Anti Wrinkle Injections

There is no difference between anti-wrinkle injections and Botox. Botox is a brand name for botulinum toxin, a product that targets several different skin problems.

No, skin boosters and anti-wrinkle injections are not the same. Skin boosters can be placed almost anywhere—the face, neck, décolletage, hands and even other parts of the body—to deeply hydrate, firm and refresh the skin. They don’t freeze or affect muscle movement, nor do they change the size or appearance of muscles. Instead, they contain skin-loving ingredients that work more like an intensive, injectable skincare treatment.

Anti-wrinkle injections, on the other hand, target specific muscles to soften lines and prevent wrinkles from deepening. The two treatments are different but complement each other beautifully when combined.

Wrinkles and fine lines are natural consequences of facial expressions, ageing, sun damage, dehydration and stress.

Injections are minimally invasive. They don’t just minimise existing wrinkles; instead, regular injections prevent further dynamic wrinkles from appearing and prevent existing ones from getting deeper.

The treatment takes up to 2 weeks to show its full effect. This softens muscle movement and relieves tension. The result is smoother skin, lifted, and rejuvenated appearance that can last up to 3-6 months, depending on the area and individual’s body response.

The treatment also stops excessive sweating, reduces muscle size, and relieves migraines depending where it is injected.

Every treatment varies from person to person. However, on average the below treatments have different periods of longevity:

Anti-wrinkle treatment typically lasts between three to four months, with a follow-up/touch-up appointment after two weeks. We suggest waiting for at least three months before getting another injection.

Teeth grinding and Jaw slimming can last between three to six months, after which the jaw muscles will slowly regain strength and become more active again. Treatment should be done regularly and repeated between three to five months.

Leg and Shoulder slimming could last between six to eighteen months, given that a person does not exercise excessively and build extra muscle. It might take between two to four treatments before the desired results are visible.

Enlarged pores, rosacea and redness could last between three to four months provided aftercare and homecare is followed.

Before having anti-wrinkle injections, it’s best to keep things simple. Skip alcohol for at least a day as it can make bruising more likely. Try to avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil or vitamin E for a few days beforehand unless these are prescribed by your doctor.

On the day, arrive with a clean face, no make-up, creams or SPF. Staying well hydrated and having a light meal before can make the whole experience more comfortable. Always let your practitioner know if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medication or have any health concerns. Finally, plan your appointment with a few days before any big social event, just in case you get some mild redness or swelling after treatment.

After anti-wrinkle injections, it’s all about giving your skin a little breathing room. Try not to touch, rub or massage the treated areas for the rest of the day, even if you’re tempted. Skip the gym, saunas, steam rooms and hot showers for 24 hours, as heat and sweating can affect the results. It’s also best to avoid lying flat for the first few hours after your treatment.

You can wear make-up the next day if you like, but keep it gentle and avoid heavy pressure on the skin. Alcohol and intense exercise are worth avoiding for a day or two, just to reduce the chance of bruising or migration of the product. Some people see tiny bumps or redness straight after—this usually settles within a few hours. Bruising, if it happens, is temporary and can be covered with light make-up once the skin has settled.

Most importantly, be patient. Results start to show within a few days and continue to improve for up to two weeks. Finally, you must book your 2 week follow up appointment before you leave.
