With our busy lifestyles, we might not even recognise that our skin is changing. That is, until one morning a look in the mirror shows all the tiny lines next to our eyes or on the forehead. Wrinkles are caused by a combination of issues and can affect a number of areas on the face.
Basically, as we age the amount of collagen and hyaluronic acid in our skin starts to reduce, leading to the “sagging skin” effect. On the other hand, the overactive muscles in key parts of the face become the cause of deep lines and wrinkles.
The solution lies in anti-wrinkle injections, which work by injecting a muscle relaxing agent into these active facial muscles. By relaxing the muscle beneath the skin, these injections work to smooth out the outer skin layer, thereby reducing the appearance of lines. A lot of people can be led into a few common myths about anti-wrinkle injections, but at the Harley Clinic, we love to educate our customers about what the treatment is and how it can benefit them.
Difference Between Anti-Wrinkle Injections & Dermal Fillers
Anti-wrinkle injections can be easily mistaken for dermal fillers. However, these are two separate things. Dermal fillers are injected into specific depths within the dermal layer of the skin, unlike anti-wrinkle injections which are meant for the muscles. Additionally, there effects of anti-wrinkle injections are not permanent, but can still help in preventing ageing as wrinkles are not able to form or become deeper since the muscle activity around the injected area becomes controlled.
Benefits of Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Anti-Wrinkle injections carry a range of benefits. Firstly, they are extremely effective when it comes to reducing wrinkles and fine lines and wrinkles. By relaxing the facial muscle, anti-wrinkle injections prove to be an effective anti-ageing measure, and prevent future lines from deepening as well.
They also give you a much clearer look by softening expression lines, leading to natural-looking reduction in things such as smile lines and crow’s feet. Most importantly, anti-wrinkle injections are instrumental in restoring facial balance.
However, realizing these benefits requires the administering of anti-wrinkle injections to be done by trained professionals. At the Harley Clinic, our patients enjoy the combined experience of qualified Cosmetic Doctors as well as Nurse Injectors. We understand that when it comes to restoring facial balance and getting rid of wrinkles, everyone is different and requires a fully tailored treatment experience.
We make an effort to understand your facial structure and anatomy, and then deliver a treatment experience that is customized to help you get the most out of your investment. For best results, we recommend anti-wrinkle injections around the eyes, creased forehead, lowering brows and eyelids areas.
