Cosmetic Wrinkle Treatments
What are Wrinkle Treatments?
Wrinkle treatments are non-surgical cosmetic procedures that use a purified protein to temporarily relax facial muscles. This helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, providing a smoother and more youthful appearance.
Treatments indications:
The most common facial areas for cosmetic wrinkle treatments include:
- forehead and frown lines
- crows feet and eyebrow lifting
- eyelid droopiness
- downturned mouth
Cosmetic wrinkle treatments can also be used to address other types of facial concerns and functional issues, including but not limited to:
- gummy smile/ asymmetrical smile
- chin dimpling and wrinkling (Peau d’Orange)
- facial slimming
- teeth grinding and clenching
- temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ)
- excessive sweating in the armpits/hands (Hyperhidrosis)
- Skin texture/appearance and pore size
How Do Wrinkle Treatments Work?
Wrinkle treatments work by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected. This prevents the muscles from contracting, which in turn softens the appearance of lines and wrinkles. The effects are temporary, typically lasting between 3 to 4 months.
Why Choose Cosmetic Wrinkle Treatments?
- Minimally Invasive: Wrinkle treatments are a non-surgical option that requires no downtime.
- Quick Procedure: Treatments are typically quick, often completed within 15-30 minutes.
- Proven Results: Widely used and studied, these treatments have a long-standing track record of safety and effectiveness.
What to Expect
- Consultation: Your treatment begins with a comprehensive medical consultation to discuss your goals and assess your suitability for wrinkle treatments.
- Procedure: During the treatment, small amounts of the purified protein are injected into targeted muscles using fine needles.
- Aftercare: There is minimal to no downtime; you can usually return to your normal activities immediately. Some patients may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites, which typically subsides within a few days.
Types of Wrinkles and Treatment Considerations
Understanding Wrinkle Formation
When addressing facial lines and wrinkles, it's crucial to understand their causes to choose the most effective treatment. Wrinkles can generally be classified into two types: dynamic and static.
Dynamic Wrinkles
Dynamic wrinkles result from natural facial expressions such as smiling, laughing, frowning, or showing surprise. These wrinkles form when facial muscles contract, causing the skin to stretch over them. Dynamic wrinkles are most noticeable during moments of expression. If left untreated, they can eventually become static wrinkles.
Dynamic wrinkles are typically treated with cosmetic wrinkle treatments that relax the underlying facial muscles. These treatments temporarily block nerve signals in the targeted muscles, preventing contractions and helping to smooth out wrinkles.
Static Wrinkles
Static wrinkles are caused by a loss of skin elasticity due to factors like gravity, reduced fat and collagen, and ageing. Unlike dynamic wrinkles, static wrinkles are visible even when the face is at rest. These wrinkles tend to develop over time and are often addressed with volumising Gel treatments.
Static wrinkles are commonly treated with volumising gel or bio-remodelling treatments. These treatments help restore lost volume and improve skin elasticity, smoothing out lines such as smoker’s lines and cheek folds, and re structure facial tissue for a more refreshed appearance
