Anti-Wrinkle Injections

You can have perfect skin like a celebrity – and it is easy!
The face is a mirror of our feelings, emotions and mood. We can be happy and smiling; we can be sad or angry and frowning. Our facial expressions make us beautiful and unique. You cannot always control facial expressions so wrinkles can start appearing at a young age. The first wrinkles to appear tend to occur if a person is very emotional. They also can be determined by genetics.
Wrinkles do not mean wisdom!
Modern aesthetic medicine can help both men and women get rid of wrinkles and look much younger, without resorting to the plastic surgeon’s scalpel.

Injections of botulinum toxin effectively treat frown lines. Both are a type of botulinum type A used to relax the muscles that cause frown lines.

Botulinum toxin injection therapy is recommended in cases of:

• crow’s feet: wrinkles around the corners of the eyes;
• wrinkles on the eyelids;
• horizontal wrinkles on the forehead;
• vertical wrinkles between eyebrows;
• wrinkles around the mouth;
• nasolabial folds;
• upper nose bridge wrinkles;
• horizontal and vertical neck wrinkles;
• hyperhidrosis (sweating) of palm, feet, underarms.

Procedure:  The procedure takes 15-25 min.

Using a very fine needle, the botulinum toxin is injected directly into the muscle, which results in temporarily relaxing the facial muscles. After the injection, the appearance of the line or wrinkle softens and the skin above the muscles becomes nice and smooth. Thanks to the injections botulinum toxin, you are getting rid of the bad habits: you stop frowning and narrowing your eyes.

You look young and fresh again!

After the procedure, you must follow some rules:

• do not drink alcohol for 3 days after the injection;
• refrain from going to the sauna, solarium, and, if possible, from playing sports for 2 weeks.

When will the effect be visible?
You will begin to see the effects within 24-72 hours after injections. You will see the full results between 7 – 14 days after your treatment. You can expect the results to last between 3 and 6 months depending on the type of facial muscles and your body’s metabolic system. After this time, the effects wear off and your muscles return to normal activity and movement. Then the procedure can be repeated.Remember! Injections of Botox should only be administered in licensed medical centres. They also should be performed by qualified, registered physicians.
