The effects of wrinkle improvement injections can last anywhere up to six months, and will vary from person to person. This can depend on a number of factors, including the area where the treatment was administered and a person’s lifestyle choices.
To help keep wrinkles and fine lines at bay, it’s recommended to schedule regular follow-up appointments with the salon. In the interval periods between injections, it’s a good idea to stay hydrated, avoid excessive sun exposure and use a high-quality moisturiser.
