Anti Wrinkle Treatment: Guide to Softening Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Most side effects are temporary, mild, and usually associated with any injectable treatment. These include:

1. Redness
2. Swelling
3. Bruising

Anti Wrinkle Treatment is best for dynamic wrinkles i.e. lines caused by facial muscle movements, such as crow’s feet and forehead lines. For deeper wrinkles caused by age, the concurrent use of fillers or energy-based devices may be required. Our doctors will advise which treatment combination is best for you. 

Anti Wrinkle Treatment is generally injected into muscles to weaken them, whereas fillers are injected into various layers of the skin to lift and support it through restoring facial volume. In short, Anti Wrinkle Treatment and fillers are injected into different parts of the face, they provide different effects, and they are not interchangeable.

Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment is essentially Anti Wrinkle Treatment but in much smaller doses – the biggest difference is instead of lifting, Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment is used for skin rejuvenation, such as to achieve ‘glass skin’. Notably, Micro Anti Wrinkle Treatment is very helpful for oily skin problems and to create a matte complexion. 

Having a broad face can be due to 3 factors: bone, fats and large chewing muscles. Anti Wrinkle Injection works best for face slimming if the cause of your wide jaw is due to large chewing muscles. Please note that Anti Wrinkle Injection cannot change your bone profile significantly (e.g. broad face due to a naturally squarish jaw). However, continued Anti Wrinkle treatments for large masseters over a long period of time have been shown to slightly improve a broad, squarish jawbone. A consultation with a doctor will help you determine which face slimming treatment is best for you.

Yes, Anti Wrinkle Treatment is very safe and approved for use by doctors. It has been used for various medical purposes since 1989. For the treatment of wrinkles for example, the amount we inject is much less than that used to treat conditions such as tight muscles in stroke patients. With that said, it’s essential to follow the recommended dosage and undergo the treatment at a reputable clinic.

The effects of Anti Wrinkle Treatment typically last for about 3 to 6 months. After that, the treated muscles gradually regain their normal function, and wrinkles may reappear.

When you stop doing Anti Wrinkle Treatment, you will not look worse than before. In fact, you will look better than someone of the same age who has never done Anti Wrinkle Treatment.

Once the effects of Anti Wrinkle Treatment wears off (~3-4 months), your skin will simply go back to its pre-injected state and look and feel the same as it was before. In other words, the ageing process is put on ‘hold’ during the time you are on Anti Wrinkle Treatment. 

Addiction refers to our inability to resist things which are harmful to us such as alcohol, smoking and illicit drugs. Such substances alter complex neural and chemical pathways in the brain to create dependence.

Anti Wrinkle Treatment has not been proven to cause such changes in our brains, and we can choose to stop Anti Wrinkle treatments at any time. People look forward to regular Anti Wrinkle Treatments because it makes us look our best. 

It is recommended to start Anti Wrinkle Treatment in your late twenties to early thirties, which is the age where our skin starts losing the ability to produce collagen. By starting treatments early, we can prevent wrinkles from appearing, which would otherwise be more troublesome and costly to treat in future.

After your Anti Wrinkle Treatment, you should avoid: 

• Touching or rubbing the treated area 
• Strenuous physical activity for the next 24 hours 
• Drinking alcohol for the next 24 hours 
• Hot saunas, hot showers or other forms of heat exposure for the next 24 hours
• Prolonged sun exposure for the next 24 hours
• Lying down on the treated area for the next 2-3 hours 
• Facials for at least a week
• Doing more Anti Wrinkle Treatment – be patient and wait for the recommended time frame before assessing the results. It may take a few days to a couple of weeks for the effects to become fully apparent.

Your provider will provide specific pre-treatment instructions, but generally, it’s a good idea to avoid alcohol and prolonged sun exposure before the procedure. 

When done correctly, Anti Wrinkle Treatment will not result in saggy skin. In fact, certain Anti Wrinkle treatments such as Nefertiti facelift are performed to achieve a lifting effect.

Anti Wrinkle Treatment is suitable for most people with mild to moderate wrinkling. 

Anti Wrinkle treatment may not be suitable for individuals with the following conditions:

• A documented history of allergies to Anti Wrinkle Treatment or other similar products
• Pregnancy
• Breastfeeding
• An active skin infection in the area intended for treatment
• An ongoing herpes zoster (shingles) or herpes simplex (cold sore) infection
• Chronic medical conditions affecting nerves or muscles, such as myasthenia gravis or motor neuron disease

Following your procedure, you can do simple facials 24 hours after. For chemical peels, facials that involve machines (hydrafacial, I2PL, M22) or anything with pressure (bojin, gua sha) we recommend waiting one week. For anything that involves a dermaroller or RF, we recommend waiting two weeks.
