If you would like to soften fine lines without undergoing surgery, anti-wrinkle injections may be an ideal option. These treatments have been safely used for over 20 years to reduce lines and wrinkles, as well as to manage a variety of medical conditions.
Botox® and Dysport® are brand names for Botulinum Toxin Type A, a purified bacterial protein. When carefully injected into specific muscles, it blocks the nerve signals that cause them to contract. As the muscles relax, the overlying skin smooths out, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. At our clinic, we use Dysport®.
Dentists have an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy, making them uniquely qualified to carry out this delicate procedure with accuracy and precision. This ensures safe, natural-looking results tailored to your individual needs.
Anti-wrinkle treatment typically involves the use of injectable medicines, such as botulinum toxin, to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles. This softens the appearance of lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a smoother and more youthful look.
When performed by a qualified professional, anti-wrinkle treatment is considered very safe. Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site.
The results usually last between three to six months. Over time, the muscle activity gradually returns, and lines or wrinkles may reappear, at which point repeat treatments can be considered.
When administered correctly, anti-wrinkle injections should give a natural and refreshed appearance, not a “frozen” or expressionless look. Your practitioner will tailor the treatment to suit your individual needs and preferences.
After anti-wrinkle treatment, you should avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area, strenuous exercise, and lying down flat for several hours. Your practitioner will give you specific aftercare instructions to ensure the best results.
