Anti Wrinkle Treatment is used to treat conditions associated with muscle activity. It is most well-known for its ability to smoothen fine lines, prevent wrinkle formation, and slim the jawline. But that’s not all – Anti Wrinkle Treatment is also able to effectively regulate sweat and sebum production.
Anti Wrinkle Treatment works by temporarily blocking nerve signals in the muscles. It prevents the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction. Without acetylcholine, the muscle is unable to contract as it normally would – this temporary paralysis of the muscle reduces the appearance of wrinkles associated with facial expressions.
Anti Wrinkle Treatment are commonly used to treat the following wrinkles:
Besides the above skin concerns, Anti Wrinkle Treatment can also be used for issues such as:
FYI: Anti Wrinkle Treatment can be used in micro doses (Baby Anti Wrinkle Treatment) for overall skin rejuvenation and to treat conditions like rosacea and acne. If you’re looking to address multiple skin concerns at once, consider our Glass Skin Customised Skinbooster instead – this treatment is a combination of micro doses of Anti Wrinkle Treatment, tranexamic acid, hyaluronic acid, amino acids and vitamins for overall skin health.
An appropriate dose of Anti Wrinkle solution is injected into the targeted treatment area – if a muscle is being treated, it will weaken the target muscle’s activity, which prevents unwanted skin contraction. This softens the appearance of wrinkles, prevents worsening, and in some cases may even erase the wrinkles.
For bulky muscles such as jaw masseters, a larger amount of Anti Wrinkle Treatment will be injected. This results not only in muscle relaxation, but also shrinkage of the muscle, giving you a slimmer and more feminine looking jawline.
For treatment of excessive sweating and sebum regulation, micro doses of Anti Wrinkle Treatment are injected at multiple points within the entire treatment area. This has an effect of decreasing sweat and oil production at the treated areas.
Anti Wrinkle treatment may take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete, depending on the area(s) done.
Generally, Anti Wrinkle Treatments are very well tolerated – they are delivered via a very tiny needle, with its diameter almost as small as a strand of hair. We also apply numbing cream and our doctors use a vibration device which will make the procedure a lot more comfortable.
Anti Wrinkle Treatments are not as painful as we imagine it to be. In fact, it could be even less painful than extractions during facials.
If you have any concerns, please let our staff know and we will do our best to ensure your procedure is as comfortable as possible.
Looking ‘frozen’ or unnatural is a common fear patients have about Anti Wrinkle Treatment – these concerns are legitimate but for the most part untrue.
Most of these plastic and fake cases we see are due to plastic surgery done badly, fillers injected poorly or Anti Wrinkle Treatment injected excessively. Anti Wrinkle Treatment, when done well, is very natural as it preserves your facial expressions while slowing down ageing.
A properly done treatment gives subtle yet noticeable results, and the average person should not be able to tell that you have done Anti Wrinkle Treatment; they would just think you look better than your actual age.
A proper doctor’s consultation and assessment will help determine how many units you need and if you are a suitable candidate for Anti Wrinkle Injection at all.
When treated early, Anti Wrinkle Treatment helps to prevent wrinkles from becoming heavy creases on the skin. In individuals with prolonged signs of wrinkles, the lines can be deeper, and hence more difficult to treat.
The use of fillers may be considered in conjunction. Anti Wrinkle Treatment can also reduce muscle bulk to give a sharper face, smaller arms or calves, and even reduce the activity of sweat glands to reduce sweaty palms or armpits. When handled by trained professionals, Anti Wrinkle Treatment can also help in skin lifting. As with any procedure or treatment, results can vary by the individual.

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