Anti-wrinkle Injections and Fillers
Anti-wrinkle injections use Botulinum Toxin Type A, a neurotoxin, which blocks nerve activity in the muscle it is injected in to. As a result, there is a temporary reduction in muscle movement. After that, the ‘block’ breaks down and the nerve activity returns gradually to the muscle, resulting in movement.
How is it used?
This chemical is used in the medical setting to help provide relief for children and adults who suffer from muscle disorders, spasticity and also migraines.
Used in smaller doses for cosmetic purposes, anti-wrinkle injections (Botulium Toxin Type A) can be injected in to the facial muscles. Consequently, these injections reduce lines and wrinkles caused by regular/constant movement resulting in a more youthful and rested appearance.
What can it do?
In short, just a few simple anti-wrinkle injections can reduce the appearance of:
- Forehead lines
