Anti-Wrinkle Injections for the Upper Face
The signs of ageing are often the result of changes well beneath the skin. Anti-wrinkle injections can tackle fine lines and deep furrows in the upper facial area by relaxing the muscles underneath.
RELAX IT
Crow’s feet lines, forehead lines and those deep furrows between the eyes (‘glabellar” lines) are the result of repeated muscle contractions from our facial expressions. When our skin loses elasticity as well, these lines stay put, even when our face is at rest’
Naturally enough, these are areas many women would like to do something positive about, but in a way that doesn’t look ‘frozen’ and with natural-looking results”‘. Anti-wrinkle injections are a quick, non-surgical option for smoothing out the upper face area. Minute injections into the muscles underneath ease them into a state of relaxation. This effectively softens the appearance of lines and creates smoother looking skin’.
Dermal fillers can also be used in this area, to restore the volume and moisture loss that also accompanies the passage of time. They can add volume above your eyes to achieve a less tired look and, when combined with anti-wrinkle injections, contribute to an overall rejuvenation of the upper face’.
Simple and in in most cases, painless, anti wrinkle injections usually show initial effects after a couple of days with fulli impact visible at between 7 and 14 days. Efects last between three to four months and gradually wear off over time. lf you have regular anti- wrinkle injections, the effects may last a little longer’.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are injectable derma fillers?
Injectable dermal fillers are approved treatments that temporarily add volume to certain areas of the face, including the cheeks, lips, or nasolabial folds.
What are aesthetic neurotoxins?
Aesthetic neurotoxins can help temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe lines in certain areas of the face such as moderate to severe forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet in adults.
How do injectable dermal fillers work?
Injectable dermal fillers are made from a range of different substances, but the primary ingredient in most injectable fillers is hyaluronic acid, a water-loving molecule found naturally in the skin. A modified form of HA serves as the backbone of many clear, colorless, gel-like injectable fillers, which are injected under the skin to add volume to areas such as cheeks, lips, and facial wrinkles and folds.
How long to injectable fillers last?
How long dermal fillers last can depend on your injector technique, product injected, and area of the face treated.
How do injectable neurotoxins work?
Once injected into the treatment area, they work to temporarily block the muscle contraction, which causes the muscle activity to decrease and the appearance of wrinkles to reduce.
How long do injectable neurotoxins last?
You may begin to see results in within a few days, with increasing improvement in one week, and full results in several weeks. Retreatment should be no sooner than every three months.
