What You Should Know About Anti-Wrinkle Injections
With aging our skin’s levels of collagen, elastin and hyaloronic acid naturally decrease leaving us with unwanted wrinkles. Our environment and stress levels pay a big part in how quickly wrinkles and folds appear. There is hope for those that are not wanting to undergo surgical procedures such as cosmetic brow-lifts (temporal lift), Anti-Wrinkle injections.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections have been used in Australia and New Zealand as therapeutic treatments for over 15 years. They were originally used to treat eye movement disorders but in recent years have become somewhat of a fad amongst the rich and famous. But what are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?
Anti-Wrinkle Injections are a prescription-only treatment containing a natural, highly purified protein which are administered in a few tiny injections specifically into the muscles that form facial expressions creating a smooth, younger looking appearance. Once the muscles are relaxed, you cannot make the wrinkle-forming facial expressions therefore allowing the existing lines to gradually smooth and prevent new lines from forming.
Unfortunately Anti-Wrinkle Injections cannot treat all problems. Although the rate of patients undergoing surgical procedures has decreased, there are still patients that will need a surgery to lift conditions such as droopy eyebrows and eliminate the deeper wrinkle lines. This can now be achieved permanently via small incisions in the scalp and the use of an endoscope for better visualisation. Endoscopic Brow Lifts are performed under general anaesthetic by plastic surgeons trained in cosmetic surgery.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections should only be given by a qualified medical practitioner who knows how to administer Anti-Wrinkle Injections correctly and who has a detailed knowledge of muscular anatomy of the forehead and eye regions.
