Anti - Wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle or wrinkle-reduction injections utilise an agent which weakens muscles temporarily. These agents are now generally accepted as a very successful treatment for facial lines, furrows and wrinkles resulting from many years of facial muscle activity. These lines are, in medical parlance, referred to as 'dynamic' lines and are commonly known by terms such as:

  • frown lines
  • worry lines (across the forehead)
  • crow's feet (around eyes)
    • bunny lines (across top of nose)
  • marionette lines (drooping down from corners of the mouth to chin) and
  • smoker's lines (around top lip but may include lower lip)




The clinical staff at carefully place injections to weaken the muscles that create dynamic lines in a manner which is medically safe and does not leave the face looking frozen or expressionless. The effects of the injections are temporary (up to approximately 3 months) depending on, for example, the strength of the muscle. During the time the agent is active, however, people often adapt to using other muscles for facial expression. Further treatments will most likely need to be repeated every 3 to 6 months to maintain the effect, although smaller doses will most likely be required with successive treatments.
