Wrinkle Reduction Treatments
How Do Wrinkle Reduction Treatments Works?
Wrinkles and lines naturally form as part of the aging process due to repeated contraction of facial muscles used for expressions, such as frowning or squinting. Certain treatments involve the injection of a prescription-only product into specific areas to temporarily reduce muscle activity. This may help soften the appearance of lines. Individual responses and outcomes can vary, and suitability for treatment should be assessed during a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.
What is Involved?
​
Wrinkle reduction treatments are prescription-only procedures administered by a qualified healthcare professional in a clinical setting. The process begins with a comprehensive, face-to-face consultation to review your medical history, assess your facial anatomy, and discuss your goals.
During treatment, the product is injected into selected facial muscles using a fine needle. The procedure is typically brief, taking around 15–20 minutes. Discomfort is usually minimal, and individual responses and outcomes may vary.
Follow-up reviews are recommended to assess treatment response and determine if any adjustments are needed.
​​
​
How long does it take to see Results?
​​
Results may begin to appear within a few days, with the full effect generally established by approximately two weeks. A follow-up consultation is recommended to assess response to treatment and discuss any adjustments that may be required.
​​
​​​
How long will the Results Last?
​
Wrinkle reduction treatments are temporary. Effects usually last between 3 to 4 months but can vary depending on individual factors and dosage. Over time, muscle activity gradually returns to baseline, and treatment intervals should be determined in consultation with a healthcare professional.
​​
