Anti Wrinkle injections

When anti wrinkle injections are administered in micro amounts into the contracting muscles of the face, it acts on the neuromuscular junction to block the chemical signal released from the nerves to the muscles. Therefore, they can instigate a desirable, temporary, “muscle relaxing” effect, that can:

• Diminish the appearance of existing dynamic wrinkles and prevent the formation of new skin creases for the long term.
• Lift the eyebrows.
• Smoothen peri-oral lines (around the lips) caused by movements like speaking, chewing, pouting, etc. and crow’s feet (lines at eye corners).
• Decrease the large square jaws caused by hyperactive masseter muscles that are involved in jaw movement.
• Soften new fine lines and bands.
• Control grinding of teeth in sleep (bruxism).
• Reduce hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) in palms, armpits, and soles.
• Get rid of exaggerated facial expressions such as gummy smiles, bunny lines (top of nose), and dimpled chin.
• Remove static lines such as glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows) and forehead lines (horizontal lines that tend to have expressive lines too).
• Treat smoker’s lines, upper torso (décolletage) lines, and neck lines.

The procedure of Anti Wrinkle Injection Treatment

- Initial consultation: The first appointment with the aesthetic dermatologist in Delhi at Rakshaa Skin Clinic involves assessment of the face and analysis of how the facial muscles are moving and contributing to fine lines and wrinkles formation on the skin surface. If Anti wrinkle injection is appropriate for the patient, then he/she is fully informed about what it entails followed by the treatment.

- Before treatment: The doctor also evaluates the current health status of the patient and reviews his/her medical history to ensure the safety of the anti wrinkle injection treatment.

- During treatment: Ultra fine, disposable needles are used to inject the anti aging protein in minute amounts into the muscles. A numbing cream is applied before using the anti wrinkle injections to make the procedure comfortable, but most people don’t need it. The procedure usually lasts for 15-30 minutes.

- After the treatment: Immediately after getting anti wrinkle injections, the patient experiences mild swelling and slight redness that usually resolves within some time.

For speedy healing of the injection site and alleviation of such symptoms, ice packs may be applied. Moreover, the patient may also notice small pinprick marks of the needle at their points of insertion that can easily be masked by make-up. One can notice the effects of Anti wrinkle injections anywhere between 3 to 14 days post-treatment. Usually, the results last for around 3-6 months.

Repeated anti wrinkle injection sessions may be needed after every 4-6 months depending upon the area being treated and how the patient responds to the first anti wrinkle injection.
