Wrinkle reducing injections are a cosmetic aesthetic medicine which has become very popular in recent years. It is now regularly used by both women and men.

Wrinkle reducing injections work by temporarily relaxing specific muscles which can be targeted with a very fine needle. These muscles are paralyzed- effectively stopping their movement- avoiding any future creasing in the skin and the development of wrinkles overtime.

The results are very natural and Wrinkle reducing injections have a minimal effect on other parts of the face making it an ideal choice for those who want to keep full expression and movement in the face (such as actors and models).

Wrinkle reducing injections are most commonly used on those ‘dynamic wrinkles’ which can arise as a result of repeated muscle movement. Normally these wrinkles appear on the upper face in areas such as the forehead and eyes where they form as a result of frowning and squinting.

Wrinkle reducing injections are also effective around the mouth where smoking and smiling can create wrinkles and lines over time.

Often people wait until wrinkles have appeared before they choose to treat them, however it is also possible to use wrinkle reducing injections to prevent the development of wrinkles in the first place.
