WHAT ARE ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS
HOW DO THEY WORK
Anti-wrinkle injections work by temporarily relaxing the muscles beneath the skin. These injections use a toxin, which blocks signals from nerves to the muscles, preventing them from contracting. This helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, especially in areas like the forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows - typically areas that show signs of ageing.
The result is smoother skin with fewer visible lines, and the effects typically last for a few months before needing a touch-up.
