Anti-wrinkle Treatments

What are Anti-wrinkle Treatments?

Anti-wrinkle Treatments are mostly used for the cosmetic treatment of facial lines. In this case, anti-wrinkle treatments (of a purified form of protein toxin) work by stopping the transmission of nerve impulses to the facial muscles that contract and cause wrinkles, such as frown-lines between the eyebrows and crow’s feet around the eyes.

Is it right for me?

Always talk to your aesthetic plastic surgeon before deciding whether anti-wrinkle treatments are right for you. This procedure may be a good option if you are concerned about the appearance of facial wrinkles. Remember, anti-wrinkle treatments won’t help deep creases or those that are prominent when your face is relaxed. Other treatments such as fillers, laser skin treatments or surgery may be required. Your surgeon will make a thorough assessment of your needs and will discuss what is most suitable for you.

Possible complications

All medical procedures come with some degree of risk. Fortunately, complications from anti-wrinkle treatments are usually uncommon. However, it is possible to weaken the wrong muscles through a mal-administered injection, which can cause undesirable changes in your facial shape. This is why it is important to have a reputable practitioner perform this procedure. Don’t worry, your surgeon will fully explain possible complications during your consultation and will commit to supporting you during recovery.

SURGERY & RECOVERY

During surgery

Anti-wrinkle treatments are usually performed in your surgeon’s office. Anaesthetic isn’t normally required and you should be able to immediately return to your normal activities. Your surgeon will fully explain all these details during your consultation.

Recovery

One of the most important reasons for choosing a reputable surgeon is that they will be by your side throughout the recovery process, ready to reassure and support you at every stage. Ask your surgeon what recovery will involve for you.
