It’s common knowledge that as we grow older we gain more lines or wrinkles on our faces. These lines and wrinkles may then cause further skin deterioration and various other aesthetic issues which give you an unwanted aged appearance. This in turn can affect your self-esteem and in the way you interact with people on a day to day basis.

FAQs

​

What is Muscle Relaxant Injections (anti-wrinkle / wrinkle prevention) and what will it do?

Muscle Relaxant Injections Type A (anti-wrinkle/wrinkle prevention) is derived from the bacteria CB - but don’t worry there isn’t any bacteria in it at all! It works by blocking neurotransmitters in the target muscles which reduces the strength of muscle contraction. Sometimes the contraction of muscles causes the wrinkle of skin, and by injecting small amounts of this material, the muscle contraction is relaxed and therefore smooths out the skin.

​

How long should it take before I see results?

It takes between 24 – 72 hours for botulinum toxin (anti-wrinkle/wrinkle prevention) to take effect. At times, it can take as long as 14 days for the full effect to be observed.

​

Is the treatment safe?

We only use sterile and single use equipment throughout the procedure.
