ANTI WRINKLE INJECTIONS

WHAT ARE ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS ?

Anti-wrinkle injections can help tackle the signs of ageing by reducing overactive facial muscles that pull and tug on the skin – this helps your skin look smoother and tighter, giving it a fresher look and can make you look years younger.

ANTI WRINKLE INJECTIONS

We, at M&K Aesthetics are using the most popular brand of anti-wrinkle which is a purified protein designed to temporarily relax the muscles of the area treated to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and prevent the formation of new wrinkles for a more youthful look. Repeated contraction of facial muscles combined with environmental and lifestyle factors causes lines to form as part of the ageing process. This neuromuscular agent blocks the transmission between the neurons and the muscle allowing the treated muscle to relax and for lines to fade as a result of the relaxation. It is commonly used to prevent the ageing process through prolonged muscle relaxation. Anti wrinkle injections can be used to treat a variety of areas including forehead, to give an eyebrow lift, smile lines, jaw grinding, migraine prevention and excessive sweating.
