Wrinkle-Relaxing Injections

The science bit

Revitalise Your Look with Facial Wrinkle Injections

At FAB Clinic, we understand the desire to maintain a youthful, vibrant appearance. With advancements in aesthetic medicine, facial wrinkle injections have become an effective solution for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Our expert team offers both neurotoxin and hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers to help you achieve smoother, younger-looking skin.

What Are Facial Wrinkle Injections?

Facial wrinkle injections are non-surgical treatments designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. These injections can be broadly categorized into two types: neurotoxins and hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers.

Neurotoxins: Neurotoxins, work by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles responsible for wrinkles. This prevents the muscles from contracting, resulting in smoother skin.

Hyaluronic Acid-Based Dermal Fillers: Dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane use hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin, to add volume and hydrate the skin. These fillers are particularly effective for treating static wrinkles and enhancing facial contours.

What Wrinkles Can Be Treated?

Practically all kinds of wrinkles including on the neck, forehead wrinkles, frown lines, marionette lines, nasolabial folds or even the crow’s feet can be relaxed through wrinkle injectables.

Benefits of Neurotoxin Injections

1. Reduces Dynamic Wrinkles: Neurotoxins are highly effective in treating dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repetitive muscle movements. Common areas treated include forehead lines, frown lines (glabellar lines), and crow’s feet​.

2. Quick and Minimally Invasive: The procedure is quick, usually taking around 15-30 minutes, with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment​.

3. Long-Lasting Results: The effects of neurotoxin injections typically last between 3 to 6 months. Regular treatments can help maintain a youthful appearance over time.

Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid-Based Dermal Fillers

1. Adds Volume and Hydration: Hyaluronic acid-based fillers restore lost volume and provide deep hydration to the skin, making it look plumper and more youthful​.

2. Treats Static Wrinkles: These fillers are ideal for treating static wrinkles, which are visible even when the face is at rest. Common areas include nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and under-eye hollows​.

3. Enhances Facial Contours: Dermal fillers can also be used to enhance facial features such as lips, cheeks, and jawline, providing a more balanced and defined appearance​​.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are facial injections for wrinkle relaxation?

Facial injections for wrinkle relaxation typically involve neurotoxins. These injections temporarily block nerve signals to muscles, preventing them from contracting and thus reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines.

How do wrinkle injections work?

They work by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions. By blocking these signals, the muscles relax, and the overlying skin smoothens out, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

What areas can be treated with wrinkle relaxation injections?

Common areas treated with wrinkle relaxation injections include the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), around the eyes (crow’s feet), and sometimes around the mouth for a gummy smile or lip lines.

How long do the effects of wrinkle relaxation injections last?

The effects of wrinkle relaxation injections typically last between 3 to 6 months. The duration can vary based on the individual’s metabolism, the specific product used, and the treatment area.

Are wrinkle relaxation injections safe?

Yes, wrinkle relaxation injections are generally safe when administered by a qualified practitioner. Side effects are usually minimal and temporary, such as bruising, swelling, or slight pain at the injection site. Rarely, more serious side effects can occur if the injections are not performed correctly.

Who is a good candidate for wrinkle relaxation injections?

Good candidates are adults who are bothered by dynamic wrinkles and want a non-surgical treatment to improve their appearance. Pregnant or breastfeeding women and individuals with certain neurological conditions should avoid these treatments.

What should I expect during a wrinkle relaxation injection procedure?

The procedure is quick, usually lasting about 15-30 minutes. The practitioner will use a fine needle to inject the neurotoxin into specific muscles. Discomfort is minimal, and no anaesthesia is typically required. Patients can resume normal activities immediately afterward.

How soon will I see results from wrinkle relaxation injections?

Results are typically visible within a few days, with full effects appearing after about two weeks. The treated areas will gradually smooth out as the muscles relax and the skin adjusts​.

Can wrinkle relaxation injections be combined with other treatments?

Yes, wrinkle relaxation injections can be combined with other treatments such as dermal fillers, chemical peels, or laser therapy for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Combining treatments can address both dynamic and static wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.

How much do wrinkle relaxation injections cost?

The cost of wrinkle relaxation injections varies depending on the provider, geographic location, and the number of units required. On average, treatments can range from £200 to £400 per area treated.

Are there any side effects of wrinkle relaxation injections?

Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and discomfort at the injection site. In rare cases, side effects can include headache, flu-like symptoms, or drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow if the injection spreads to adjacent muscles.

How often should I get wrinkle relaxation injections?

Most patients get treatments every 3 to 6 months to maintain their results. The frequency can vary based on how quickly an individual’s body metabolizes the neurotoxin and their aesthetic goals​.

What should I do to prepare for wrinkle relaxation injections?

To prepare for the treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E, for about a week before the procedure to reduce the risk of bruising. Inform your practitioner about any medications or health conditions you have.

Can I wear makeup after wrinkle relaxation injections?

It is recommended to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after the procedure to reduce the risk of infection or irritation at the injection sites. After that period, you can resume your normal skincare and makeup routine.

Do wrinkle relaxation injections hurt?

The injections are generally well-tolerated and cause minimal discomfort. Some patients describe the sensation as a small pinch or sting. If you are concerned about pain, your practitioner can apply a topical aesthetic or ice to numb the area before the injection.
