What is it?

• Anti-wrinkle injections - target specific muscles to cause relaxation and hence prevent formation of static wrinkles.

• It is a neurotoxin which acts on our nervous system to cause muscle paralysis.

​

What does it do aesthetically?

• Can be used for a a variety of reasons.

• As a prescription medication - consultation with a prescriber face to face should be had first for assessment.

• It can help to minimise fine lines by inhibiting muscle movement. This prevents dynamic lines becoming static lines. It can also help to soften static lines (wrinkles).

• Common areas to target are forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet. 

• However there are many other muscles that can be targeted for a desired effect. 

• It is important to see a practitioner with a good knowledge of anatomy to avoid targeting the wrong muscle and hence an undesirable outcome.
