Most of us in Singapore are probably familiar with anti wrinkle treatments, which involve administering neurotoxins to temporarily paralyse targeted facial muscles. This relaxes the muscles parts of the face, to sharpen your jawline and reduce wrinkles caused by muscle movement
While Anti Wrinkle Treatment is traditionally not used for smoothening skin, a new trend, Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment appears to do so. What is Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment, what are its benefits, and how does it differ from a conventional Anti Wrinkle Treatment procedure? Read on to find out.
Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment is a treatment used to minimise pores, reduce wrinkles and smoothen the skin.
In this procedure, small amounts of diluted Anti Wrinkle Treatment are injected into superficial layers of the skin to target superficial muscles and sweat and oil glands. The aim is to reduce oil production and minimise the appearance of pores and fine lines, ultimately achieving a more even complexion. Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment is especially friendly for those with oily skin and redness associated with rosacea.
The benefits of Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment include:
Due to its minimally invasive nature, one of the greatest upsides of a Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment is that you can return to your daily activities right after your procedure, with little to no downtime. You may start noticing improvements within a few days, with full results typically visible within 1-2 weeks.
Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment acts on the superficial fibers of facial muscles, attached to the lower dermis. The higher dilution and low-concentration inhibit the “pulling” effects of the superficial fibers, and preserves the function of the deep muscle fibers, imparting a rested appearance to the face.
Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment has the potential to induce reversible reduction of the sweat and sebaceous glands, thereby, improving skin texture, and luster.
Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment relaxes muscles guarding lymphatic channels and increases osmolarity in the dermis, leading to fluid retention in the compact dermis. This effect makes the face appear luminous, and usually lasts for 3 months. The multiple needle pricks, relaxed depressor muscles, volume effect, and fibroblast contraction demonstrates a mini “facelift” feel.
Although both treatments are based on the same science of using neuromodulators to partially paralyse the muscles, the techniques used and results achieved are different. The most notable differences are:
In a conventional Anti Wrinkle Treatment procedure, the solution is injected into the muscle in its standard form to prevent dynamic wrinkles, which are wrinkles caused by muscle movement.
On the other hand, Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment is a hyper-diluted version of the neurotoxin, administered with a mixture of saline solution, into superficial layers of the skin. This creates a softening effect, without fully paralysing the muscles.
Anti Wrinkle Treatment is more commonly used to treat deep wrinkles caused by muscle movement. It is also recommended for:
Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment, on the other hand, is useful in:
Anti Wrinkle Treatment is administered deeper into the facial muscles, or the dermis (middle layer of the skin). Since Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment is more commonly used to improve skin texture, it is injected into more superficial layers of the skin in microdroplets and distributed across the face.
Results are not permanent and their effects can last anywhere from 3 to 6 months. Although Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment does not last as long as conventional Anti Wrinkle Treatment, it generally requires fewer doses and less maintenance. Most individuals may return for touch-ups within these 3-6 months to ensure consistently visible results.
Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment is recommended for those who would like to improve their skin texture and reduce early signs of ageing. Younger adults may also opt for Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment as a preventative measure to delay the development of wrinkles.
The treatment can also be used in tandem with other aesthetic procedures such as lasers or injectables, like dermal fillers and skin boosters, for an overall youthful and rejuvenated look.
If your skin concerns lie more within the realm of treating deeper wrinkles or uneven facial muscles, anti wrinkle treatment may be a better option for you. Both Anti Wrinkle Treatment and Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatments confer their own set of benefits. This is why it is important to communicate both your skin concerns and desired results with your aesthetic doctor during your initial consultation. Our aesthetic doctors will advise you on what treatment would suit you best.
Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment is suitable for most people, is low-risk, and is generally well-tolerated. However, it should be avoided if:
During your consultation, let your aesthetic doctor know if you experience any of these circumstances, and inform them of any medication you are currently on. Some medications may interact with Anti Wrinkle Treatment, and your doctor will be able to advise you of any contraindications.
